Media Alert: Brian Stelter, “Reliable Sources” Staff OUT at CNN, Condolences to NBC’s Richard Engel

Share

CNN’s Brian Stelter has confirmed after many reports that he’s out at CNN, his show, “Reliable Sources,” has been cancelled. Other reports say the whole staff has been let go.

CNN’s new leader Chris Licht, and new owner David Zaslav, are determined to overhaul the network. This is a sure sign that they’re on their way. Stelter was a workhorse who was completely devoted to the network and his show. But low ratings are not going to be tolerated at the revamped news network.

Stelter will turn up somewhere good. He’s too smart and talented not to…

At NBC condolences to super foreign correspondent Richard Engel. He and his wife, Mary, have announced the death of their six year old son, Henry, from neurological disorder RETT Syndrome. Engel wrote on Twitter: “Our beloved son Henry passed away.  He had the softest blue eyes, an easy smile and a contagious giggle.  We always surrounded him with love and he returned it, and so much more.  Mary and Richard.”

We’re very sorry for their loss.
