John Harwood, a prominent journalist, has recently left CNN. He tweeted the news and expressed his eagerness to see what transpires next. A CNN representative claimed during an interview with The Hollywood Reporter:
We appreciate John’s White House coverage and wish him the best.
Uncertainty is the reason for Harwood’s resignation, but according to his contract, he has some time left with the business. They were also notified of CNN’s decision last month, according to a source.
John left CNN after Brian Stelter’s departure and the cancellation of his program, Reliable Sources. The business executives at Warner Bros. Discovery instructed CNN’s new president, Chris Licht, to eliminate opinion-based programming and focus more on hard news.
John Harwood’s career at CNN
John Harwood departed CNBC in January 2020 to join CNN. In 2019, he was notorious for criticizing President Donald Trump and the Republican Party as fundamentally broken. Even since Joe Biden became president, Harwood has provided political analysis.
During his primetime address on September 1, Biden described MAGA Republicans as a threat to the democratic ideals of the United States. Harwood agreed and remarked:
Biden’s view that Trump and conservative Republicans pose a threat to American democracy is undeniable.
On his final appearance on CNN on September 2, he remarked that such work is challenging for journalists. He said:
“We have been taught that there are two political parties with opposing ideas, and we do not take sides in their genuine differences. But that is not the subject of our discussion. These are genuine variations. The Republican Party is being headed by a charlatan.”
