John Harwood

In the video, the ex-CNN White House correspondent called Trump a "dishonest demagogue." Hours later, he announced he would be departing the network.

It's wrong when [Republicans](https://www.newsweek.com/topic/republicans) do it," she said in a tweet on Thursday evening. Positioning Marines in uniform behind President Biden for a political speech flies in the face of that. "Whatever you think of this speech, the military is supposed to be apolitical. And is it being noticed by the audience?" During his address, Biden said that Trump and the "MAGA Republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our republic." There is a lot of speculation on directives and motives.

He said he was proud of the work and called himself “lucky to serve the best in American media,” including stints at the St. The show appeared to be an early casualty in CNN’s effort to be less confrontational politically — a priority of Chris Licht, who became the network’s chairman and CEO in the spring, and his boss, David Zaslav, head of the Warner Bros. “Today’s my last day at CNN,” Harwood said in a tweet posted Friday.

CNN White House Correspondent John Harwood announced his departure from the news organisation on Friday. CNN is now reevaluating its programming strategy.

I understand both why Licht wants to resurrect and reinforce that brand and why the network’s talent is fearful of what it means. I honestly don’t know what the answer to all of this is. Harwood added that the “core point” of Biden’s speech, which asserted that Trump and his supporters present a threat to democracy, “is true.” [with the New York Times], Malone denied that he was involved in the decision to push out Stelter. “I think they’re hoping people will just guess what to do.” News should be “Just the facts, Ma’am” and opinions should be clearly labeled such. Licht has told CNN staff that he hopes to see more Republican politicians making guest appearances. And it certainly seems that Licht is doing a piss poor job of telling them. Several current and former CNN employees who spoke with The Washington Post — most of whom spoke on the condition of anonymity to speak candidly — are interpreting the sudden exodus as evidence that Licht, who joined the network as chairman and CEO in May, is starting his tenure by casting out voices that had often been critical of former president Donald Trump and his allies, in an effort to present a new, more ideologically neutral CNN. After his shocking victory in 2016, many news outlets, including CNN and WaPo, decided, not unreasonably, this his governance constituted an existential crisis and removed the firewall, slowly at first and eventually almost entirely. “I don’t think it was an accident,” Ali said. In his final reporting appearance Friday morning, Harwood called Trump a “dishonest demagogue” when discussing President Biden’s address from Philadelphia the previous night.
