Senior reporter Oliver Darcy, known for his work on &#8220;Reliable Sources,&#8221; has departed from CNN, as reported by various sources. The title &#8220;Reliable Sources&#8221; may ring a bell since it was also the name of a now-canceled CNN Sunday morning program hosted by the controversial Brian Stelter. Unlike Stelter&#8217;s show, Darcy&#8217;s &#8220;Reliable Sources&#8221; was a newsletter that focused on analyzing the media landscape and information economy, serving a similar purpose to Stelter\u2019s program. In an announcement obtained by Variety, Darcy introduced his new venture called \u201cStatus.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\u201cStatus\u201d aims to provide incisive reporting and thorough analysis on topics related to journalism, Hollywood, and Silicon Valley, drawing from extensive industry knowledge and sources. In his Thursday message about the new platform, he stated: \u201cThere will be no sugarcoating or holding back\u2014just straightforward truths about those who influence our world.\u201d According to Variety, this newsletter will be published from Sunday through Thursday. Unlike Stelter\u2014who seemed somewhat disgruntled after his show&#8217;s cancellation\u2014Darcy appears to have left CNN on good terms.<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly enough, both Stelter and Darcy share a notable disdain for former Fox News commentator Tucker Carlson. During his time at CNN, Stelter frequently criticized Carlson; this sentiment seems to have continued even after leaving CNN. For instance, one of Darcy\u2019s last posts on social media platform X (formerly Twitter) referenced Elon Musk&#8217;s acquisition of it.<\/p>\n<p>Both Darcy and the account for his newsletter ceased posting in July 2023 when Musk announced Twitter would rebrand as X. In one of his final messages on X before leaving the platform entirely with that post just days later he described it as \u201cwarped and disfigured,\u201d likening its existence to that of a zombie under poor leadership.<\/p>\n<p>According to Variety\u2019s report regarding Darcy\u2019s departure from CNN: he is eager to forge his own path and believes he can transform his reporting skills into a successful business model. Observers are likely curious whether Darcy&#8217;s future endeavors will resemble Carlson&#8217;s post-Fox success or mirror those of former colleagues like Stelter or Don Lemon who have faced challenges in their careers after television<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2321512,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Oliver-Darcy.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[33651],"tags":[9373,5157,4188,4133,37607],"class_list":["post-2321511","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-western-journal","tag-cnn","tag-journalism","tag-media","tag-news","tag-oliver-darcy"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Oliver-Darcy.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2321511","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2321511"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2321511\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2321512"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2321511"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2321511"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2321511"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
