Time is a flat circle, especially so for Brian Stelter this week.
The former CNN anchor announced he would return to the network and his “Reliable Sources” newsletter Tuesday—just two months after his successor Oliver Darcy left the network.
Stelter was fired in 2022 during CEO Chris Licht’s ill-fated era at the network, as part of a purge of those known for their critiques of Donald Trump and other Republicans. Stelter then went off to write a book focused on Fox News and the 2020 election, later taking a job as Vanity Fair’s special correspondent.
