Send CNN President Jeff Zucker a message, and tell him that dropping Soledad O'Brien is crazy.
Soledad O'Brien has made quite a splash lately by doing something that has become all too rare -- practicing actual journalism.
She has been unafraid to hit back hard against the lies and talking points of elected officials, responding quickly with facts, logic, and the truth. It's no surprise that several of these interviews have gone viral, given how refreshing her approach has been. And it's no surprise that she is widely viewed as perhaps CNN's best journalist.
And now CNN has decided to drop her. She will no longer host her morning show. It's mind-boggling, but it's true.
Throughout the whole process, O'Brien has shown grace and class, and declined to criticize Zucker and CNN. And she already has projects planned, so we're sure she will do fine.
But this move is crazy. And CNN needs to hear that from us.
Send CNN President Jeff Zucker a message, and tell him that dropping Soledad O'Brien is crazy.
