Brian Stelter Lands Teaching Job at Harvard after CNN Fired Partisan Host

Former CNN host Brian Stelter has landed a new teaching job at Harvard after he was sent packing by the cable network during a long-overdue shakeup.

After recently being taken over by a new parent company, CNN’s bosses are trying to get the failing network back to respectability.

He will be the Walter Shorenstein Media and Democracy Fellow at Harvard where he will continue to push the low-rated narratives that cost him his job.

CNN’s new ownership group is led by a billionaire Trump donor John Malone.

Malone had grown tired of the partisan direction the network took during the Trump years.

Stelter announced his new gig in a post on Twitter.

“Personal news: Iโ€™m joining the @ShorensteinCtr at Harvard Kennedy School,” Stelter tweeted on Monday.

“This fall Iโ€™ll be the Walter Shorenstein Media and Democracy Fellow, convening discussions, some of which will be live-streamed.

“Grateful to @nancygibbs and her team for the home!โ€

โ€œAs the Walter Shorenstein Fellow, Stelter will convene a series of discussions about threats to democracy and the range of potential responses from the news media.

โ€œThese discussions with media leaders, policymakers, politicians, and Kennedy School students, fellows, and faculty will help deepen public and scholarly understanding about the current state of the information ecosystem and its impacts on democratic governance.

โ€œBrian Stelter is a nationally recognized media reporter and expert on the state of journalism and its wide-reaching implications for society and governance.

“Until August 2022 he was the anchor of ‘Reliable Sources,’ which examined the weekโ€™s top media stories every Sunday on CNN, and the chief media correspondent for CNN Worldwide.

โ€œPrior to joining CNN in November 2013, Stelter was a media reporter at The New York Times.

“He has been a fellow at the Georgetown University Institute of Politics and Public Service and an adjunct professor at New York Universityโ€™s Arthur L. Carter Journalism Institute.

โ€œHe was named to Forbes Magazineโ€™s ’30 Under 30: Media’ for three consecutive years, and Fortune Magazineโ€™s ’40 Under 40: Media & Entertainment.’

โ€œStelter is the author of the 2020 New York Times best-selling book, HOAX: Donald Trump, Fox News, and the Dangerous Distortion of Truth.

โ€œIn 2013, he published The Times best-seller Top of the Morning: Inside the Cutthroat World of Morning TV.

โ€œHe is a producer on Appleโ€™s drama ‘The Morning Show,’ which is inspired by the book.

โ€œIn 2020 he also executive produced the HBO Documentary, ‘After Truth: Disinformation and the Cost of Fake News,’ directed by Andrew Rossi, who featured Stelter in his 2011 documentary, ‘Page One: Inside the New York Times’,โ€ the center said.
