Soledad O'Brien Leaving CNN: Sources

Looks like Soledad O'Brien might be ditching CNN. Sources tell the New York Post that new CNN honcho Jeff Zucker is planning to move Erin Burnett into O'Brien's morning anchor slot, alongside Chris Cuomo. O'Brien had been promised a move to a primetime slot, but nothing has come of that, a source says, and O'Brien is "telling friends she is likely to leave." The source adds this zinger: "Soledad is talented at producing in-depth, serious pieces of journalism, and is a tough interviewer. That doesn’t seem to fit the direction the network is going." Say it with us now: Ooh, burn. (More Soledad O'Brien stories.)
