How will we know who is black in America without Soledad to tell us on CNN? Stay tuned.
Soledad O'Brien Out As CNN Host, Will Return To Documentaries
Soledad O'Brien is leaving CNN mornings, but she's staying with the network -- sort of.
O'Brien told the New York Times that she is returning to the role she had before she became the host of "Starting Point" in 2011: a roving documentary reporter. The twist this time is that she is forming her own production company and will not be tied exclusively to CNN; she will be able to shop programs to other networks and air them on the Web as well.
O'Brien's future as a regular face on the network was immediately put into doubt when CNN announced that Chris Cuomo would be its new morning host. O'Brien's "Starting Point" had generated plenty of headlines, but was perpetually low-rated.
On Wednesday, Page Six reported that she was headed out the door.
"We had conversations in general about my role at CNN," O'Brien told the Times. "What we ended up with was, they wanted to partner with me, and I wanted to partner with them."
On Thursday, O'Brien appeared on "The Wendy Williams Show," where she said she was looking forward to "doing stuff I like to do, which is hard-hitting journalism."

Good luck, Soledad, you're going to need it. It appears that CNN is not in the market for propaganda; CNN has cut its ties with phony journalism and shown O'Brien the door. Of course, CNN will "allow" her to sell her OPINIONS to other networks - that is, if they are in the market for fiction. Oh, there may be one news network that might possibly want to use her "hard-hitting journalism" - The Onion.
