Robert NovakLooks like Robert Novak finally got the boot from CNN. According to a post by Poynter’s Romenesko, CNN has announced the departure of Novak, after 25 years with the network, effective Dec. 31.
Jon Klein, president of CNN/U.S., said in a cryptic release: “Through the years, Bob has offered incisive analysis for much of CNN's programming, including Crossfire, The Capital Gang, Inside Politics, Evans and Novak, The Novak Zone, and Novak, Hunt and Shields. Bob has also been a valued contributor to CNN's political coverage. We appreciate his many contributions and wish him well in future endeavors."
Only appropriate, I would say, after his role in Plamegate. Novak was the first to “out” Valerie Plame as a CIA operative, and we still don’t know for sure his source(s).
