According to reports, Carville and Matalin are not renewing their contracts as CNN contributors. They join RedState co-founder Erick Erickson who will also not renew his contract and is reportedly heading to Fox News Channel.
On the other side of the cameras, Mark Whitaker, CNN’s executive vice president and managing editor for the last two years, announced his intention to leave the network as well. Whitaker famously oversaw the development of Soledad O’Brien’s Starting Point.
Former 20/20 reporter Chris Cuomo, who recently announced he will depart ABC News for CNN, will reportedly help revamp the network’s morning lineup moving forward.
