Oliver Darcy, CNN’s ‘Reliable Sources’ Critic, Exits

As a seasoned movie critic with over two decades of experience under my belt, I’ve seen enough shifts and shuffles in the industry to fill several Hollywood blockbusters. The news about Oliver Darcy leaving CNN is just another chapter in this never-ending saga.


As a devoted admirer, I’m sharing the news that Oliver Darcy, the brilliant mind behind CNN’s influential “Reliable Sources” newsletter, has bid farewell to the Warner Bros. Discovery-supported platform. This departure leaves uncertainty about the future course of their media empire.
