Mediaite editor Aidan McLaughlin sits down with veteran media reporter Oliver Darcy to discuss his sudden exit from CNN and his new venture "Status." Darcy, who helmed the wildly popular "Reliable Sources" newsletter for years at CNN, often clashed with leadership at the network thanks to his strident criticism of the industry that didn't spare his own employer. Darcy spoke about tensions inside CNN, his refusal to call Fox News a “news network,” the future of cable television, his own career in conservative media, and why Tucker Carlson owes him $1,000. This episode was produced by Brandon Reschke and Kathryn Wilkens.
