The CNN Reporter Found Liable for Deliberately Defaming the Navy Vet Announces His Sad! Departure from CNN

I can't help but notice that a ton of #Resistance "journalists" have been fired by the leftwing media over the past year.

There have been a lot of reports that Hollywood studios and game studios have decided to use the cover of their plunging income to fire a lot of their wokest, worst-performing activists, too.

Woke activists and DEI employees are luxury expenditures. You can only afford their wealth-destroying presence when times are so good you can still make money even deliberately attempting to lose it.

Once you've had a string of $300 million bombs (in both movies and videogames), it's time to tighten the belt and shed the Woke Wealth-Destroyers.

Is that why CNN has parted ways with this professional defamer who cost the company at least $5 million?

That's my guess.

But who knows, maybe he's just really hot to get in on this Podcast Hustle he's heard so much about.

In a Monday morning X post, chief national security correspondent Alex Marquardt announced that he would be leaving CNN "after 8 terrific years." But Marquardt's departure comes four months after he cost the network several million dollars and tarnished their reputation with a maliciously defamatory report against Navy veteran Zachary Young.

"Some personal news: I'm leaving CNN after 8 terrific years," he wrote to his followers.

Adding: "Tough to say goodbye but it's been an honor to work among the very best in the business. Profound thank you to my comrades on the National Security team & the phenomenal teammates I've worked with in the US and abroad."


Marquardt was at the center of a January defamation trial as his reporting about Young, a security contractor who was coordinating efforts to get innocent people out of Afghanistan, was found to be maliciously defamatory and cost CNN $5 million in economic and emotional damages, plus an undisclosed amount in punitive damages.

Through discovery, messages between Marquardt and his "phenomenal teammates" (as he described them) proved that he had targeted Young with actual and pressed malice. He had boasted to an editor that he was "going to nail this Zachary Young mfucker," and he agreed with another co-worker that Young had a "punchable face."

During the trial, it came to light that Marquardt had fabricated a call with Young, falsely giving the impression that he tried really hard to get a hold of him before the story went to air. In footage that was left on the cutting room floor, but was played for the jury, he joyfully called the fake phone call "theater!"
