A longtime CNN correspondent just received some bad news regarding the future of his career with the network. This comes five months after his reporting resulted in the company losing millions of dollars due to a defamation trial.
Oliver Darcy, a former CNN media correspondent, said that Marquardt was given the boot due to “editorial differences.” However, the disgraced reporter was careful to be vague when announcing the news of his departure on Monday.
In January, a jury in Bay County, Florida, decided CNN had defamed U.S. Navy veteran Zachary Young, going on to rule that Young could seek punitive damages due to a report from Marquardt dated November 2021.
Young accused the liberal news network of smearing his character by implying he made money off helping folks escape Afghanistan during the Biden withdrawal debacle. The veteran said the report “destroyed his reputation and business” by making him out to be a profiteer who was exploiting “desperate Afghans.”

The network could be looking at a 50-100 million Dollar payout. Serves those lying bastards right.
