Sarah Isgur, a controversial CNN hire, will be an analyst, not a politics editor
By Paul Farhi Paul Farhi Media reporter Email Bio Follow March 8 at 6:17 PM A controversial new CNN hire may have just gotten a little less controversial.
“It’s been a great vacation but I am back on twitter!” she tweeted. “And news: I will go to CNN as a Political Analyst instead. Will start next month on air and on line. See y’all soon!” She also reportedly pledged her loyalty to President Trump to land her job in his administration as a spokeswoman for attorney general Jeff Sessions, whom Trump forced to resign in November.
Isgur evidently asked for the reassignment, having rethought her position since she was hired last month. A CNN spokeswoman, Lauren Pratapas, said Friday that Isgur proposed changing her role from editing the news to analyzing it instead. “We agreed and we look forward to her starting in that role,” she said.
