Liberal political analyst Joan Walsh is headed to CNN after MSNBC decided not to renew her contract as a paid contributor. So it’s true: after 12 years on MSNBC, six on contract, I learned Friday night they are not renewing. “Unfortunately we couldn’t renew Joan, but she and her distinct perspective will still be invited on our shows.”A day later, Walsh announced that she had been picked up by CNN and would begin there in 2018, news she called "a Christmas miracle." A Christmas miracle.— Joan Walsh (@joanwalsh) December 24, 2017Before her announcement about CNN, multiple news personalities and former MSNBC colleagues showed their support for Walsh on Twitter. We need progressive women's voices," MSNBC host Joy Reid tweeted.
