John Harwood announced that today is his first day at CNN as White House Correspondent …
some personal news: this is my first day at @CNN as White House Correspondent. honored and proud to join a team of journalists I’ve admired for so long

Alrighty then.
You know that feeling when you’re not sure if something is hilarious or pathetic so you just laugh because either way, this comes across as a joke? Yup, that’s happening for this editor, right this minute. We suppose there is no better match for someone of Harwood’s reputation.
Heh.
You’ll fit right in. https://t.co/arPPotbjn7

He really will.
And ouch.
Mollie Hemingway said it perhaps best:
As has been documented for years, this man is too dim and way too hackishly partisan to be offering even his poorly-developed opinions at a legit outlet. To be a WH correspondent is flat out laughable. This would be shameful, if CNN were intending to be treated as respectable. https://t.co/HVUSBOdzMq

It would be shameful IF CNN were a respectable outlet.
We know they’re not so that’s ok.
Mollie? CNN is a "legit outlet"?

Of course not. Not for years now. And they should not be treated as such. The Russia hoax they perpetrated — and continue to perpetrated, we should note — on the world eviscerated their credibility, even if they weren't cartoonishly partisan.

They eviscerated their own credibility.
Bingo.
He's in good company with @Acosta.

He’ll do great at CNN.
They have a history of helping candidates out …

Harwood may get his checks from CNBC or now CNN but he has been working for the DNC for years.
