A report in The Daily Caller suggests that Wolf Blitzer's CNN program, The Situation Room, is in big trouble. “Wolf gave [new Executive Producer] Jay [Shaylor] full reign to make any changes,” said a CNN insider. “The show is about to die. It’s now or never.”

Apparently several members of CNN anchor Wolf Blitzer‘s staff have marched out ever since they brought on Jay Shaylor allegedly to save Wolf’s hide.

Sources are telling The Mirror that Wolf’s former executive producer Patricia DiCarlo, who now works in the network’s investigations unit, was purposely shoved out, despite the narrative about high burnout. “Patricia DiCarlo is highly partisan and was moved out to create more balance,” said the TV media observer, explaining that partisan, in this case, means leans Democrat.

Staff have complained to HR and to Wolf about what they view to be Shaylor’s poor work ethic and condescending personality — but to no avail. Wolf listened, but did nothing. Known for their loyalty, Wolf’s staffers have typically remained with him for years and years.

The word spreading around the news network is that Blitzer, once the face of CNN, is too old and too boring for the the new CNN:

Which brings us to another floated theory inside CNN about Wolf, which is that the 66-year-old anchor, who has been with the network since 1990, is too afraid to say anything that would defy Shaylor and rest of top management, lest he risk his own job security. Some are saying he’s old, washed up and therefore has good reason to simply obey and do as he’s told. While many in the cable news industry perceive Wolf to be a sturdy franchise for CNN, others aren’t convinced his standing there is so air-tight.

But isn’t Wolf a brand?

“Ratings suck,” a TV media observer explained. “He is the face of CNN. They are beginning to think it may be that he’s too old and too boring. Which he is. He stutters. He’s terrible.”
