(NEWSBUSTERS) — You read that correctly. The liberal media’s janitor, Brian Stelter will be returning to CNN two years after being canned amid network-wide shake ups under the leadership of since-ousted boss Chris Licht. That’s according to a Tuesday scoop by Stelter’s former CNN media beat buddy Dylan Byers, and later confirmed by Stelter on X and in a post from the resurrected Reliable Sources Newsletter.

“Two years after his termination from CNN, former host and media correspondent Brian Stelter is returning to the network full time, per reliable sources. Formal announcement expected tomorrow. (Or today now!),” Byers wrote on X.

Stelter announced the news on X, saying they created a new title just for him and he would be resurrecting the Reliable Sources Newsletter after his former flunky, Oliver Darcy abruptly left the network in the beginning of August (possibly over Stelter’s imminent re-hiring):

Fibis I am just an average American. My teen years were in the late 70s and I participated in all that that decade offered. Started working young, too young. Then I joined the Army before I graduated High School. I spent 25 years in, mostly in Infantry units. Since then I've worked in information technology positions all at small family owned companies. At this rate I'll never be a tech millionaire. When I was young I rode horses as much as I could. I do believe I should have been a cowboy. I'm getting in the saddle again by taking riding lessons and see where it goes.
