Reliable Sources is a featured segment on CNN's weekly political program State of the Union with John King, focusing on analysis of the American news media.
Featuring Howard Kurtz, Reliable Sources reviews the coverage of the news stories of the past week by the media, in addition to news about the news media behind the scenes, all with a constantly changing group of online, print, and broadcast journalists. The segments also feature some one-on-one interviews with journalists taking part in a news event or covering a story, such as Bob Woodruff after his return to ABC News in February 2007 after his severe injuries in Iraq on January 29, 2006.
Reliable Sources was a stand-alone program from 1992 to 2009. It was initially created to cover the media's coverage of the Persian Gulf War, but has since also covered the media's coverage of the Valerie Plame affair, the War in Iraq, the outing of Mark Felt as Deep Throat, and many other events and internal media stories. The show was made into a "part" of CNN's new Sunday morning program, State of the Union with John King, on January 18, 2009. Even with these changes, Reliable Sources still airs Sundays at 10:00 AM EST, and is still given its own entry in electronic program guides so viewers can "Tivo it" as John refers. Its primary competition is Fox News Channel's Fox News Watch.
