Dec 6, 2012: TV Newser: Jack Cafferty No Longer with CNN
Jack Cafferty, resident curmudgeon on “The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer,” whose TV news career began 52 years ago in Reno, has left CNN, TVNewser has learned. Apr 4, 2009: Huffington Post: CNN's Jack Cafferty Confesses 'Crush' On Michelle Obama
I think I am developing a crush on America's first lady. Michelle Obama is more compelling than her husband. He's good, but she's utterly fascinating. Retro News: Sept 18, 2008: CNN's Cafferty: Not Voting Obama? You're a Racist!
From Conservative Crusader: To show the empty "logic" that Jack Cafferty of CNN employs in his political commentary all one need do is check out his September 16 Political Ticker blog post on why the race for the White House is so tight in the polls. Reason: the country is filled with racists. Yes, folks, if you are voting against Obama (and no matter who or what you are actually supporting and why) it must be because you are a racist. It isn't because you stand against what Obama stands for, it has to be because you are a racist.

In the 1990s, Cafferty became a business reporter during his 1992–1998 tenure as a News at 10 anchor on New York's WPIX-TV. In the summer of 2005, Cafferty joined The Situation Room, CNN's weekday afternoon newscast. Cafferty also formerly co-anchored CNN's weekday morning broadcast, American Morning.
