Reliable Sources is an American Sunday morning talk show that aired on CNN from 1992 to 2022. It focused on analysis of and commentary on the American news media. It aired from 11:00 AM to 12:00 PM ET, from CNN's WarnerMedia studios in New York City. It was also broadcast worldwide by CNN International.

The show was initially created to analyze the media's coverage of the Persian Gulf War, but went on to focus on the media's coverage of the Valerie Plame affair, the Iraq War, the outing of Mark Felt as Deep Throat, and many other events and internal media stories.

On August 18, 2022, CNN canceled the program, and host Brian Stelter announced his departure from the network. The final episode aired on August 21, 2022.[2]
