CBS News senior political correspondent Jeff Greenfield is leaving the network.

In an email to staff Monday night, Greenfield said he will be departing CBS at the end of April. It does not sound like the decision to leave was his own, if the email was any indication:

5. And Couric also supposed to be out?
Sounds like a very big shakeup.

6. From that wording, seems to imply CBS attempted to impose something on him he didn't like.
Pay cut? That's what I'm thinking. Someone mentioned upthread that Couric is also leaving. Connection?

8. Couric should had been cut long time ago. She is useless.

7. It was probably one of those
"what have you done for us lately" management decisions.
