David Axelrod on Leaving 'Partisan' MSNBC

"I think that’s the nature of it."

Initially, David Axelrod was coy with Washington Post’s Erik Wemple when explaining what led him to leave MSNBC for CNN earlier this month.

In his explanation, the senior political commentator focused initially on what drew him to CNN, rather than what had made him leave MSNBC, telling Wemple, “CNN has really made a huge investment in covering this campaign and, you know, I think I’m a reflection of that. They wanted my expertise and wanted to offer my expertise.”
