Cyanne Howard is a former associate producer for CNN Business Programs, who gained public attention in January 2021 when Project Veritas released an undercover video secretly recording her during a meeting arranged through a personal connection. In the recording, Howard candidly discussed perceived biases in CNN's news coverage, alleging that the network prioritized narratives favorable to Democrats, describing CNN as 'the opposition party' and claiming its reporting on Russiagate was 'bullst,' on COVID-19 vaccines was fear-mongering, and on Donald Trump was relentlessly negative—focusing on the 'orange man bad' trope—to influence elections. She stated that CNN's goal was to 'help the Democrats' and that objective journalism was secondary to pushing certain stories, including reluctance to cover stories damaging to Biden. The video, part of Project Veritas' series exposing CNN insiders, led to widespread media discussion about journalistic integrity at the network. Howard left CNN shortly after the video's release, though the network did not publicly confirm her employment status or respond directly to her statements. No further public details on her career post-CNN or additional biographical information are widely documented, though she had a personal acquaintance with a Project Veritas operative, highlighting adversarial dynamics despite the connection.
