John Bonifield is an American journalist and television producer with over 16 years of experience at CNN, where he serves as Supervising Producer for the CNN Medical Unit and Health team. He primarily collaborates with CNN Senior Medical Correspondent Elizabeth Cohen on health-related content and has credits as a producer on shows such as 'House Call with Sanjay Gupta.' Based in the Atlanta metropolitan area, Bonifield specializes in health journalism and video storytelling, having transitioned from earlier roles that included political analysis as a former CNN political analyst and medical senior producer. He attended the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications at Syracuse University. In June 2017, Bonifield became the subject of national controversy when Project Veritas released an undercover video recording him admitting that CNN's coverage of alleged Trump-Russia collusion was 'mostly bullshit' and motivated primarily by ratings rather than substantive evidence. The video, which portrayed Bonifield as a CNN political analyst at the time, sparked debates about media bias and led to defenses from CNN, though no formal disciplinary action against him was publicly reported. Limited public information is available on his personal background, family, or early life.
