Diane Dimond out at Court TV

The reporter noted for her Michael Jackson coverage emailed a fan club that she was dropped by Court TV last week. Here's an excerpt of the message, which is posted on the Yahoo group devoted to her:

Second, I have to say you guys are VERY perceptive. You noticed when I appeared on Nancy Grace's CNN show recently that the title beneath my name only said INVESTIGATIVE JOURNALIST.

That's because my contract with Court TV is/was coming to an end in
December and they decided to end it early. Court TV told me on
Wednesday that they planned to dismantle my Investigative Unit and
Friday was my last day there...

But onward and upword! [sic] My book on Michael Jackson ("Be Careful Who
You Love: Inside the Michael Jackson Case) will be out on November
15th and I'm working with my publisher to do publicity on it, etc.
I'm also planning what to do next with myself and am actually quite
excited about the prospects! My friend Nancy Grace says now that I
have some free time she expects me to join her on her CNN show from
time to time.
