CNN Senior Producer Hunter Waters lost his battle with esophageal cancer this morning. Waters was the lead political producer for CNN’s “Larry King Live” and as CNN’s Sam Feist writes on CNN.com, Waters “produced interviews with the top people in American politics, from Presidents Obama, Bush, and Clinton to candidates for the White House and beyond.” Waters worked at CNN for more than 10 years, starting as an intern.
