Update: Dylan Ratigan to leave CNBC today

MediaBistro is reporting that, according to CNBC spokesperson Brian Steel, "Dylan has told us he is leaving effective today." Steel calls Dylan Ratigan's sudden departure from CNBC "a mutual decision." Steel also said, "Due to the serious economic times in which we live, we made a decision that it would be a distraction for Dylan to host 'Fast Money' today." CNBC's Melissa Lee is scheduled to fill in for Dylan on "Fast Money" "for the time being."
