Everyone is leaving CNN

Rusty DorninDo you have a favorite reporter or anchor at CNN? They might be leaving the network.

We told you last week about Miles O'Brien leaving the network after 16 years, and now there are more departures to report. Kelli Arena has left CNN after almost 25 years, having started as an intern in 1984. Linda Stouffer, an anchor at CNN Headline News, is leaving too. She's been there for 11 years. And correspondent Rusty Dornin is also leaving. She's been with the network for 17 years. Pentagon correspondent Jamie McIntyre is leaving too. He's been with the network for 16 years. I'm sure I'm forgetting someone on this list. Oh, wait! Kathleen Koch is leaving too.

But don't worry, Nancy Grace and Rick Sanchez remain with the network. Ahem.

In happier news, CNN has new screen graphics today! There's nothing better to ease one's anger that a favorite reporter is leaving than a new font.

Man, that sucks. Linda Stouffer is hot. I'll also miss Kelli Arena...she reminds me of a Rankin Bass character from Rankin Bass. I think it's her mouth.

Oops. Sorry I repeated Rankin Bass up there. Drinking and surfing don't mix.

Now if Ken & Barbie in the morning would just go and they would bring back Soledad O'Brien in the morning, I might return to watching the network. Otherwise I will stay with MSNBC and Morning Joe w/Mika.

Are we supposed to hate Rick Sanchez?

Jamie McIntyre was the only name you mentioned that I'm halfway familiar with.

Omega, I'm sure CNN will have another person like Beck (conservative "non-Republican"), so don't get too excited.

Enjoy D.L. Hughley while he still has a job.

Are they leaving willingly or is because the media network admin are forcing out correspondents/actors with over 10+ yrs of experience for fear of salary costs, regardless of quality/experience?
