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.

CNN drops space and science; Miles O'Brien looking for a job

Miles O'BrienAfter 16 years, Miles O'Brien is leaving CNN.

The reason? CNN has decided to get rid of their science/tech/environment/space division, because nothing ever happens in science, technology, the environment, or space. The network says that they're getting rid of the division because the "Planet in Peril" series already covers all of that stuff, and they'll just integrate the rest of the science coverage into their regular news. Translation: more cost-cutting in the news business.

It's kind of sad to see O'Brien go. Just a couple of years ago he was the co-host of American Morning with Soledad O'Brien, and then he lost that gig and went back to covering space and technology, and now that coverage is gone. It was always good to have him around for space shuttle launches and for his expertise when their was a problem with a plane or a plane crash.

I'm sure they'll still cover space shuttle launches, but now they'll be hosted by D.L. Hughley and Nancy Grace. (Kidding)
