CNN anchor Alisyn Camerota announced on Wednesday that she’s “breaking up” with Twitter because it’s become “mean and verbally abusive.”
"It's over. I'm breaking up with you," wrote the co-anchor of CNN's "New Day." "You're a shadow of your former self, the one I was first attracted to. It's no fun to be with you anymore.”
"You've become mean and verbally abusive,” she continued. “In fact, you gross me out. You're a cesspool of spleen-venting from people who think it's acceptable to insult other people in public and anonymously."
Camerota went on to say that she won’t miss Twitter “for a second.”
“I don't like thinking of people using you, typing away with nothing but a keyboard and a chip on their shoulder, but that's the company you're keeping,” she wrote. “You're hanging out with people who find satisfaction spewing vitriol, people who spread racism, misogyny, and anti-Semitism. Perhaps it's worse than I know. Maybe you're struggling with addiction: addiction to outrage. It's a powerful drug. I wish I could help you kick it. I feel its pull sometimes too. But I don't want to be sucked in. All I can do is save myself from the bitter dark places where you like to dwell.
“So, I'm done. I'm moving on. I'm looking for something else, something real and lasting. Something that involves actual people, not nearly 48 million bots. I prefer my real friends over fake humanoids run by computers and true trolls filled with genuine venom. Call me old fashioned, but I like hearing viewers' real thoughts, not the ones special interest groups pay them to tweet. And to the tens of thousands of folks who took time to follow me, I trust we'll find a kinder place to reconnect.”
It’s unclear what motivated Camerota to delete her account after 8 years using the social media channel.
She left the door open to a possible return if Twitter becomes “more thoughtful” in the future.
Perhaps her decision to cut ties has to do with the backlash she and her co-anchor Chris Cuomo received when one of the producers for her show “New Day” was caught on camera calling American voters “stupid as shit.” Who knows.

[You’ve become mean and verbally abusive,” she continued. “In fact, you gross me out. You’re a cesspool of spleen-venting from people who think it’s acceptable to insult other people in public and anonymously.”]
That would be liberals she’s describing.
Duh!!!
More winning!
Sounds like someone needs her “safe space”.
She writes to Twitter like it is a person.
She criticizes it for the same reasons people hate CNN.
What a maroon!
A quivering lower lip that can be seen from orbit.
It’s probably my fault for saying she was a dead ringer for a well known barracks queen at Ft Gordon in 1992.
Exactly. She just described every libtard on Twitter, but she’s too stupid to realize the irony of it all. It kinda sucks when the other side decides to fight back using the same tactics, huh? Grow up bitch.
I suppose it it easy to anthropomorphize Twitter when you are a twit.
Liberals have been insulting the American people for decades. How shameful of us hayseed, gun toting Deplorables for fighting back against them. I’m sure for Alisyn the world was a better place when she and her fellow lefties had no opposition. Now our side is taking them on in what used to be their safe zones like Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and Yahoo, and they don’t like it one bit!
Twitter should sue her and then network immediately
Camerotten can’t handle the heat. CNNISISIS.
could never stand this stupid, dumb idiot when she was at FOX,
As you sow, so shall you reap.
I see that your autocorrect changed that last word. Mine does that too. It's very annoying. :=)
Hahahaha! I despised her even on FOX. Totally insincere, snide, and sneering.
The people on Twitter that she’s attacking and insulting... sounds like a mirror image of herself. Too dumb to recognize herself within her own words.
She could have avoided some of the backlash. She had a choice. She could have fired her producer and denounced the producers comments. She didn't do that.
So instead she gets angry with the backlash.
Speaking of "stupid as shit"...
