The ax has fallen on the New Yorkers who work for storied foreign correspondent Christiane Amanpour.

CNN has canned Amanpour's entire New York City-based staff — four producers — as part of the troubled cable news channel's restructuring, sources said.

Odds on spotting her at Al Jazeera America?

Well, she fed the alligator hoping it would eat her last. It had her as an appetizer.

Did you know we’re living in a robust economic boom? :)

Awwwaaa...

Odds on spotting her at Al Jazeera America?

you mean MSNBC?

[PROCON]

Just damn, the Bush economy is still messing with poor old Christine and CNN </sarc>

[edh]

It baffles me how this angry old man C. Armanpour has remained on the air for so long.

[Huskrrrr]

I don’t know this woman, I haven’t spent much time in airports lately so I haven’t watched CNN in awhile.

[Huskrrrr]

OK, Christiane is a man. My mistake.

[shalom aleichem]

God! That is such good news.

Now I fully understand what schadenfreude means.

[TomGuy]

Amanpour and her London team are still part of CNN.

Whenever I hear that voice it drives me nuts. She seems to think that accent gives her an erudite air, that is until you hear what she has to say. A leftist through and through.

[tacticalogic]

Did they catch someone giving her information that hadn’t been cleared through Hamas?

[jetson]

She always looked like she had just sucked a sour lemon.

[GeronL]

haha!

Well, perhaps she can find a job elsewhere.

I heard ISIS is in need of strumpets.

[Huskrrrr]

Thanks! I haven’t seen this.
