CNN star makes shock announcement on-air as network braces for lay-offs (Alisyn Camerota)
Daily Mail ^ | 12/09/24 | James Gordon

Posted on 12/10/2024 2:38:48 AM PST by Libloather

CNN anchor Alisyn Camerota, 58, signed off from her final broadcast with the network on Sunday after more than a decade on air and just five months after she lost her husband to pancreatic cancer.

In an emotional farewell, Camerota reflected on her remarkable journey with the channel which she said had included 'interviews with presidents, heroes, and extraordinary individuals'.

Camerota said experiencing such moments while working for CNN had been the culmination of her lifelong dreams in journalism.

'The journalists at CNN are the very best in the business,' Camerota told viewers as she expressed her deep gratitude for the opportunities and camaraderie she experienced at the network.

'It's been an honor to be in your homes this past decade through some of the biggest stories of our lifetimes.'

Camerota joined the network in 2014 after a 16-year stint at Fox News. She hosted its morning show for years alongside Chris Cuomo before moving to afternoons in 2021.

After Warner Bros. Discovery took control of CNN, Camerota found herself in various positions at the network, including as the network's 11pm host before she became a political commentator and fill-in anchor with the network.

Last month it was revealed how the ratings-challenged network is reportedly set for a major bloodbath with highest paid on-air talent at risk as part of wide-ranging layoffs.

The cable network fell behind rivals MSNBC and Fox News during Election Night coverage.

It was reported how the 'layoffs that will impact hundreds of employees across the organization,' according to Puck News.

Earlier this year, CNN already laid off about 100 employees — or 3 perecent of its workforce.

“She can learn to code.”

With the money these hosts are making, she can retire and enjoy the things she loves to do.

“ I always liked her at Fox. She seemed like she was a cut above some of the ditzy dingbats.”

She’s an arrogant airhead like most of them.

When still on fox, I watched her say someone “denounced” their citizenship.

You could tell someone in her ear corrected her that it’s “denounced.”

So she proceeded to repeat it as many times as possible because in her head she knew she couldn’t be wrong.

Made sense she ended up at cnn.

'The journalists at CNN are the very best in the business,'

"The business", in this case, is puking up leftist propaganda. They are very adept at it.

Camerota had a personality transplant the day she went to CNN. She did a political 180 and fit right in.

Both of those words are spelled the same, so did she mispronounce “denounced” the first time?

Want to explain that or change one of the spellings?

She made a career mistake.

Yep, she once had a solid career in front of her with a huge audience. She got caught up in the lefty propaganda and Ailes probably said something nice to her and she got flustered and triggered and went to CNN and became miserable for the rest of her career.

Her and Nicole Wallace are two of the worst leftwing scumbags on broadcast media. I utterly despise them both.

Tokyo Rose was a piker compared to those two filthy hags. /spit

Agreed...she was totally faking the funk at Fox.

I used to watch her and assume she was conservative.

I think there are still a few over there at Fox doing the same thing..

A cut above some of the other Ditzy Dingbats?

Apparently you never saw her do the mud obstacle course on Fox news.
