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

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.

The hate Trump stick just isn’t as popular as it once was. Now they are kicking back hoping for a George Floyd moment or a new Covid outbreak. But, it looks like war is coming—like it or not. We will find—Trump is as good at war as he is in business. He’s like a new Teddy Roosevelt!

Smelly Kelly knocked Camerota out of the Fox lineup. Her short dress blond card expired and her contract would not have been renewed. It’s remarkable that with so little appeal Camerota remained on the air for so long. It’s not CNN has the best journalists, it’s just that they have so little talent that kept her alive. Camerota’s epitaph should be “She’ll read anything”

Nice bod. This was from 2004, the heady days of the Bush era, when no criticism of Bush was allowed here.

Back when we thought there actually was a difference between the two parties.

I also blame Limbaugh partly for that perception. He spent the 90s hammering that point. He was also clueless about the whole deep state thing.

Lol.

I Didn’t really start watching Fox until about 2009-2010, but I do remember they always had a bunch of hotties always sitting around whith short dresses and high heels.

I remember Michael Savage used to call the whole Fox News network “The Leg Show”...and wasn’t being complimentary when he said it.

Good Times.

I’m sorry about her husband, but I liked her at Fox and it angered me to see her go to CNN. TRAITOR.

I wouldn’t be surprised to see Fox take her back, but I hope they don’t.

This could be good news for Newsmax, to beef up their Journalism talking heads.

Maybe she wasn’t anything ideologically but was just reading what they wrote for her. After a few years or months or weeks or days at CNN she started sounding like everyone else there even off-camera, but I’m not sure that she was a liberal or progressive all along, just an opportunist.

I'd say just an airhead that can read, except for her ad lib comments that revealed her leftist lunacy.
