Yet another senior CNN staffer is fleeing the station following dismal election ratings - this one a 17-year veteran.
The network on Wednesday confirmed word of the 72-year-old Gloria Borger's departure - bidding goodbye to the longtime political analyst in the process.
As of writing, there's been no word on the journalist's future plans yet, as she's already served stints at CBS News and CNBC.
Prior to that, the Westchester native worked as a contributing editor and columnist for U.S. News & World Report magazine. She also worked as a reporter for Newsweek.
Her exit comes days after CNN anchor Alisyn Camerota abruptly signed off for the last time after a decade with the station.
Weeks before, execs cut ties with veteran Chris Wallace, whom, days earlier, insiders had said would have likely been on the receiving end of a pay cut if he decided to stay. The 77-year-old had reportedly been making $7 million-a-year.
Borger's salary, by contrast, remains unknown - but she had recently cut back her responsibilities at the CNN, with her less on-air appearances being noticed by viewers.
Just last month, an explosive new report from Puck saw insiders claim that network executives are on cusp of some sweeping lay-offs - all designed to save the network's flailing reputation.
Other reports, meanwhile, have indicated that other senior stars like Wolf Blitzer and Jake Tapper have both been denied raises as well - as sources in November told Puck the cut-backs could see high-paid staff nixed and have staffers worried.
While there is no word yet of who it may, CNN's highest paid stars include Anderson - who rakes in $20million a year - Erin Burnett, who makes $6million, and rising star Kaitlan Collins, who collects $3million.

Maybe crime doesn’t pay after all.
Hard to feel sorry for them. They did it to themselves. Being openly biased towards the Democrat Party has done them no good in the long term!
RE: Anderson - who rakes in $20 million a year - Erin Burnett, who makes $6 million, and rising star Kaitlan Collins, who collects $3 million.
And poverty stricken people are going without food and shelter.
But except for Nicole Wallace, Lawrence O’Donnell and the others on rival MSNBC, where would people go for leftist lies and slanders against Trump? Hmm?
LOL
Glad someone has some compassion for the evil, lying, self-satisfied propagandists who endanger Trump’s life by agitating the unbalanced viewers to stop him.
Oh, forgot: /SARC
Maybe crime doesn’t pay? 🤔 Well that’s never been a problem for our cogresscritters and senators, crime pays extraordinarily well for them.
“where would people go for leftist lies and slanders against Trump? “
podcasting ... the last refuge of formerly infamous talking heads who no one wants to listen to anymore ...
Famous phrase to remember:” Would you like fries with that?”
She used to be hot back in the Reagan years, in my opinion.
We got old.
“The network on Wednesday confirmed word of the 72-year-old Gloria Borger’s departure...”
“Weeks before, execs cut ties with veteran Chris Wallace, whom, days earlier, insiders had said would have likely been on the receiving end of a pay cut if he decided to stay. The 77-year-old had reportedly been making $7 million-a-year.”
Youth will be served.
Who agreed to pay these exorbitant salaries and why?!??
“Who agreed to pay these exorbitant salaries and why?!??”
Democrat owners and donors.
Have to push the agenda at any cost!
It’s been like Christmas every day since the election
Come on, Musk! You can do it! It’ll be cheap. Surely you’ve trained up some great underling who’d be perfect at bringing back the balance we once thought was there. Just show up occasionally for your own time. Have Trump occasionally and some opposite politician who’ll look absurd next to the Greatest President Ever. Make sure your opinions on DOGE get proper publicity. You KNOW your ratings would skyrocket.
I’m in tears.(s.)
Rarely has the expression “rats from a sinking ship” been more appropriate.
That’s why they are writhing like salted leaches over the man they tried to kill being elected by we the people to the highest office in the world.
The most trusted name in news.
“Another CNN star (Gloria Borger) flees failing network as panicked remaining staff brace for impact of looming layoffs”
Regardless of she thinks of women sleeping with woman, that WILL NOT affect my opinion of her.
