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.

It all sounds like the annuity payments from cable YB are the only thing keeping CNN in business. When does that contract come up for renewal? Hopefully it’s not in perpetuity.
The money these propagandists are paid is bizarre.
Hard to believe there isn’t lots of talent out there at 1/10th the price.
Digital media means you can get far more accurate news at pennies on the dollar, without wondering how much you are being lied to.
Well, let’s start with “cnn star”
There is no such animal.
Keep cutting the cord...those paying for cable and satellite that includes CNN are paying these salaries.
They don’t deserve to survive.
She’s old. Doesn’t matter.
A falling star for some time— and good riddance to a tick like annoyance with a voice like chalk on a blackboard.
Buh bye weird bird.
With respect— that voice would cause electile dysfunction and a whole lot else. Quite an irritant. Almost as bad as Andrea Mitchell (really who in the world would marry Alan Greenspan?).
Why would I give 2 shits why, when or what this high paid liberal commie does in the future? Go!! Just go!!
“Another CNN star (Gloria Borger)....
Another CNN star I never heard of.
What, in the name of heaven, makes any of them worth this kind of money? The ability to lie convincingly?
If I wanted to utilize digital media right now what would you suggest and how? Be gentle because I am a Luddite.
Wolf is a total dumbass.
YouTube is so-so with lots of entertainment content. It is somewhat censored.
Freerepublic is one of the best for news. Multiple youtube videos are posted to give comprehensive coverage with a bit of a look. Rumble is coming up.
Mostly, I use my desktop computer and search for what I wish to watch. I am more of a reader and prefer print to video.
Thanks.
40+ years ago she was kind of cute.
How about CNN slug?
The wheels of God grind slowly, but the grind exceedingly small.
