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.

I didn’t know anybody still watched CNN except people stuck in airports.
A “political analyst” who was totally wrong in her analysis. Seems like not a great loss.
Star?
Never heard of her.
CNN needs to go away!
RISING STAR, CAITLIN COLLINS? LOL! I STILL THINK SHE’S A TRANSGENDER!
These people are in their 70s. How about retiring on all those millions and make room for the new propagandists?

Many of them are OLD, 60 minutes hack Leslie Stahl is older than Biden at 83, Carl Bernstein, 80, Bob Woodward 81.
Just the ones that come to mind.
