FLASH: JUDY WOODRUFF LEAVES CNN This message was just sent on CNN's internal messaging system: "To my colleagues and friends at CNN: I've decided to leave daily journalism after 30 years, 12 of them at this network. I've had challenging and exciting opportunities, been supported by an amazing and talented group of people, and made lifelong friends. I wish them the very best. I'm discussing several long-form projects in television. I'll also teach, do some writing and be an occasional consultant and contributor to CNN. To all of you at CNN who have been so wonderful to me, I can't begin to thank you adequately. But thank you. We will stay in touch and we'll always have memories of good journalism, good times and a few laughs together."
One more communist down. If only Michael Moore would retire.
CNN will have their people work with the dnc people to begin interviewing.
Her and Al's son Jeff had a shunt installed in his brain for spina bifida complications.
Something went wrong with it about 7 years ago and he's drastically debilitated over last years.
In a wheelchair, speech incoherant, right side of body not working, very depressed.
It's always been a stress that the Hunts have downplayed, but Judy has wanted to spend more time with him once her contract expired.
Sorry that a woman in her 50s who has a profoundly sick kid isn't superficial about her looks and not hot enough for the shallow freepers out there. (not directed at finalapproach29er persay, but other freepers laughing about her looks)
Can we take up a collection to buy Aaron Brown some Kleenex -- so he can BLOW HIS NOSE! Drives me crazy....
Bill Hemmer and John King.
Okay, but we all have problems in our lives -- family illnesses, tragedies, etc. -- which we have to deal with. The difference between them and most of the rest of us is that they have A LOT of $$ with which to help them "deal."
What you said:)
Im sorry but money doesn't help one deal with certain problems.
How shallow can one be to think money makes a loved one's injuries easier to 'deal' with ?
All the money in the world can't make Judy's son better again.
I don't quite understand the envy people have towards those who've made or have money.
Like their personal woes are don't hurt as much with $$$$$ Totally untrue and jealous thinking.
And people don't become journalists as a money making proposition.
They become Doctors or Lawyers or something more linear towards profit making.
Al's brother is a Veterinarian.
His career choice was considered more stable than Al's when they were much younger.
Al's family wanted him to become something more $$$$-making then journalism.
So they both worked hard and had some luck and have money.
So you hate them cause they're liberal and now because they have money ? Yeesh
Who is Judy Woodruff, is she one of the Dixie Chicks?
Oh, please! "Your family knows . . . "
The same thing was said about Scott Peterson. Your family doesn't know squat about the inner workings of one of the most destructive TV personalities of the decade. Just shut up and let the enjoyment reign.
Judy Woodruff is one of the most openly biased Leftists in the News Media biz. Over and over and over, she sticks it to Republicans and Conservatives, yet fails to flatly admit her sickening prejudices, thereby maintaining a fig leaf of objectivity.
FReeper comments against her are based on THIS, and are not intended to slam her as the Mother of a disabled child or as an imperfect looking female. They are slamming her (including digs at her looks) because of reason no. 1 stated above.
It is the same reason they go after Helen Thomas.
All the pity in the world, which we might have toward the personal problems of our fellow humans, cannot cover over the harm these screeching Leftists in the Press have caused this nation.
I'll really miss that constipated expression every time she mentioned anything President Bush did or said...not! And did she really not realize that her lip-smacking drove some viewers nuts? The entire geriatric wing of lefty journalism that has lied to the nation for 30-40 years ought to be off the stage shortly. They will not be missed.

My uncle has been best friends with Hoopes since he as 5.
Know them quite well.
You can't stand for anyone to come to their defense and spoil you're pathetic sense of fun.
Get a life.

Commenting on Judy's personal politics is fine.
Bringing in 4th grade playground digs just looks mean-spirited and does nothing to advance anyone's cause.
Don't let the door hit you on the way out Judy.
I'm glad they're both disappearing from public view and I won't miss them for a second.
As far as their son is concerned, don't you dare tell me that money doesn't help them deal with his situation. If they need a private nurse for him 24/7, no problem. If he needs a special school or tutoring, they don't have to make a decision about what bill they can put off this month so he can get what he needs.
So how does that make me shallow? I'm stating the obvious here, and you want me to feel sorry for them??!!? Well I don't. There are thousands of parents in this country dealing with children with spina bifida without the resources Al and Judy have, and THOSE are the parents I empathize with.
Going to share her hair style with Al Hunt....
I don't watch him, so I'm not sure what the deal is. Does he have a snotty nose, or does he sniff a lot?
Hopefully she'll take her s***bag husband (Al Hunt) into retirement with her.
