O'Brien has been with CNN since 2003 when she was anchor of 'American morning.' She's now anchor of CNN's current morning show, 'Starting Point,' - a gig that began in January of 2012. The show runs from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m.
Soledad O'Brien says losing her job as CNN's morning host is a 'win-win' because her show has been understaffed and essentially ignored by the network.
O'Brien's firing is one of many major personnel moves made by the network's new chief, Jeff Zucker, who offiically took the reins in January.
She said she knew early on that she wouldn't be part of Zucker's plans for CNN.
'Jeff made it clear that he had a very different vision,' she said, 'and we're going to see how that unfolds. It was never about would I stay or would I go.'

Soledad was about as useless as Don Lemon . . . maybe Soledad will get a gig at Al Jazeera.
Yeah right what she said /sarc
What really happened was her show attracted viewers but the wrong kind. Minority viewers. Advertisers would see the audience numbers and breakdown and shy away
The liberal racists at CNN said as much in a tweet or email or memo that surfaced, that they immediately tried to deep-six. The CNN management obviously does not believe in affirmative action for shows that pull in the minority viewers
Win-Win? Sounds more like Spin-Spin from the gal named after a California prison.
Just wonder when CNN whacks The Mummy, Wolf Blitzer. He is a talking coma...
Soledad O’Brien says she was “understaffed” and “ignored.”
I figure that means that she lacked her accustomed lackey whose job was to polish her toenails. As a result, she had to waste her time going to a manicurist.
Will we know it is her under the burkha?
“Soledad was about as useless as Don Lemon”
Which one is more interested in wearing woman’s clothes?
I agree, Soledad is not suited to a news organization.
Sounds like something Charlie Sheen would say...Ever notice you never see the two of them at the same place at the same time???
Don't forget the bottom line. The guilt ridden white liberal yuppie has a lot more disposable income than those he claims to champion. It's all about advertising bucks.
A nasty, vile racist with an IQ below room temp....
Come to think of it, I never see Mickey and Minnie Mouse at the same place and same time either. Are you saying that Mickey is really Minnie in drag?
A nasty, vile racist with an IQ below room temp....

I always did think Soledad could use a good staff now and again.
Anything to shut her up.
Of course she’s happy..now she can get unemployment benefits like the rest of the Obama drones
I was kind of thinking of getting her to stamp her widdo foots.
Arriba! Arriba! Ole! Sole!
