CNN’s Christiane Amanpour is leaving the cable network after more than four decades as one of its most recognizable faces, she said Monday.
The announcement, which sent shockwaves through the chattering classes, came weeks after Paramount Skydance finalized its purchase of CNN’s parent company Warner Bros. Discovery, sparking anxiety in the newsroom.
Amanpour, known for interviewing heads of state and reporting from conflict zones, made no mention of the drama in a departure note, in which she said she’d stick around until next June.
“After many months of thought and a few sleepless nights, I have decided to separate from CNN, my partner of 43 fantastic years!” she said in a statement.
The 68-year-old journo added that she “looks forward to interesting new projects down the line, and will always be rooting for CNN and maintaining its history of independent journalism. Remember: always be truthful, not neutral.”
Media sources speculated that Amanpour was leaving due to philosophical differences with CNN’s new owner, Skydance CEO David Ellison.
She recently voiced “concern” over his purchase of WBD, pointing to CBS News Editor-in-Chief Bari Weiss’ efforts to shake up the network since Ellison installed her in the role with a mandate to bring greater balance last year.
“Clearly I’m concerned, and I’m not sure how much I’m allowed to say about the corporate thing that’s underway, but I am obviously as a person, as a journalist with a record concerned,” Amanpour said in May.

Her actions are an admission she’s a partisan, not a journalist.
“one of its most recognizable faces”
No mention of her talent or quality of work?
Bwahahahaha!!!!
A globalist shilling, played out, lie-o-crat.
Who even knew Christiane Amanpour was still on television?
Well....bye!
“Christiane Amanpour to exit CNN ....”
Stop the presses. Retire already, go away and shut up ...hag.
Helen Thomas Jr.
Bye, Bye, Christiane. Oh, don’t forget your Pal
Lesley Stahl, still at 60 minutes.
Maybe Lesley has threatened an Age Discrimination lawsuit if she is fired/ replaced/ laid off/ reassigned as features only. TV is a visual medium. Fair or not fair, looks are always taken under consideration.
Gumflapping jihadi bimbo
How to Smugly Retire ...
She is ground zero for the radical muz but she does a good job hiding it.
She doesn’t hide it when she does CNN International.
I first saw her in Israel in ‘99.
Full on Israel hatred.
I always thought she was an Al Jazeera plant.
Is she on a work visa, or is she a naturalized citizen?
Good riddance!
Let the twin towers fall upon her....
CNN’s ten views will be heartbroken!
