Candy Crowley exits CNN
[USA Today] Candy Crowley is exiting CNN after a 27-year run.Run? Candy Crowley can run ? Sure she can. Follow the slime trail... Network chief Jeff Zucker announced the news Friday in a staff memo that called her a "television icon" and read, in part: "Candy has let us know that she has made the decision to move on, so she can embark on the next chapter of her already prolific career." Yea right, her decision of course. More time with the family, food bank, guest lecturing, that sort of thing. Crowley, 65, joined CNN in 1987, and has been chief political correspondent and host of State of the Union, its Sunday morning public-affairs show. She has covered several presidential campaigns and moderated a town-hall debate between The Champ and Mitt Romney during the 2012 campaign. After which she should have been immediately fired. As I said above, follow the slime trail... The move comes amid buyouts and layoffs at Time Warner that have affected about 300 CNN employees. No word on the hostile takeover by an Atlanta parking lot consortium ? No word on her successor. But two canteens have closed, 5 vending machines have been recalled, and CNN elevator buttons have grown smiley faces. Posted by: Besoeker 2014-12-07 |
