#1 Her departure may give a new boost to recent speculation that the network’s news-side employees have grown frustrated during a period when its opinion hosts have largely used their programs to lend support to President Donald Trump and his administration, sometimes criticizing news reports.

Variety seizes the opportunity to mention their beloved Shep and blame Trump for career changes.

#2 Always liked her. Were I less leary of wishful thinking, I might almost suspect her of cannily timing the turn of the tide, investigative journalism-wise. Almost.

#3 Going for the big bucks and easy job - she'll only have to do investigative reporting on Republicans, now.

#5 Likely filed her last coup plot report. At CBS will be required to report on Trump awarding dogs medals Photoshop outrages.

#6 She made an interesting comment that CBS is interested in facts. We know that is pretty much crap but I believe it was not praise of CBS but a dig at what Fox news has become after the kids took over. Always liked her appearances on Tucker. We'll see how she reports going forward. Can't blame her for soaking CBS for mucho dinero.

#7 This is all about money, not politics.

Trump been berry berry good to me, say the suits and shareholders at NYT and the corporate parents of the cable outlets and broadcast networks.

Two Minutes' Hate-- actually, Nonstop 24/7 Hate of Any and All Things Trumpian -- is a formula for reversing the death of media.

During the Russia hoax, some of these profit-seeking entities were rolling in $$$$$. Post-Mueller, their ratings and ad $ fell off a cliff.

Hence the perpetual hoax, Russiagate 2, the Ukrainian Projection away from Chalupa and Burisma Bros and Hillary and Biden's Shitshows onto Trump.

Follow the money. These people aren't journalists.

They're whores who put on circus paint and perform in the burlesque tent at The Shitshow.

#8 She is a solid reporter. I wish her well and I hope they don't compromise her. She will bring integrity to that newsroom.

#9 ^ If she went to CBS, she is already compromised.

#11 She hasn’t had a contract since August. I always thought her to be a no BS reporter with an exceptionally large Rolodex. Wishing her all the best.
