| CNN star makes shock announcement on-air as network braces for lay-offs |

| [Daily Mail, where America gets its news] CNN anchor Alisyn Camerota, 58, signed off from her final broadcast with the network on Sunday after more than a decade on air and just five months after she lost her husband to pancreatic cancer. In an emotional farewell, Camerota reflected on her remarkable journey with the channel which she said had included 'interviews with presidents, heroes, and extraordinary individuals'. Camerota said experiencing such moments while working for CNN had been the culmination of her lifelong dreams in journalism. 'The journalists at CNN are the very best in the business,' Camerota told viewers as she expressed her deep gratitude for the opportunities and camaraderie she experienced at the network. 'It's been an honor to be in your homes this past decade through some of the biggest stories of our lifetimes.' Camerota joined the network in 2014 after a 16-year stint at Fox News. She hosted its morning show for years alongside Chris Cuomo before moving to afternoons in 2021. After Warner Bros. Discovery took control of CNN, Camerota found herself in various positions at the network, including as the network's 11pm host before she became a political commentator and fill-in anchor with the network. Last month it was revealed how the ratings-challenged network is reportedly set for a major bloodbath with highest paid on-air talent at risk as part of wide-ranging layoffs. The cable network fell behind rivals MSNBC and Fox News during Election Night coverage. It was reported how the 'layoffs that will impact hundreds of employees across the organization,' according to Puck News. Earlier this year, CNN already laid off about 100 employees — or 3 percent of its workforce. Stars including Jake Tapper and Wolf Blitzer have reportedly been denied raises on their multi-million-dollar salaries as the biggest names on the network fear for their futures. On-screen favorite Chris Wallace also departed the network last month, although he insisted that he did so on his own terms. A longtime CNN employee told Fox News that after news of the layoffs spread, staff across the company are left feeling 'very sad and deeply frustrated.' 'Feelings which are pervasive throughout the organization among those who have been here a long time and feel a deep personal connection to having helped build the organization,' the anonymous staffer added.

| #8 I am sorry she lost her husband to cancer. She is too old for the infotainmemt business. When I saw in the FOX studios 10 years ago she had so much pancake makeup on it looked like stucco. Time to smell the roses. |

| #4 And I bet she was laughing (like those five hags on the View or whatever it's called) when Tucker got sacked/left Fox. Who has the last laugh now, you fake journalist? |
