Not sure if that was connected to her retirement, but I've never seen that happen before.

27. 10 Januaries Too Late

She's added nothing to the news watching experience is at least a decade.
She was an important pioneer at one time. She has been going through the motions for years.
She stopped being a reporter & became a non-value added talking head.
She is among the reasons I quit watching TV news, aside from local.

[Bev54]

29. Yay!!!! How about Jim Acosta?

[Ruby the Liberal]

30. Can Katy Tur go with her?

[lindysalsagal]

[LibinMo]

32. Reading this was a good way to start my day

I haven’t been able to stand her for years
