the brink of exhaustion?

Well. I guess Hala finally gave.

After more than a month in Lebanon, wearing the same set of outfits, seems to have affected Ms. Gorani. Okay, the outfits are probably the last thing in her set of priorities, but still. The weight loss, the endless hours of coverage... I sincerely hope she's getting some much-needed rest.

Then I move on to more shallow ranting.

Questy anchoring in Atlanta and Hala's nowhere in sight. This is not good for one who yearns for the Hala-Richard days of BizNews. Please, CNN, throw some old-school fans a bone and put these two together. One hour, hour and a half, two hours, anything. They miss each other, I know it, and I for one miss them together.


After months of having to work while CNN is broadcast from London, I was confined to bed last week, and it's finally hit me that Andrea Sanke's gone. Gone! It sucks. She was a pretty good anchor, not my favorite (duh), but still a good one. I mean... I don't know. Losing Liz George was at least a gradual departure. Although that's a CNN departure I still haven't quite gotten over.
I take comfort that Robyn Curnow was on MainSail and is just pregnant. Yes, she's not the best anchor CNN's got, but she can make the most random news bit seem worthwhile. As a reporter.


And: so that's where Christiane Amanpour disappeared to a few months ago.

Come on, CNN. Hala-Questy on Your World Today. Come on.
