It wouldn't surprise me if she's wearing more than one hat at CNN.

I think he would have never agreed to work with her on this new morning show if they were not already friendly on a professional level.

So yeah, Kaitlin posted some dumb, ignorant, mean things on social media back in when she was sorority girl with zero gay friends or colleagues. So it goes with white sorority girls from Alabama who spent their lives in a bubble. Working in a big diverse organization - like CNN - makes one look back upon on their parochial ignorance with mortification and embarrassment.

People should get a chance to grow and make amends.

So she lied through her teeth while employed by the daily caller, but we’re supposed to view her as a trusted source for news now?

Does she even have any bylines at Caller still or were all stealth edited to "contributor" or some such? Quite a mop up job.

I’ve read about her early bad tweets but what is the lying daily caller story?

Pretty sure it's a requirement to lie if you want to work at the DailyCaller.

Before Kaitlin worked at CNN, she worked for the DailyCaller. It was her first job in DC.

She wrote a few fluff articles that were in bad taste:

She has been working hard the whole pandemic. Reporting from the frontlines at the White House when many of the experienced CNN reporters refused to. Kudos to her!!!

CNN moving away from talk show to more news shows. EVERY evening talk show on CNN cover red the exact same political issues! Redundant! Hoping they go more towards a news hour covering more areas. I suspect the morning show will be like network morning shows X little news, lots of celebrity coverage, cooking, etc. Boring.


Cnn and msnbc evening shows are redundant indeed. Same topics on the same evening. I stopped watching a few years ago and never looked back.

Never stumbles.


Tv journalists are not really super smart, esp when compared to the investigative journalists at ny times, etc.

Tv people mostly just report on others’ work/ap headlines half the time.

The only person I have deep respect for on tv is Clarissa Ward…fearless and relentless.

As horrible as this cnn show will be, I would watch it 1000 times before watching joe and Mika…barf!!!!

Is she engaged, married, or does she yet have children? This feels like a professional trap. She'll avoid getting pregnant for fear of losing the chair and before you know it you're mid 30s and still childless.

She’s 30? I guess she aged out of the wh correspondent role. Time to bring in the next round of 23yo hotties.
