What's Happening At CNN reports rumors that Daryn Kagan has been passed over "for any and all promotion" due to her relationship with Rush Limbaugh.

TVNewser heard similar rumblings last week, and received this anonymous tip: "Daryn Kagan is very upset that because of her relationship with Rush she is being overlooked for any and all openings at CNN. Her current time slot is constantly being preempted by the O'Brien's on breaking news days. She is just gathering her paycheck now as she thinks she will not be there by the end of summer."

This afternoon a CNN spokesperson had no comment on the subject, offering the usual response: "We don't comment on gossip or personnel matters."

> Update: 5:10pm: Is Kagan's contract up in November?

> Update: 5:16pm: "I'm a CNNer and I can tell you that when she anchors her show, during commerical breaks, she AOL IM's with Rush from the set," a tipster says. "It's HIGHLY innappropriate, and I, for one, won't be sad to see her leave."

1. when you lay down pigs

you should expect to get some of their slop on you

[domlaw]

6. Hey she will

get a job quickly with Faux (Not) News. She will become, like the rest, just a cackling head. While she may get some enjoyment out of it now, history will not remember her and her ilk well.

And she has to sleep with a fat drug addict to get there.

2. She can spend the rest of her days with that fat assed drug

addict. I could give a shit more or less.

3. Ewwwwww....

Just the thought.....pass the Tums!

4. when she's gone, I'll give CNN another shot at my veiwership. can I

dare to hope that horrid early morning gal is gone too? Soledad Something?? she's just awful.

[Ilsa]

5. If Soledad leaves, I hope she takes Jeff Greenfield with her.

That rat-f*cker was slamming on Cindy and the anti-war movement this morning, as if Cmdr Bunnypants had been telling the truth.

[DesEtoiles]

12. Hey, I like Soledad - please don't tell me she's a freeper too

[ReaderSushi]

7. Yuck

Have to disagree on this one.
It's not right to cripple her professional life because of her personal life especially if it does not interfere with her job.
Lots of people communicate with their significant other during work hours. That's really reaching for an excuse.

10. I can tell you that when she anchors her show, during commerical breaks,

That's not "personal" when she does it from the set with a competing "news" outlet

[ReaderSushi]

14. You've never...

... spoken with a SO from work during a break? How does Rush qualify as news? If the only issue is the destination of emails then should every corporation start to monitor all messages of all employees on grounds of industrial espionage? This seems very selective.

[SeveneightyWhoa]

15. Reaching for an excuse?

An excuse to do what? That damn liberal media again, right?

[mrdmk]

17. Having worked in professional media, it is very unprofessional

to communicate to anybody other than the business at hand while on the set. That takes the cake and probably pissed-off a few directors and producers because you are not at the ready. That is why she being passed-up for promotion, a lack of interest in her work.

Now after leaving the set, in the hallway, sitting at your desk in the office, in the parking lot you can do what you want as long as it does not interfere with your work.

[Bumblebee]

8. That would be SO good if true. Cannot stand to listen to her or see her

[Gato Moteado]

9. does anyone know her aol screen name?

we could invite her to kleebsta's late nite DU chats so the DU youngsters can go medieval on her ass. hell, invite rush in there too. i'd love to watch the angry young DUers tear those fascists up!

[DesEtoiles]

11. This woman ***** Rush Limbaugh and she wants us to think she's objective?

[DesEtoiles]

13. She has been wearing bizarro "sally housewife" outfits-

bright yellow, with little red cherries on the collar

what's up with that? yuck

[saracat]

16. She is awful.

She used to be an anchor here inPhoenix and she was awful then! She interviews people with such contempt. She was hateful to Hillary Clinton.

[Ninga]

18. Let's get it straight right NOW, it's not love, it's the Benjamin's.
