TV Personality

The Resume

    (October 11, 1961- )
    Born in Minerva, Ohio
    Host of 'CNN Newsroom' (starting 2012)
    Has also worked on 'CNN Headline News,' 'CNN Daybreak,' 'The Situation Room,' and 'American Morning.'

Why she might be annoying:

    She is a liberal hypocrite.
    Her trademark is a set of large, outlandish Katie Couric-style glasses, likely meant to suggest intellectualism.
    She has big teeth.
    She laughs at her own jokes.
    She has allegedly had multiple facelifts.
    She bitched about the city of Atlanta's response to a 2014 snowstorm because she had to sit in traffic, scolding officials about it on live television.
    She was part of CNN's obsessive media coverage of the disappearance of Flight MH370.
    She claimed that Michelle Obama 'signed into law' legislation for her healthy school lunch initiative, but the First Lady holds no such power.
    She gushed over audio of Bristol Palin describing her assault by a man to police, calling it 'quite possibly the best minute and a half of audio we've ever come across,' because it contained expletives (which she referred to as her 'favorite part').
    She claimed to 'want to throw up' over a segment of Fox & Friends joking about Janay Rice (Palmer), but had no issue doing the same thing about an assault victim she disagrees with.
    She delivered a half-assed apology in the form of a written statement to Politico.
    She was asked to do an in-person, on-air apology but she refused.
    She and CNN also refused to apologize to Bristol or to any member of the Palin family.

Why she might not be annoying:

    She would be a perfect date for Martin Bashir .
    She has done in-depth reporting on bullying (apparently learning the wrong lessons from it).
    She was part of CNN's Peabody-winning coverage of Hurricane Katrina.
    She evidently hates swearing and profanity.
    She was outspoken about the NFL's covering up various domestic violence scandals.
    She was a victim of 'apple picking' when her iphone was swiped out of her hands and stolen in the streets.
    She earned a BA in Journalism from Kent State University.
