ICYMI| CNN can’t catch a break this year.
While this is the first event that I truly feel sympathy for, the network has been dropping talent left and right.
In the wee hours of last year we saw Fredo (Chris Cuomo), you may know him as the brother of disgraced, ‘handsy’, former NY Governor Andrew Cuomo got the boot for #MeToo accusations and his brothers role in the response to said allegations.
Ironically the CNN article about the firing which is linked above was written by Brain Seltzer, who got s*** canned by the network a few weeks ago. Seltzer had one of the worst shows which was viewed perhaps the least in network history.
I could go on and on, but this most recent story is much more sad.
The Gateway Pundit’s Christina Laila revealed:
CNN anchor Bernard Shaw passed away at the age of 82 on Wednesday.
Bernard Shaw died of pneumonia, his family announced.
“CNN’s beloved anchor and colleague, Bernard Shaw, passed away yesterday at the age of 82. Bernie was a CNN original and was our Washington Anchor when we launched on June 1st, 1980,” Chris Licht, CNN Chairman and CEO, said in a statement Thursday. “He was our lead anchor for the next twenty years from anchoring coverage of presidential elections to his iconic coverage of the First Gulf War live from Baghdad in 1991. Even after he left CNN, Bernie remained a close member of our CNN family providing our viewers with context about historic events as recently as last year. The condolences of all of us at CNN go out to his wife Linda and his children.”

CNN reported:
Former CNN anchor Bernard Shaw died Wednesday of pneumonia unrelated to Covid-19, Shaw’s family announced in a statement Thursday. Shaw was 82.
Shaw was CNN’s first chief anchor and was with the network when it launched on June 1, 1980. He retired from CNN after more than 20 years on February 28, 2001.
During his storied career, Shaw reported on some of the biggest stories of that time — including the student revolt in Tiananmen Square in May 1989, the First Gulf war live from Baghdad in 1991, and the 2000 presidential election.
“In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to the Bernard Shaw Scholarship Fund at the University of Chicago. The Shaw family requests complete privacy at this time,” the family said in their statement provided by former CNN CEO Tom Johnson.
In a statement, Johnson said Shaw “exemplified excellence in his life” and will be “remembered as a fierce advocate of responsible journalism.”
Please join us in praying for the Shaw family as they grieve the loss of their loved one.
