her show totally sucked. for someone who is supposed to be a quality journalist she asked really stupid questions. when the miners got rescued, i swear she asked them if they had been scared. well, duh, i wonder what their answer was going to be?

She's been on a downward spiral ever since she told Newt Gingrich's mom to tell her something "off the record" and then aired it. Pretty much destroyed her credibility for good right there.

It's okay just wisper in my ear.
 
She had it coming and yes her show sucked bad. Maybe her hubby could give her a job on his show maybe they coud do a show together on unemployed journalists or something?:D

While I don't wish unemployment on anyone, well, maybe a few politicians..... I have never seen the big deal with Connie Chung.
I love Newsnight, it is pretty much the only thing I watch on CNN anymore but if Connie was there...bye bye. Besides asking simplistic questions, she came off as so insincere. She was like a walking parody.

I didn't follow that link, but from what I understood, they cancelled her show, and told her that she could stay and be used in another position, but she declined. I wouldn't say that she was fired, just cancelled, and voluntarily left.

And that Gingrich fiasco damaged her credibility forever regardless...

That's how I understood it too. I wonder where she'll end up.

I blame her downfall on Maury :D

Povich's show deserves the dumpster treatment too...for a long time now.

Judy Woodruff should be fired too.
