Daryn Kagan Update…
U.S. News & World Report’s Paul Bedard catches up with Daryn Kagan…
It’s not easy to be rejected, but popular former CNN morning host Daryn Kagan has more than come to grips with it. For the first time, the 12-year CNN veteran tells Whispers that the cable network’s suits dropped her–and didn’t even tell her why.
“CNN came to me in January and told me they weren’t going to renew my contract,” she says. So how did she react to that classless act? She shrugged and said it was a sign to move on. “I never asked why. I just took it as a nudge from the universe that it’s time to go do this thing.”
This thing is her new website, a home for inspirational news that we’ll be previewing in next week’s magazine edition of Washington Whispers.
The Maha Rushy will see she’s forever gainfully employed. The babes over at FNC better fix their make-up because their replacement (DK) might come aknockin real soon.

I think it has been well publicized that Rush and Daryn went their seperate ways a while ago. Although, I wouldn’t be surprised if her former relationship with Rush factored into CNN’s decision. At the time they were dating the rumors coming out of CNN were that her contract wouldn’t be renewed because of her dating Rush.
I guess she should have ask the CNN bosses for a list of politically correct men she could date.

I have always liked Daryn Kagan. Even recently, when that other anchor was live from the toilet, it Daryn Kagan back on the air immediately following, trying to bring back what little dignity she could to the network. I wish her much luck and success on her new project. I will be online looking out for her.
