Daryn Kagan's (Rush's ex-squeeze) gone to the dogs

Daryn Kagan's Soft Landing From the Hard-News World



Daryn Kagan, the longtime news anchor who left CNN last fall when the network didn't renew her contract, has remade herself like a phoenix rising from the ashes. In this, she is much like Henry, the three-legged cat who "turned tragedy to triumph," and whose story she tells along with many others on her new Web site.

(snip)

After years spent presiding over the world's tragedies, Kagan now brings news from over the rainbow, tapping America's love for hero dogs and spunky grannies. On television, these tales are usually shoved to the end of the newscast, but on DarynKagan.com (tagline: "Show the world what's possible!"), it's all dogs-'n'-grannies, all the time.

Kagan, 44, says that when she found out CNN/U.S. President Jon Klein wouldn't be renewing her contract after 12 years, she took it as a sign.

"Sitting in that office, it felt like someone else speaking through Jon Klein, just saying it was really time," Kagan says from her home in Atlanta, which also serves as her studio. For a few months, "I had my sad," she says, employing one of several unique phrasings her friends call D.A.K.-isms, for her initials. But she had always been "spiritual," and she came up with the idea of starting this Web site. She also decided to hold a nurturing weekend she calls "Soulspa," and that "helped me out of my sad."

(snip)

Kagan won't talk about her old flame, Rush Limbaugh, from whom she parted ways last year. "I don't discuss Rush," she says. But she is eager to share the "freaky amount" of good things that have happened to her since she started her Web site.

:puke: :puke: :puke:

Hey, I wouldn't want to discuss having been limbaugh's "squeeze," either, if I were her. I'd just be hoping like hell that everybody'd eventually forget.

Sounds like DK is in a better place.

eom

and wish her all the best in her quest to find her way out of her pathetic.

Damn, that made me laugh.

Maybe I can hold a weekend I can call "SoulToiletBowl." :puke:

:evilgrin:

WOW.

:puke:

at her job. Frequent giggly text messaging during advertisement breaks.

Didn't know that she and rush brokeup.

*shiver at the image*

to give her a shred of defense, compared to the shrill right wing hacks who now pass themselves off as on line journalists, though she obviously was wrapped up in her personal life with that crap, relative to the current norm she filtered most of it out of her professional work. I am not saying that she was perfectly objective by any means, but compared to the norm nowadays, and considering who she was, ahem, associating with, Kagan kept most, not all, but most of that off the air.

Personally she was to the right of her on air personna, and Walter Cronkite was always more liberal than he was able to show on the air. When I look at jerks like Glenn Beck, I grudingly give Kagen a shred of credit for at least having some clue about what her role as a news anchor was supposed to be.

of 'relativity' (i.e., relative to other CNN personas...)

required...

GOD fired her! lmfao

A)
You can be one of the most recognizable faces in America,
working for one of the highest profile news organizations in the world,
making huge, huge dollars.

or

B)
You can be talking about dogs and grannies,
from your spare bedroom,
making, essentially, no money at all.


It would seem like an easy choice, except that to get the fame and fortune of choice A, you gotta bang Rush.

Whatcha gonna do?


(It's an important question, because in the larger sense, that's the question each of the media whores has to ask themselves every day they choose to work for a right-wing media corporation and all that has come to entail.)

Couldn't have happened to a more deserving Repuke-media shill...

By the way, check out the comments on the article. Hysterical stuff.

Didn't she go to the dogs when she started dating that fat-ass drugged up racist bastard Rush?

Sounds pretty much identical in content . . .

:evilgrin:

her COBRA payments? or car payments?

Maybe she did get a "settlement" from Limbaugh (for not talking)..

I just don;t see a 44 yr old person "retiring" to their little "website"..especially when it was obviously not soemthing she had planned..

If I had a nickel for every 'loser grasps at straws' story from the RW, I'd be richer than Bill Gates. :eyes:
