Whispering at the Watercooler
This from an e-mailer: "It is being whispered at CNN/Atlanta that Daryn Kagan has been passed over for any and all promotion due to her relationship with Limbaugh. If she has a job at the end of the year at CNN it will be a miracle. Bosses are not happy with her boyfriend and his daily bashing of the network."
UPDATE: This from another e-mailer: "The truth iS that she HAS NO PROMOTION OFFERS! The RUMOR IS that she may marry Rush and her time will be devoted to "other things", i.e., less airtime."
Additional: Here's another e-mail: "Kagan does have a soft back stop with her rich boyfriend. But she is not ready to start popping out Rush babies yet. She is being gently shown the door. Too bad. She is a fixture at CNN. We will miss her here."
MORE 8/12 1:08pm ET This from another CNN'er: "Jim Walton has never been partial to Daryn and since you can see where CNN has gone under his direction, I'd say it's pretty clear that he's flat wrong about her. Daryn could be someone that helps brings us out of the current situation we're in."
Additional 8/15 Here's another observation from an e-mailer: "While some people may say outloud that dating Rush is NOT the reason, it is clear to everyone looking that in the last year Daryn Kagan has had disminished responsiblities. She never fills in in NY anymore. She gets shoved off with breaking news. She has not interviewed anyone of importance for over a year. She is a bright star at CNN and she is not being utilized at all. There is no other reason then her relationship with Limbaugh."
