Bob Franken’s Farewell: “My Time Here Has Been Fraught By Meaning…”

By Brian 

Bob Franken‘s goodbye note to his CNN colleagues is a must-read:

  There’s this live shot I always wanted to do:

‘AND NOW FOR A REPORT ON WHAT THESE WASHINGTON DEVELOPMENTS MEAN, WE GO TO CNN’S BOB FRANKEN. BOB, WHAT DO THEY MEAN?’

‘NOTHING WOLF. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING’

As I depart ‘…the greatest political team in television,’ I wanted to make sure that I clearly stated that my time here has been fraught with meaning. FRAUGHT

It has meant friends, unbelievable shared experiences, friends, laughs, friends, frustrations, friends, exhaustion, friends, remarkable accomplishments.
 

Franken concludes by writing, “this has been a long run, but it’s just a warm-up. Which is my dopey way of saying I will simply be taking my act to another stage.”
