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.”
