    Could this mean something big for Nicole
    Lipan and others at CNN.com. CNN also
    needs to drop Rick Sanchez, Lou Dobbs
    and Campbell Brown.

    Letting Veronica leave? I think this was a bad idea. She's groundbreaking in new media with her facebook and twitter efforts, and her self-edited pieces with the Flip cam on the streets. Love her efforts. CNN should have fostered them, not nipped them in the bud.

    I'm sure they will look back on this as a mistake. Ever since '03 on Pipeline, she is where media is going in the future, and CNN just took a step backward with this decision

    Last poster is right on the money. Letting Veronica go is silly. She stands out among a bunch of zzzzzzzzzzzzz....... Maybe that's the problem - she took focus from Collins, Chetry and the rest of the snooze patrol. I'm not worried about her, I'm worried about CNN.
