Former CNN anchor Bobbie Battista:

I guess this makes Battista the first ex-TV newsperson I know of to
use their real name at ONN (the male host of "Today Now!" is a former
TV guy, but uses an assumed name). As I posted recently, I have heard
that the Onion hires former TV people to be fake news anchors instead
of anchors. I look forward to the remains of Tim Russert playing
Clifford Banes.

Good for her. And this is good gig for her, since I could never take
her all that seriously at CNN, cause I never knew which way she was
looking. (Don't get me wrong; I generally liked her.)
