It’s becoming more and more common for women to keep their maiden names after getting married.
It’s not a given any more that the woman will change her last name.
My brother’s wife didn’t change her last name.

What major company doesn’t have periodic layoffs? Especially media companies? That’s no reason to never apply to work at one of them though….

Laughable to suggest that CNN is taking a “hard right turn.” It’s aiming to present the news in as politically unbiased a way as possible.
That’s not hard right. That’s trying to be politically neutral. The aim is to be factual and not take a partisan slant.
So no obvious liberal slant like MSNBC and no obvious right-wing slant like Fox News. Shouldn’t that be what people want???

Unlikely that she had any say in her departure. I don’t think they renewed her contract. She had a good run though — 10 years as an anchor and a few years as a correspondent before that.
Not sure what you mean about her leaving at the right time though.

Eh…
If she graduated high school in 1999 she’d be 41 now.
If in 1995, she’d be 44.
If in 1990, she’s be 50.
She could easily be a grandmother by now!

Kids have his last name. She’s not opposed to his name.
I think the reason she kept hers was because she already had had a career for a decade and was known by her name. Why change it? Keeping her last name doesn’t make her any less his wife or them any less a family.
Anecdotally, this is becoming way more common.
Some people do a hyphenated last name that combines both.
