CNN anchorwoman Frederika Whitfield

A lot of people can't think of one reason to watch CNN thee days. I can not only offer a reason to watch CNN, but it's also a reason to watch it on weekends. Her name is Frederika Whitfield.

:-)


A former NBC correspondent who was based in that network's Atlanta bureau, Frederika Whitfield now anchors the weekend edition of "CNN Newsroom." She got her start in broadcast journalism as a reporter and anchor for WPLG-TV in Miami and general assignment reporter at KTVT-TV in Dallas, among other stations.


Fun fact: She's the daughter of Olympic track star Mal Whitfield, who won two gold medals at the 1948 London Games and a third at Helsinki in 1952. Frederika Whitfield, appropriately enough, covered the 1996 Olympics in her adopted hometown of Atlanta for NBC.

I do not care how good looking she is -- there is no excuse for her comment "it sucks" during the 9/17/11 Saturday news room on 9/17/11. Middle of the day when families have the show on. Those words should not come out of the mouth of any professional, or otherwise. Awful.

That's news to me. I didn't have CNN on today (9/17/11).

I believe she brings a refreshing and stunning appeal to the often boring cable news channels. Furthermore, you can't deny her beauty. St. Louis, Mo
