She was not my cup of tea and its a good thing that CNN ended her career of flippant anti-intellectualism. She was a very attractive woman who sometimes lacked the judgment, timing, self-control, maturity, personal finesse and intellect of all the other anchors on national television. She chose to act like a stereotypical bimbo instead of being the journalist she was capable of and, no, I will not miss her incessant giggling or her daily dumb act with Chad. The lesson to be learned here is acting intelligently gets you much farther in life then acting stupid and there is no better example of this then observing what happened to Carol Costello.

CNN finally raised their standards and she was demoted. Considering her lack of professionalism it shouldn't have been a surprise to anyone. Now she is not on as much and hopefully she will disappear completely.

Carol Costello is excellent. She is up to date, funny and professional. She is an excellent "balance" to Soledad who interrupts everyone and has an opinion on everything even if it isn't her area to cover. I would vote for Carol to REPLACE Soledad

Carol Costello provided me with a great start to my day! She is very down to earth - came across as not only confident but appeared to enjoy what she did. Carol's presentation was refreshing as she appeared involved in what she said. She was not the stoic/reserved/stuffy type...which wake-up time I didn't need to hear - hear that all the rest of the day. She & Chad were a great team - brought across a friendly atmosphere - with good comments/open reaction to things. Obviously some feel this was "unprofessional" - I, in fact, feel she is refreshing! I miss her - and certainly hope she is not buried somewhere with token spots.

I think Carol is very refreshing and in touch with America. I can't understand why CNN didn't see this from the word go. She has alot of insite and charm,which is a very good combo. She's very attractive in my book. Hope to see her on CNN for a very long time to come.

Carol by herself is doing her job of anchor very well. But when in the company of Soledad O'Brien she acts silly. One day these two super hyper personalities will clash to defend their turf, hoping to be the "leading lady". Carol seems to have a short fuse and Soledad is vain, too preocupied with herself. It shows, it really does.! CNN has too many women and not enough provocative shows. Anne Herring.

CAROL COSTELLO is AWESOME!!! It is so refreshing to have a REAL person presenting the news. Soledad has become unanimated and unfeeling, it is like watching a robot. I hope Carol never goes through The Change. An occasional smile and some humor is still acceptable during the news. It shows Carol is human, not a network created puppet.

Carol Costello has the potential for becoming an excellent anchor. Learning to slow down in speech and diction so that viewers can understand her as well as reporters in the field is a start in the right direction. Taking a quick short breath in-between sentences is helpful instead of running sentences together. Keeping her hair out of her eyes would enhance her credibility. Wearing jewelry and necklaces that will NOT get caught up in her hair would show some seriousness in the field of journalism will improve her credibility issues. If Mr. Klein is hinting at taking CNN in a more serious hard news network, Carol needs to professionalize her wardrobe while she in on camera, on air. Afterwards she can chage into whatever she chooses at her workstation at the New York broadcast center. Carol needs to get out there and do some segments away from the comfort of the studio and brush off some of that rust that is beginning to develop. All anchors need to do some in the field stories to enable them to stay fresh and make them better journalists. Mr. Klein needs to allow Carol to go overseas and/or search for stories for CNNUS to give her opportunities to expand her horizons in the quest for excellence in journalism. Talking to screens in a stuffy and lifeless studio set will never get the awards and recognition that those who get away from the daily grind of reading teleprompters and scripts to tell stories will achieve. Maybe Carol is not in her element, and maybe she should consider something along the lines of an entertainment reporter to cover the Emmys, Oscars, and other related reporting to be more compatible with her personality. Carol, please put in a request to do a story which will allow you to get out there and show your stuff and what you are REALLY capable of. I am sure that the networks headsheds would let you get out of that stuck-in-a-rut Daytime environment occasionally to do some substance material. Thank you.
