Popular News Anchor Isha Sesay Exits CNN, Cites Anti-trump Coverage As Reason







Popular Cable News Network reporter, Isha Sesay, has announced her exit from the organisation after spending 13 years.

Sesay broke the news on her Twitter handle, @IamIshaSesay on Wednesday, “it’s really happening, folks!! After more than a decade behind the desk with those three red letters… I HAVE LEFT CNN.”

Speaking on the reason for her exit in an interview with Whatweseeee, Sesay said, “It’s an exciting time for me — and a nerve-wracking one,” she says. “I’m writing a book about the Chibok girls, it’s being released in May 2019. It really speaks to where my head is at, currently — a lot more coverage about Africa, a lot more work on the continent, and a lot more focus on young girls. That’s what I’m about right now.”

She also revealed her frustration with Western media, which is focused on US President Trump, “it’s all so Trump-focused,” she explains. “He sucked all of the oxygen out of the room. The media is following that lead to the exclusion of almost everything else, in a meaningful way. For me, personally, it’s not what I want to spend all my time doing.”

“After a while, I want to do more coverage of the Ebola outbreak, of the elections in Liberia, or any number of things that are happening. I’m ready to take control of what I’m talking about,” Sesay added.

Lots of her followers have been reacting to the news of her exit, with many wishing her well in her future endeavours.

Sesay is a British born journalist of Sierra Leonean descent.

The issues she raised are as genuine as a new born baby. No journalist, black or white who left CNN under very unfavourable circumstances has anything good to say about it. All of them discover that after doing their masters' (US Govt) bidding. If anyone thinks the network has made it difficult for black people to work their for a long time, that might be a false flag. Do sport lovers who follow CNN sports remember one sports anchor named Matt Mckay? He left under the same circumstance like Isha and is doing well in FIFA media department.

So, to your tents African leaders.Start blowing your own trumpet. Wishing you well in your endeavour.

Much respect for her.

I have written CNN many times asking them to let Trump be.

The immigrants have messed up that country and Trump is trying his best to give the American Identity back to the legitimate citizens.

I support globalization and free trade and movement but people are just leaving their responsibilities and trooping into America to enjoy the sweat of the ingenuity of forefathers of America. Where was our own fore fathers when Americans were building their country?

I guess they were busy worshipping the Annunakis as most blacks are presently doing. After they want to move to a country which was built by sheer wisdom without waiting for God to come and give them daily bread.

Trump is doing great. Let everyone sit down and build their own corner of the planet for now.

You're a mo.ron who lives in Nigeria, and has no business commenting on issues beyond your intellectual width. Brain-washed, demented Christian. Trump stiffed contractors who worked for him, declared bankruptcy six times, keeps inciting his crowd of raving supporters, at every opportunity, to attack the media, calls Mexicans rapists, encourages immigration only from Europe, as an official policy, maintained a relationship with TWO women while his wife was pregnant, lies constantly on TV—about his crowd size, things Obama did to him, and praised neo-Nazi groups, calling them fine people, because he needs their support.

How is such a man an instrument of God? Why would you support a person plotting to take away the liberties of others? You're just being ignorant. And the id.iots who liked your post are just as ignorant as you.

She didn't cite anti-Trump repot age as her reason for leaving CNN. But that too much Trump reporting gives no room for other important news going on in Africa.

OP I failed to see where she stated that she left CNN because of anti-Trump reporting. She rather said that Trump sucks out all the oxygen in the room leaving no room for anything else and CNN continues reporting Trump news to the detriment of the areas she is covering which are African news.
I blame western news outlet for focusing on that no good man. No news about what's happening in Nigeria and other African countries. I don't know whether they report those on their CNN International or not.

As in ehn. It is too much. You just have to listen to CNN to understand how desperate and obsessed they are with getting rid of Trump. They have even gone beyond reporting the news and now giving their unsolicited opinion on almost everything trump, especially that Kate Boulder and that black guy on 7am news. 200 people can can die in Kabul they don't care because they are busy looking for ways to destroy trump. I didn't pay to be seeing such crap!

I forever respect Aljazeera, that's what international journalism should look like. CNN and Fox are an embarrassment to the world of media. There are way thousand more important things to report on than to focus on trump....
Aljazeera is very anti trump and anti-Isreal. Fox news was also anti Obama except Obama did not whine like baby unlike trump. What goes around comes around.

The only thing worse than a racist is a self-hating ignorant black man. You ask where your own forefathers were when Americans were building their country? A "country" stolen from native Americans who were murdered. The railways were built by Chinese (who were later excluded from immigrating to America in the "Chinese Exclusionary Act"wink. The country built on the back of slave labour.

Some of your forefathers were being shipped abroad as slaves. Others were trading with the British who gradually introduced unfair trading policies enforced by the force of their bullets. Compare Benin city at the time of the earliest Portuguese traveler-visitors to Benin city after the punitive expeditionary force of the British.

(in 1498, when the Portuguese landed on the shores of the Congo, the elders at the court of Ambasse where dressed in silks and brocades. This is at the time of the Renaissance. In the 15th century.) Belgium later looted the Congo.

What were your forefathers doing? They were busy being kind and accommodating to white-skinned strangers who took advantage of them and destabilized them by re-drawing borders that lumped human beings together according to capitalist designs. They were busy being destabilized through the intrusion of odd administrative practices that caused them to mis-recognize themselves.

Africa has been traumatized by the intrusion of the West in its history.

Grab a book and read about your history gaddamn it! Read CLR James.

In the 2nd Century, the Igbo were already working with brass.
