THE SUNDAY CONVERSATION: DARYN KAGAN

Positive stories? It's news to her

By Matea Gold, Times Staff Writer

"My slippers are definitely getting more wear than they did," said Daryn Kagan, the former CNN anchor who left the cable network this fall to start darynkagan.com, "an inspirational online community" aimed at showcasing "stories that make your heart go ZING!" ... ....

Where did you first get this idea?

These were always the type of stories that made my heart sing, and I think different versions of it were in the back of my head. And then in January, CNN came to me and told me that after 12 years, they were not going to renew my contract. I never asked why. I just took it as a sign that, you know what, that thing that's been sticking in the back of your head, it's time to go do that.

After being there for so long, were you sad to leave?

I had my sad for a few months. But there comes a time when it's time to put the sad away and get going. ....

Why do you think this idea has drawn some mockery?

I think, not to knock the mainstream media, but there is a sense of, you know, "How we do it is the only way to do it," and that's just wrong. ....

How is it that you have been able to maintain a sense of optimism after working in an industry that is filled with a lot of cynicism?

I think even beyond being a news person, we all have a life view — the world is a good place, the world is a bad place. We all run around gathering stories to support whatever view we have about life. And I've just come to develop this view that I'm looking for the positive, so that's what I stress and that's what I look for. And it's amazing that when you do that, that's what comes into your life.

Has that always been your attitude?

I've definitely become a more spiritual person in the last few years — not any particular religion, but just looking for greater meaning and powers outside of ourselves. That's also something that's never talked about in the secular media…. In a regular newsroom, you do not do a story that mentions God, unless it's something horrendous, like a priest molesting a little boy. ....

"I had my sad..." "Put the sad away..." :dunce:

Daryn, what's sad is your command of English and your taste in men. :eyes:

I know this is snotty, but I just have to point out the obvious.

DK claims that she has become more spiritual in the past few years--and that she
is "just looking for greater meaning". She's tired of "cynicism" and wants to
start a news site that is more positive and optimistic.

How can someone who aspires to "deeper meaning" and all things positive be
Rush Limbaugh's girlfriend for more than a year? Granted, they are no longer together.
They recently broke up. However, the gutter-level depths you would have to sink,
to date RUSH LIMBAUGH--is off the charts. You'd have to set your soul aside.

I am baffled by her ironic statements. Someone who claims to be oh-so spiritual
and entrenched in Zen---cannot be someone who is romantically involved with the
world's biggest hate-mongering, bullying, drug addicted propagandist--who spends
15 hours a day--lying, distorting, and catalyzing hate.

Really. Bizarre.

For one to appreciate limbaugh one has to be incredibly shallow with no concern for morality, truth, emotional attachment or hygiene. He is a nasty, vile human being who knows he has to be that way because he could not make a living anyother way. And he has to buy friends because he has none. No one loves him or cares for him. He is a lonely pathetic buffoon. Now is that deep enough for you Daryn?

that would certainly boost the ratings and certainly make my heart sing.

That's my guess.

She could showcase stories that make your tummy go :puke:.
