In an interview in the March issue of Brill's Content, CNN Headline News anchor Lynne Russell described herself as 'committed to reporting the cold, hard factoids, no matter what the cost.' In the candid interview, Russell is quoted as saying, 'Americans eat 850 million pounds of cranberry sauce each Thanksgiving. You may not want to hear that, but it's an undeniable factoid, and I am going to report it.' Russell came under fire last year for a controversial report alleging that the average pair of shoes is worn for 14 months.
