CNN Anchor Alisyn Camerota Reveals Why She Left Fox News

CNN anchor Alisyn Camerota turned to Facebook Tuesday afternoon to answer the one question she gets the most during a question and answer session.

"Now to the question, that is most popular on my Twitter feed or Facebook," she said. "The question that I get everyday, all the time — the question is why did you leave Fox? And some people say, 'When are you coming back?' And some people say, 'How dare you?' And some people say, 'How could you have gone to the dark side?'"

Camerota said she was "happy to have an opportunity" to finally address the question.

"I left Fox for more opportunity," she said. "And CNN has exceeded my wildest dreams on that front. I didn't know that I would have all this opportunity when I came here to CNN."

"In the eight months that I have been at CNN, I've had more opportunity than I had at the eight years prior," Camerota added, noting she has been able to anchor primetime specials and documentaries, in addition to other opportunities.

Camerota added that going back to Fox does not appear to be "in the cards."
