The veteran journalist is leaving the network after 12 years as CBS faces a major makeover to its news programs.

O’Donnell, 51, said her main anchor position, which she held since 2019, was the “honor of a lifetime” in an emotional goodbye on Thursday night.

“It has been an incredible five and a half years,” O’Donnell said.

However, some viewers quickly blasted the anchor on her way out and accused her of being biased against President Donald Trump.

“Nora, seriously, you are not a journalist. You are a joke,” one X user wrote in response to a video of her sentimental farewell.

“CBS is unwatchable. So so biased. Very disappointing,” another slammed.

Another accused her of being “biased and mean.”

Other CBS viewers recalled the vice president debate, which was moderated by O’Donnell and Margaret Brennan, as a telling moment that O’Donnell was ready to leave the network.

“Norah O’Donnell is leaving the CBS Evening News after tonight’s broadcast,” one X user wrote on Thursday.

“Leave and don’t come back. You disgraced yourself during the VP debate.”

Another slammed, “So disappointed in Margaret since the debate! Along with Norah O’Donnell. Blatantly biased against Trump.”

O’Donnell and Brennan interrupted the debate on October 1 between JD Vance and Tim Walz to conduct a fact check, sparking an outcry after CBS had previously said there would be no mid-debate corrections.

Trump blasted the moderators as “extremely biased” and “liars” in a post on Truth Social at the time.
