>>Remember at one time CNN and MSNBC were actually on the conservative side ..
Way back in the day, one of CNN’s top newsreaders was a stunning redhead by the name of Lynne Russell. Lynne had a Private Investigator license and was a volunteer deputy sheriff. I think she actually moonlighted some doing PI work for the thrill factor. With her help, her husband shot and killed a guy who had forced her into their hotel room probably intent on raping and/or robbing her, when they were traveling cross country (!!).

As the article notes, she once showed up on Conan’s show wearing a pistol in a thigh holster.
She never wore her politics on her sleeve, but I think we can assume she’s a conservative.
I remember Russell. She was on CNN HLN. She had appeal.
