These must be great days to work at Fox News. Not only does the 24-hour cable channel beat rival CNN like a sick, sad mule, but Roger Ailes is so deep in the heads of CNN's managers that every time they stumble over themselves in chaos -- which is often -- the chairman of Fox News looks like some kind of psyops genius.
If Ailes -- boo! -- isn't haunting the halls of CNN and driving CNN President Jonathan Klein batty with paranoia, then how else to explain Klein's relentlessly nonsensical decisions, which are driving CNN into the ground? What person rooted in reality looks at CNN and thinks, "Now there's a network on the rise"?
Well, apparently there's one person -- Klein.

"I also think Wolf Blitzer is pretty cool. What kind of name is Wolf, by the way?"
It's German and there's NOTHING about Herr Blitzer that's cool.
Signed up last month, I see. H-m-m.
It amazes me to see moonbats whining that CNN and the NYT are "shills" for the right. I wonder if any of them honestly believe that.
good article. Loved the part about Bennett. Dont know who Beck is but I like Watts. I suspected FNC was going to ditch Bennett. The only show I ever saw him on was H&C. Brit Hume never allowed him on his show. CNN is a good place for him in that he is a McCain supporter.

Circulation at the Chronicle is falling faster than a stone and they actually have the nerve to publish this slop. If Tim Goodman and the Chronicle staff are so good, why don't they fix their own newspaper. They need to put up or shut up. Hypocrites!
if only CNN were true to their liberal idealogy they would recapture their old luster......not.
I told my wife that the Batillion would then attend a Cotillion.
Wolf Blitzer (born March 22, 1948) is an American journalist and author. He has been a CNN reporter since 1990, and is known for his straightforward "hard news" reporting style. Blitzer is currently the host of the newscast The Situation Room and the Sunday talk show Late Edition with Wolf Blitzer. Blitzer previously hosted Wolf Blitzer Reports, which was replaced by The Situation Room.
Blitzer, whose first name was his maternal grandfather's name, [1] grew up in Buffalo, New York, the son of Jewish Holocaust refugees from Poland. He received a B.A. degree in history from State University of New York at Buffalo in 1970 and an M.A. degree in international relations from the Johns Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studies in 1972.
His career in journalism began in 1972, in the Tel Aviv bureau of the Reuters news agency. He soon moved to Washington, D.C., where he was White House correspondent for The Jerusalem Post after a spell working for AIPAC. In 1990 he was hired by CNN as a military-affairs reporter. His team's coverage of the first Gulf War in Kuwait won a CableACE Award and made him a household name. He became CNN's White House correspondent and later co-anchored the daily show The World Today. His coverage of the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing earned him an Emmy Award.
Pups, cubs, same thing. Although it seems odd that Wolfie was a pup reporter at one time:) I think I'll write a complaint to Webster's Dictionary.
Thanks for sending Wolf's CV. At this time however, I am only hiring smiling, blue eyed blondes with JD degrees..(sigh)
Sigh, I had a thing for Soledad O'Brien when she hosted the geek show "The Site" for MSNBC in the 90's. But then she revealed herself to be a barking Leftist moonbat just like all the others. Another illusion crushed.
CNN is less than useless but FOX seems to be sliding that way. The worst example is little Sheppy Smith having his shrill mini fits. Jane Skinner is so much better when she has been on lately.
It depends on your perspective. They seem like shills for the right because they are so extremely to the left.
As FOX likes to put it 'We report ... You decide'. A refreshing breath of fresh air in todays stuffy with self importance liberal MSM.
They just have such a wierd view of the world.
