Has CNN banned talk radio show hosts from its on air programming?
Such was reported by TVNewser a few hours ago (h/t Steve Malzberg):
Exclusive: TVNewser has learned, and a CNN spokesperson confirms, that in his morning editorial meeting today, CNN/U.S. president Jon Klein asked his show producers to avoid booking talk radio hosts

The reporter has it backwards. They are going to ban radio talk show hosts as guests and perhaps guest hosts. This was a meeting of producers, the guys who book guests.
They probably will continue to use radio talk show hosts as hosts because they can really talk a blue streak and make sense. They also pull in advertising better.
"Corporate-owned, right-wing news network silences women and minorities."
Only guys that look like Larry the Cable Guy are allowed to discuss the issues from the right. Then we will make fun of them in the next segment.
Shutting out opposing views is “un-American” unless they disagree with the regime
And I like Larry the cable guy!
Not yet...LETS ROLL!
So CNN is dropping the Rachel Maddow Show?
Just to make sure I don’t give them a ratings boost, I will block CNN and HLN from my selection list. While I am at it, so long MSNBC
Are they so weak that they can’t stand having conservative voices on their shows? Meanwhile, Fox is accused of bias. This is, in fact an attack on conservative freedom of speech.
Does this INCLUDE Al Franken?
Lou is not gonna like this....he always has them on his show
Let’s just eliminate truth and dialogue completely.
“the reincarnation of JFK (who was never that popular while president)”
To be perfectly blunt, getting his brains blown out was the most popular think JFK ever did.
Having barely one one of the tightest elections in history, but with hindsight being 20-20, it is hard to find anybody who will admit to having voted for Nixon over JFK.
The media was all over the Kennedys after the election. Kind of like today, except they were better dressed. The media created Camelot and the assassination made him a martyr.
The media has always loved the Kennedys far more than the public does. John Kennedy quite possibly would have been a one term president had he not been assassinated. His internal polling wasn't good, and he was at risk of losing Texas, which had not ever voted Republican in any presidential election. That said, they are an interesting bunch to study. It's kind of a combination of the Ewings from the series Dallas and the Sopranos.
“Translation: Conservatives shut the f up.”
....quit talkin’, get out of the way and let me clean their mess up.
Roughly excerpted from B. H. 0bama
Given the election practices in Texas, he would have never lost the election, unless Johnson and Connelly wanted him to.
No it doesn't include Bill Bennett either. They are only banning conservatives.
