Radio guys not wanted on TV?

Isn’t that like bakers not being needed at the auto shop?

"Did they ever have any on?"

A long, long time ago, Wolfie Blitzer's mommy let him invite Rush over to play...I haven't watched CNN television in years, but I doubt if El Rushbo has been invited back.

This dopey decision by CNN is just more evidence that the left is in full panic mode as they see Obama's vaunted 'charisma' evaporate and the upcoming loss of the congressional power they craved for so long.

The leftist Democrats should be frightened. They made the stupid mistake of thinking that they had the media controlled and the votes in congress to pass anything, coupled with a president who they thought was the reincarnation of JFK (who was never that popular while president) and that America was just going to bow down and blindly go along with whatever bitter pill Obama and the Democrats served up. Surprise! This isn't Venezuela after all.

No Conservative talk radio hosts on CNN? Does that exclude Bill Bennett? All this does is really show how Fair and Balance the Fox News Network is in having both sides discuss the issues on virtually every opinion piece (most of CNN is leftist opinion disguised as news).

This returns CNN to the one-sided leftist socialist network that was not affectionately known as the Clintoon Notnews Network in the ‘90’s.

We will have to come up with a similar name that reflects the “Pravda-like” qualities of CNN now. Something like Communist Notnews Network.
