While CNN may want to honor Anthony, A complete season is a way to make money off of him. IMHO. An hour or two special would have been a more tactful way to do that.

CNN paid for the season and probably already sold advertising spots for the show. I doubt this is about anything other than the money and they don’t really have much money to play with so this farewell is necessary.

Word is, his ratings had a quick plummet but then briefly snapped back before leveling out....

You know they were secretly rooting for Bernie Shaw to take a rocket up the wazoo in Baghdad.

I was rooting for Peter Arnett to buy the camel.
