As a few other diaries have already pointed out, CNN is letting Tucker Carlson go. According to this
AP Television story, they're letting Crossfire go too:
CNN will probably fold "Crossfire" into its other programming, perhaps as an occasional segment on the daytime show "Inside Politics," said Jonathan Klein, who was appointed in late November as chief executive of CNN's U.S. network.
...
[Carlson, t]he bow-tied wearing conservative pundit got into a public tussle last fall with comic Jon Stewart, who has been critical of cable political programs that devolve into shoutfests.
"I guess I come down more firmly in the Jon Stewart camp," Klein told The Associated Press.
He said all of the cable networks, including CNN, have overdosed on programming devoted to arguing over issues. Klein said he wants more substantive programming that is still compelling.
Now that's good news. CNN has decided to grow up and treat politics as a serious issue. Too bad they couldn't have done it before the election... and let's hope it holds until the next one.
