CNN Cancels Crossfire

blonde rser writes "Three months after Jon Stewart appeared on (and lambasted) CNN's Crossfire the Globe and Mail reports that CNN is dumping Tucker Carlson. It appears that Crossfire is being canceled and Carlson's contract is not being renewed. As to whether Stewart's opinion had any affect on the decision there is this quote from Jonathan Klein, CEO of CNN's US network: 'I guess I come down more firmly in the Jon Stewart camp.'"

Later in the day Klein was herd coughing in the following way "*cou*cock*gh*munch*" as he walked past Carlson.

The show became a parade of human cartoons. Novak the duckman. Lord Voldecarville. Pat "Third Reich from the Sun" Buchanan. Let's leave this kind of thing to Warner Bros Daffy vs Bugs cartoons.

I'll be the first to say it...

but there isn't anybody I can think of that would do as good of a job as Stewart has done with the fake news.

I hear Dan Rather is available as of this spring.
