Perhaps Jon Stewart can stroll over to Fox News next and clean house there.

In the past week, media critics across the country have had to face the fact that inches upon inches of fine prose -- filled with salient points and passion -- were no match for Stewart telling Tucker Carlson that he and "Crossfire" were hurting America.

Are you criticizing the decision to cancel Crossfire, or the article about the decision?

Did you read the article?  It is somewhat critical of CNN\'s decision.

First, it is an article with a strong left slant... "Stroll over to Fox..."

Secondly, it is an article to make the left feel good about themselves since they don\'t really have anything to feel good about post 11/2/04... unless you count the Boxer Rebellion Tear Fest Extravaganza that happened last week in Congress.

EDIT:  Klein is right about one thing Crossfire is irrelevant now - its ratings are terrible when compared to Fox\'s lineup.  Taking advice or denying defeat?  

Oh and I reset my weather machine to make it keep raining for another 4 months. ;)  Better start watching Waterworld to take notes.

It\'s amazing how you read "LEFT vs RIGHT" and "US vs THEM" concepts into everything that passes in front of you.  If you review it again, you\'ll find that the article was about CNN\'s proposed discarding of pundit argument shows and head-butting in favor of more genuine news reporting.  It also questioned their wisdom in doing so, when audiences seem to like these pudit shows.  

There was no mention in the article of this being an ideological victory for either side of this alleged Left/Right struggle you see everywhere.  It was simply an analysis of programming style on various cable news networks.  If you see a "strong left slant" in that article, then you\'ve seriously gone around the bend and over paranoia hill.

Paranoia is only a heightened state of awareness.

What\'s different from that show and something like the McLaughlin Group?  More mud slinging?

I like Bill O\'Reilly because he asks tough questions and doesn\'t care about being politically correct.  If Fox News did the same thing as CNN I wouldn\'t like it.

Errr, Can\'t we just take the general concept out of articles instead of reading into the politics? :\\

The article is about politics or didn\'t you pick that up?  Crossfire is a political show.

Bill O\'Reilly is a f**kin a$$hole...whenever he has a guest on his show, he never gives them time to answer his questions or rather he will answer the question for them...seems like this cat is never wrong and always states "well what i would is blah blah blah"....damn if you\'re gonna conduct a constuctive interview at least let your guest answer the question without your mightier than tho position....he is entertaining tho, i\'ll give you that....

I like O\'Reilly, but when he starts with his moral superiority crap, I just think back to the suit posted on The Smoking Gun - Bill O\'Reilly using a dildo.

And the assumption is what... that it\'s undoubtedly true?



clips- you\'re right, he is a ****ing asshole. But not for any of the dumb reasons you stated. He doesn\'t cut mics/guests off unless they\'re bullshitting. And that\'s good. Maybe you like some retard spewing their respective agenda without care for common sense or facts, but that might be why you don\'t have the #1 rated political talkshow in North America.

I actually hate O\'Reilly myself, he\'s too centrist, has too many liberal stances for my liking. But I felt the need to defend the one thing he does do right. And don\'t bother laughing at me labelling him too far left, if you don\'t see that he\'s really in the middle and not a neocon, then you\'re too far left to see straight.
