CNN Headline News: News Cancelled - We're Hiring Glenn Beck Instead!

D

dampier

In an ongoing retreat away from actually covering NEWS, the nation's cable "news" networks have strayed further and further from hard reporting, and instead dwell in the world of opinion.

In an effort to boost sagging ratings, Headline News has hired conservative talk show host Glenn Beck to host a one hour show on the channel. Curiously, although Headline News execs told TV Newser they would be building on the ratings momentum of Nancy Grace, the network said it did not yet have a time slot in mind for Beck's new program.

Beck currently hosts a national conservative radio talk show on 200 radio stations.

“Having tired of the predictable left-versus-right debates in cable news, I am eager to offer a different take for Headline News viewers,” Beck said. “I hope that people will come away from our show not only informed, but also entertained, in a way they’re not used to seeing on cable news.”
 
CNN Headline News has not had news for some time, just like its sibling CNN and all the other US cable "news" channels.<P ID="signature">______________

That's why we have our local news,weather,and sports to tide us over plus the evening news from ABC,NBC,and CBS. CNN Headline News has become a tabloid,gossip laden news program like the E! Network does. I remember when CNN Headline News had news 24/7 and Lynne Russell and she was a great anchorwoman and also Don Harrellson before he died.

Um.. There's still news on there... Between 2:30am and 6pm (CT). It's just "Headline Prime" where there's no news.

Again- let's try to outfox Fox! Since they have cornered the right wing market- we will invest tons in getting even more of the right wing market! yeah!

I can't wait to get al Jazeera this March.
