CNN Says It’s All Tuckered Out on Debate Programs. Rebuttal!

Shoutfest Crossfire, conservative pundit TUCKER CARLSON left the network last week and is in negotiations with rival MSNBC. A CNN exec told reporters his decision to drop Crossfire was influenced in part by Daily Show host Jon Stewart, who called Carlson and his liberal counterpart, Paul Begala, “partisan hacks” when he was on the show last fall. “It’s a half-hour show at 4:30,” says Carlson, who put in his resignation before Stewart’s comments. “To say we’re the problem with America is ludicrous.” Yeah. It’s prime time that’s really doing us in.
