CNN Cancelling People In The News & Doubling Documentary Unit
http://www.mediabistro.com/tvnewser/

CNN is expanding its Documentary Unit, doubling the number of 'CNN Presents' specials, and ending 'People in the News.'

CNN/U.S. president Jon Klein wants more programs like "Dead Wrong" and "Warsaw Rising," and "he's moving resources to make it happen," the network says. The number of documentaries will double from 15 a year to 30.

"About half the staffers from People in the News will be re-assigned to CNN Presents -- with the other half moving to other CNN shows," the NYP's Michael Starr wrote today.

People in the News will end in September; There's no word yet on what will air in its time slot. What will this mean for Paula Zahn, who hosts PitN?

2. Paula Zahn should be fired.
She's awful. Maybe she has some embarassing photos of CNN execs she has "entertained" in the past.

3. she needs to get in line for sure
just like the government 95% of the media should be ousted or jailed

and also just like the government/corporatists they are far too comfortable with their incomes to do anything but become a stepford
