Hey everyone - give CNN strokes

[Beth in VT]

for parting company with Tucker Carlson and wanting to alter the format of their news programming. CNN-US Pres. Jonathan Klein has concluded, "People screaming at each other adds a lot of heat but not much light."

This is a step in the right direction. There is a "contact us" link on their website.

1. CNN can stroke themselves

My apologies if this is rude. But they still have a long way to go. I'd rather have seen Novak get walking papers

2. i'm glad that tucker will be gone

but far more obnoxious right-wing bullies remain on cable. let's hope this is a start

3. Tucker has already got his own show. What does that have to . . .

do with his leaving. I thought it was because of his new show and spending more time on it? I didn't know he got fired. Did he get fired?

4. Sorry, no way

Read this from the CNN front page and explain to me why they should be "stroked":

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- President Bush officially won a second term in the White House after electoral votes from all 50 states were counted Thursday during a joint session of Congress.

The normally perfunctory ceremony of counting and certifying Electoral College votes was delayed for about four hours as Democrats unsuccessfully challenged Ohio's votes for Bush.

Bush received 286 electoral votes, 16 more than the 270 he needed to win re-election. Sen. John Kerry, a Massachusetts Democrat, received 251 votes. One Democratic elector cast a vote not for Kerry but for former Sen. John Edwards, his vice presidential running mate.

In the vice presidential race, Vice President Dick Cheney received 286 electoral votes and Edwards received 252.

Alleging widespread "irregularities" on Election Day, a group of Democrats in Congress objected earlier Thursday to the counting of Ohio's 20 electoral votes.

5. I know, they are still too far gone in my book, all I'm saying

is that this is a small step in the right direction and we should give them positive feedback.
