Is Crossfire really canceled? If so...Why?

[Auntie Bush]

I also heard Capitol Gang was canceled. If so...Why? :shrug:

[kerry-is-my-prez]

1. Because the lefties always beat up on the right-wingers on there....

Carville and Begala could not be beat.

2. CNN agreed with Jon Stewart - partisan hacks arguing is worthless.

CNN said it wanted to be more news centered and less partisan opinion shoutfests.

3. why?

ask Jon Stewert! (p.s. it sucked sucked sucked sucked)

4. The GOP take over is all but complete.

They run everything there is no debate.

By 2006 they will be filibuster proof and eventually they will be the 'Super Majority' where they have 2/3 majority.

6. I'm with you. First it was Maher ...now Capital Gang after what 20 years?

I cannot believe that. But you cannot have your pundits speaking and answering questions when your President doesn't. There would be a disconnect in message.

Now the control is complete.

8. Did you actually think "Crossfire" was about debate?

It hasn't been for years. Just a bunch of partisan shills yelling at each other.

[JI7]

5. because it's a crappy show with low ratings

just as capitol gang is

[SoCalDem]

7. Actually, I do not mind one bit

Both of those shows were little more than "talking points" recitation, regardless of the "questions" asked or the issues raised..

The pattern was nauseating.. Screaming heads...and ugly ones at that :)

[Lefty_the_Right]

9. They have been trying to give it a slow death

Cutting it to half an hour, and moving it to from the top of the hour to 1:30 was an obvious sign they were trying to kill it.

10. One way to get Novacula off the tv?

:shrug:

[Auntie Bush]

12. Actually that is what I thought...but hadn't heard.

When the Plame indictment hits the fan...they don't want to have a sleezebag traitor on their network. Instead of getting the wrath of the Conservatives for firing him...they get rid of his programs.

[SoCalDem]

13. and more time for important stuff like .."People in the News"

Stay tuned for indepth reporting on Johnny Depp's haircut, Lindsay Lohan's Lunch Dilemma, Nascar Happenings, and Fashion, fashion, fashion:)

11. Because they're a bunch of partisan hacks? Just a thought...

[BrooklineT]

14. It's still on every day

[RetroLounge]

15. Because Tucker is a dick and Novak is treasonous scum?

:shrug:
