CNN Klein Fires Shots Across Faux Greta Van Sustern Bows

The Holloway story has been less prevalent - though not absent - on CNN. In early July, Mr. Klein pulled CNN's correspondent out of Aruba and dropped the subject from most CNN shows in the absence of new developments.

"It's easy and it's brainless," Mr. Klein said in a telephone interview, explaining why cable news outlets have gravitated to it. "They're looking for an ongoing drama" along the lines of the NBC crime show "Law & Order," he said, adding "Except 'Law & Order' doesn't do the same plot every night."

Mr. Klein said that the audience that sought out news all day on the Internet was not clamoring for a rehash of the Holloway case every night. Besides, Mr. Klein said, there has been ample other news to cover.

He said that on the day earlier this month when 14 marines were killed in a roadside bombing in Iraq, Ms. Van Susteren, who was in Aruba that night, stuck with the Holloway case. "Fourteen Americans dead, and they have Natalee Holloway on," Mr. Klein said. "And they're supposedly America's news channel."

Wonder how Klein counts Larry King who makes a fat living off these cases?

4. Interesting ~

Wasn't it Mr. Klein who said a few months ago that the reason CNN was leaning to the right was because Liberals didn't scream loud enough? I remember emailing him what I thought of that inane remark coming from the head of a so-called News organization.

Maybe liberals, rather than scream, simply and silently tuned out, I know I did, and he's beginning to feel their absence where it hurts, financially.

Interesting that he mentions people going to the Internet for news. If I want tabloid news I can go to Fox. Why would anyone watch Fox lite when the real thing is available? Could it be that his brain is beginning to function?

The ratings for 'Dead Wrong' this coming weekend would be interesting to watch. If they would cover real news, their ratings would be through the roof! Hopefully, the fact that all those 'liberals' have turned off their tvs, cancelled their cable subscriptions, will wake up other networks as well.

5. I dont need a pissing contest with FOX, Mr. Klein- I just need news.

Get off your high horse and fucking just report it.

Following up with Admin interviews/investigations concerning your recent intelligence failure show would be a great start.
