IMO, Tony Harris is the worst CNN anchor. He constantly inserts his opinion into the "news"
and has no clue about what's going on. The business news lady had to tell him that the Dow Jones Industrial average has 30 stocks in the index and the S&P 500 has 500 stocks. His questions to guest "experts" are childish and his manner of announcing is better suited for "Access Hollywood" or one of those junk programs. Our doctor's office keeps CNN and Fox on and won't give out the remote.

1. Isn't he horrible?
I am always dumbfounded about how dumbfounded he is. Access Hollywood sounds like a decent fit, but I think an infomercial for OxyClean might be more fitting.

2. Yea, he's constantly telegraphing
his "opinion". And sometimes he plays stupid, which is not appealing. Or maybe he is just stupid.

3. He used to be Entertainment Tonight reporter, BTW...
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tony_Harris_(journalist)

Harris entered broadcasting as a nineteen-year-old radio disc jockey in his hometown of Baltimore, Maryland. Two years later, he moved to television as a features reporter for an afternoon newsmagazine in Cleveland, Ohio. He rose to co-host.

Moving to New York City, he worked as an entertainment reporter for Entertainment Tonight and the Home Box Office. He returned to Cleveland in the early 1990s as a weekend news anchor, then again to New York, and Los Angeles, as a reporter for the Fox Network prime time newsmagazine Front Page.

4. John King is right up there, too.
I was so glad Anderson Cooper was back last night.
