CNN also caving to RW. Glenn Beck has hour interview Friday.

It's on the Piers Morgan show, but he will be interviewed by SE Cupp. Here we go again, just like the lead-up to the Iraq invasion. Right wing slant on political shows is getting very obvious.

CNN Throws In the Towel as it Schedules Hour-Long Glenn Beck Interview

Well, it was nice knowing you, CNN. For over 30 years, you have been known as a 24-hour cable news network. You were the first of your kind, created from Ted Turner’s vision. And much like MTV is no longer Music Television, we can shut the door on you being a news network. For this coming Friday, CNN decides to join Fox News and go directly into becoming a conservative entertainment media outlet.

This Friday, on Piers Morgan Live, Glenn Beck will be interviewed for a full hour. And, it won’t be by Morgan. No. Instead, he will be interviewed by SE Cupp, one of the rotating hosts of Crossfire. Cupp also happens to be a contributing writer to The Blaze, which is a ‘news’ website that happens to be owned by none other than Beck. Therefore, Cupp will get a chance to interview her boss. I am sure this will be a hard-hitting affair full of tough questions and Cupp really challenging Beck on his views.

At least on their Dish network. It may have been a teaser to get people signed up (I thought was subscription only) but I was there. I just ran across it scrolling through the channels.

I never knew it was there. Wish I still didn't know it was there. I can't tell if it is subscription because I get most of the channels. I guess I never noticed because it's not in HD.

Now I am going to pretend I didn't notice.

Wonder if Beck owns the website as well?

I think the registration is $13/month and he has about 3 million suckers signed up. Not positive about those numbers but it something like that. Less the expenses he is still raking it in. Only Rush makes more than him which makes it doubly sad.

fired the shit out of that greasy assclown Glenn Beck?

As with all of the pieces of the once great Turner empire, once Ted let go of it it turned to a hot bucket of shit. See also: WCW Wrestling, The Altanta Braves, TnT network, TBS, etc etc.

Except Jane Fonda. She seems to be doing better without Ted.
