But this is how it works, anything west of Appalachia is "out there" and of little concern to the media consigliere.

I'm originally from Northeast Ohio. Indians, Browns, Cavs, etc. When Lebron was in Cleveland they got some coverage on national sports reports (ESPN, FOX, CNN, etc.) But really no sports team, minus maybe the Cubs get any coverage. It is all NYC, New England, and LA.

It's really sad what has become of the news network he started. It's a joke, worse than Fox IMO.

And just in case you think it couldn't get any worse, the minute Newt drops out of the presidential race, he's going to become a commentator on CNN.

Part of the corporate synergy between CNN and HBO, promoting next month's big Time Warner pay-per-view fight
