CNN's Jack Cafferty does a Mika Brzezinski: On-air, says take Lohan off his teleprompter (video)

1. Probably to make room for the 1,000 Harry Potter story..

I'm not going to get too excited over this yet, but I guess it's a promising trend.

3. What's amazing is that they are news stories

So a news reader refuses to do a celebrity story that's news? Boy, that alone should tell people how far downhill journalism has gone.

4. Can you imagine Walter Cronkite or Edward R. Murrow covering that CRAP?
