Yes Wes, falling ratings and lost revenues tend to make them more honest (which is not that hard considering their track record). (laugh)

CNN still made up false news stories in Iraq while I was there which I witnessed and will never forgive them for. Needless to say, they have A LOT of work to rebuild their credibility and this is only window dressing.

I wish Tony the best. He is a class act from the word go. Maybe it will help balance CNN… if only a little bit.

It’ll be fun watching him clean the left leaning clocks of the people he comes up against. I wonder how many of them wanted him to die when he had his cancer surgery?

This guy has a long history in the media…..PBS, NPR, and now CNN, where he’ll be alongside Glenn Beck. Those “librul media” outlets have a pretty good hiring history, it seems…(laugh)

One can hope that Tony Snow might bring respectability back to what used to be “vaunted” CNN. Heck, I think we can all remember the days of Gulf War I when CNN was absolutely the best coverage out there.
Just for another example of how low CNN has sunk (and how much a tool of the Obama campaign it has become); this morning in the midst of reporting on the continuing case of the polygamist cult down in Texas, CNN brought on some “expert” who also noted the “racist” nature of the group… This then fed into the woman who was arrested in Colorado Springs for making a false report about being a thirteen year old girl who was being abused in the compound. Turns out she’s an Obama delegate, and was slated to go to the Denver convention. So, the anchor then goes on this spiel on how indirectly BHO (the messiah) was responsible for taking down this cult. I swear, I could not believe my ears that this stuff was getting put on the tele-prompter for the anchor to read… This was news??? Good luck Tony Snow!

Good for Tony. He’s the hardest working guy in broadcasting. I remember one Friday before he went to the White House, he subbed for Rush for three hours, did an hour long interview on a local DC radio show, then subbed for Brit Hume on Special Report.

I bumped into him at lunch one time at the Capitol City Brewing Company (about half way between my work and the Fox DC bureau) and he seemed as nice in person as he seems on TV.

I wish him the best – it’s more likely that CNN’s character will change before Tony will.

I expect him to be used relatively infrequently but they’ll claim full credit for having a conservative on board.

This is *great* news! Putting Tony in the faces of the “no Fox all the time” snippy progressives may actually help with education of the same. They’d never turn to Fox willingingly, ya know.

And I’ll follow Tony anywhere!
