toughest timeslot in cable news

I dunno, O'Reilly doesn't seem to find it all that tough to score fantastic ratings, every night, in that time slot.

Of course. The 3 people watching it might get confused.

Ex-cheerleader Campbell Brown, described by the NY Times as a tattooed ex-party girl and ski bum, tries to make herself out to be a martyr to “hard news” and “old fashioned...journalism”.

I’m proud that I had no idea if this was a man or woman. CNN is only for massive disaster news programming. They still manage to pull that off #1 in my book.

They’re gonna change Campbell Brown’s name to “The Girl from Epoynma”.

(I have to confess, I’ve been looking for a way to use that line for about 25 years.)

". . . so that CNN can try something new."

Hmmmmm.....something new....like "fair and balanced"???

Oh wait....that's already working....

Hmmmmmm.....how about telling the truth in an objective way without a bias toward liberalism/progressivism?

Maybe she can become a "paid contributor" to FOX...she'd be a damn site better then the defensive, non-sensical, whinning Juan Williams!

From Wikipedia:

One who is referred to as eponymous is someone who gives his or her name to something, e.g. Julian, the eponymous owner of the famous restaurant Julian's Castle. Something eponymous is named after a particular person, e.g. Julian's eponymous restaurant.

While Brown praised the "incredible talents" of her 8 p.m. cable news competitors, she also revealed she didn't feel she was in the same league as these pundits.

If you look just below her right ear, you'll see the Schrader valve.

Glad you got a chance to use it. You probably won’t have another opportunity for another quarter century.

“””Brown’s news program aired at 8 p.m. on CNN opposite Fox’s “The O’Reilly Factor,” HLN’s “Nancy Grace” and MSNBC’s “Countdown with Keith Olbermann.” While Brown praised the “incredible talents” of her 8 p.m. cable news competitors, she also revealed she didn’t feel she was in the same league as these pundits.”””””””””

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When you realize you are lower than olbergoober, it’s time to stop pretending you are a “news person”. Certainly there must be a Starbucks somewhere looking for help.

That's why she thinks its the toughest time slot. She has to go up against O’Reilley.

"Hmmmmm.....something new....like "fair and balanced"??? "

The rumor circulating on many of the media sites is that the LuvGov, Elliot Spitzer is the lead contender to replace her.

So much for fair an balanced, although CNN should nicely tie up the hooker and corrupt politician demographics.

I think Campbell would do a good job as a talking head guest on these shows, such as BOR. She would be better to listen to (add more value) than most of the liberals BOR and Hannity have on.

Her problem was not her on-air talents, which I think are considerable. It was purely a content issue. No one really wants to listen to that drivel nonstop, either on the tube or on the radio. However, as far as being the liberal guest on various shows, Campbell would be great.

I wonder what took them so long? I try to watch her sometimes but she is a liar, so I just can’t.
