That’s very funny.

Did you happen to see Anderson Cooper lose at Celebrity Jeopardy against Cheech Marin?

Anderson got clobbered. He looked like a deer in the headlights. It was great.

A dope losing to a doper.

Losing to Cheech has to hurt! Was it only on different kinds of dope?
Yeah man, uh, I’ll take Ganga for 1000 Alex

They have worked hard to get this low ratings....calling your viewers and their family members the vulgar homosexual term ‘teabaggers’, might have seemed funny to them, but it wasn’t to the viewers and their family members...

No Cheech beat him on all kinds of sophisticated topics. You have to see Anderson’s face to see how much it pained him to lose to Cheech.

I am surprised nobody posted it. Made my day to see that arrogant CNNer suffer a loss to a ganja head.

I mean Anderson’s an intellectual, no?

Is that what he’s costing CNN per hour or minute?

CNN executives have steadfastly said that they will not change their approach to prime-time programs, which are led by hosts not aligned with any partisan point of view.

lol!

I stopped watching Larry King a few years ago when he was interviewing Paul McCartney and King couldn’t even remember the names of the rest of the Beatles.

He is just too darn old. And he sets the tone for the entire CNN Network. No one at Time Warner seems to care . . CNN is still quite profitable despite the poor ratings.

The former viewers of CNN and MSNBC have left the tube and joined the Tea Party.

Larry who? I though he had died years ago...

He did. Noone noticed the difference.

Who is Larry King? For that matter..who is Wolf Blitzer?
They sound like cartoon characters from the comic books.

That's what happens when you stop doing responsible journalism and start doing yellow journalism and state-sponsored propaganda.

Yeah. Too bad. On the one hand, I want them to continue to take a financial beating for their past and present sins. OTOH, I want them to make an intelligent business decision and challenge FOX with an alternative conservative line-up.

The other day I was imagining what things would be like today without cable (FOX) and the internet. We would never have learned about the commies in the White House, or anything else substantive about Obama. We'd all be socialists now.

We'd be russian peasants watching what we were told to watch on our own home-grown version of TASS. It'd be Big Brother and 1984 in reality.

Gee between Larry Kings suspenders, Anderson Coopers muscle shirts, and John Kings stunning intellectual prowess you would think their ratings would be through the roof.

They are seriously deluded if they think their political bias does not impact their ratings. As the nation has grown increasingly disillusioned with Dear Leader so too have CNN’s numbers tanked.

If they were to become journalists instead of Democrat propagandists they might see their ratings improve.
