Why CNN? Lowest ratings on cable.
Did you know that in the last election that CNN had more viewers than FOX?
I think it is because it has pretty straight forward reporting (yea I know their talking heads are biased and show it) where as FOX seems to spend too much time with their guests like Beckel, Gingrich, Colmes, Rove etc pontificating.
I know that at times when there is a big breaking story and FOX and CNN are covering it, FOX will spend most of their time with the guests talking and the actual breaking story live video as a b-roll with no sound.
Switch to CNN and the story is reported more directly.
This first-ever Tea Party Presidential Debate for GOP candidates for president will get them huge ratings and at the same time get Tea Party information out there big time.
