None of this will work. People don't want hard news in the mornings that they have to sit down and actually watch; the public is getting ready for work and the TV functions as a glorified radio for them while they're running all over the house. So American Morning is doomed no matter who anchors.

Anderson Cooper's show could work, but not at 7 pm. People aren't ready for quirky at 7 pm. Keith Olbermann is quirky at 8 pm, and his ratings blow.

Paula Zahn simply has a cold, off-setting personality. People don't want to watch her. So her show's dead, especially against O'Reilly.

CNN: One screwed-up channel.

Instead, they say they're sticking with the one that CNN founder Ted Turner chose two decades ago: objective news

Uhhh...if by "objective" they mean selling integrity for access, then I wholeheartedly agree. What a joke.
