You aught to be elated. Another open critic of The Great Divider bites the dust.

Not anywhere in the mainstream. Maybe England. The BBC and Times don't seem so adverse to the Obama criticism. It's that or Fox.
P.S. Did you hear about Bidens secret service detail running down a pedestrian? Thought not.

I'm a huge Chris Hitchens fan. I think it would be so cool to just sit in a bar, get drunk, and talk to that guy about anything. Uhm, I assume you're talking about Christopher Hitchens?
I love that the liberals call him a conservative and the conservatives call him a liberal because he is a free thinker, doesn't mind attacking anything on either side that he disagrees with, and doesn't check which side of an issue a particular party supports before making up his mind about it.
Also, I stumbled across the BBC news while channel surfing many months ago and was impressed enough to TiVo it every day and it has become my primary TV news program.

Source: CNN wanted Lou outQuote:
CNN was so sick of Lou Dobbs, it gave him an $8 million severance package to leave, The Post has learned.
"They wanted him out," according to a source.
Dobbs, who a source said had a year and a half to go on his $12 million contract, shocked viewers last Wednesday by announcing he was quitting.
CNN boss Jonathan Klein and Dobbs, 64, had been publicly feuding over the kind of reporting Dobbs was doing on his show -- especially stories about illegal immigration and the anti-Obama "birther" movement, which contends the president was not born in Hawaii and is not an American citizen.
But it was not clear until now that CNN was willing to pay Dobbs so much money to leave.
"What they do is their business," Dobbs said yesterday. "I tried to accommodate them as best I could, but I've said for many years now that neutrality is not part of my being."
Klein long believed Dobbs was at odds with CNN's desire to position itself as an opinion-free, middle-of-the-road alternative to its cable news rivals -- conservative Fox News and liberal MSNBC.

If CNN is trying to be a middle of the road, non-opinionated news site, shouldn't they get rid of their liberal news personnel too?

Start with Wolf Blitzer.

Lou left $9M on the table. I am not sure it was his idea. Besides, did everyone forget the shots fired at his house?
Scratch that. I saw a report that said Lou was invited to leave with $8M in his pocket. Looks like they did a PV-FV calc and bought him out of his contract.
