That's the truly boggling aspect of CNN's policies. I recall when a while back they sacked the modestly competent Aaron Brown (then probably the best journo they had) in order to make way for . . . extra Wolf Blitzer! Their premise seemed to be that, though Blitzer might be thicker than any number of short planks you'd care to name, he was the presenter the viewers would most want to have a beer with -- the very criterion that made George W. "Il" Buce such a sterling luminary of a president.
The morons running CNN seem to think the road to success is via focusing on the cosmetics, with news coverage as a secondary consideration.
