Pinch Me, I Must Be Dreaming

Crossfire is cancelled:

CNN/U.S. President Jonathan Klein sided Wednesday with comedian Jon Stewart, who used a "Crossfire" appearance last fall to rip the program as so much hackery.

"I think he made a good point about the noise level of these types of shows, which does nothing to illuminate the issues of the day," Klein said. Viewers need useful information in a dangerous world, he said, "and a bunch of guys screaming at each other simply doesn't accomplish that."

Too bad Carlson is going the MSNBC. My hopes for that channel had been rising and Keith Olbermann is really one of my favorites.

Of course the real reason Carlson got canned and Crossfire was cancelled is because of the relentless pressure forced upon it by the blistering editorials featured on Eisengeiste.

The final straw - Tucker Carlson trying to be the sensitive interviewer for the tsunami coverage while sitting in for Aaron Brown on Newsnight, as if he were some sort of human being with a natural ability to empathize. Ick. I'd rather watch meat rot.

MSNBC with Carlson, Scarborough and Dennis Miller is going into the sociocapitalist drain.

Can CNN finally take the middle?

Carlson opposed the war? Did I miss something?

Allow me one more dig at MS while they're down (ha!). This just came in as part of an alert from the MS "knowledge" base:

"When you work with Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0, the IsMissing function may not work correctly...This behavior is by design."

I hope that clears things up.
