Paula Zahn to leave CNN

“We worked so hard to maintain a high quality of objective reporting on the air,” she said of her show, which recently featured a series of special reports about intolerance, including racial bias. “Yet what has become clear when you look at the landscape, particularly in the 8 o’clock hour, it seems pretty obvious the audience is drawn to opinion-driven shows. That is not what I do.”

I disagree with her.  I think when you do shows intended to cultivate fear in Americans, it doesn’t work. Keith Olbermann works because well hes smart and I think people just tune into Bill O’Reilly to count how many times he says shut up and it provides a parallel to the Jerry Springer show…the tv show not radio show.
