Really?

I've not watched CNN since 2001, though I've been recently following Anthony Bourdain's exploits there on Sunday nights. CNN is now reviving Crossfire, eight years after that pathetic, predictable shout-fest was rightly cancelled. And, worse, Newt Gingrich will be the star host. Are you kidding me? CNN is betting that the show will draw ratings the way a car crash attracts morbid curiosity. Neither CNN nor the GOP have any chance of resurgence until they start showcasing relevant, interesting and sane representatives of their deteriorating brands.
