Ouch.
The CNN folks are really on the skids.
But you have to love the way the liberal media portrays this.
Over at the HuffPo is this story acknowledging that CNN just posted its worst numbers in 20 years. (20 years!)
After running the numbers, the low for CNN, the fact that MSNBC is ahead of CNN… the story finally gets around to saying the Number One network is… drumroll… Fox News. Which is beating the pants off of MSNBC and CNN combined.
But there’s even more here in the humor department.
The story says that things are “especially bad” in the 9 p.m. slot for Larry King’s much touted successor Piers Morgan. It cites Morgan’s atrocious numbers and yada yada.
But what’s missing in this story? Hmmmmmmmmmm. Let us think. I’m sure we can come up with the name of He Who Shall Not Be Mentioned.
Yes! Got it! Hannity somebody! Slim… Sam….Steve… no… wait! Sean! That’s it! Sean Hannity!
Why is this? Why would Sean Hannity’s name be completely absent from a news story explaining that his competition is getting clobbered… but not saying who, exactly, is doing the winning?
We report you decide. And one more thing.
Yes, Hannity is THE place to go for a discussion of conservatism.
But there’s something else. In fact Hannity regularly has liberals on the show… drawing them out on their ideas, challenging them to defend their beliefs etc.
Hello? How hard is this to figure out that this is both good television and good serious discussion? Moving the nation’s political conversation forward, as it were, five nights a week.
Apparently this is too hard for CNN these days.
So Piers Morgan and CNN slowly fade to black. And Hannity is re-signed by Fox.
And the HuffPo can’t quite bring itself to tell you why one event is connected to the other.

Hannity is much better than O'Reilly. Lately O'Reilly has trended more conservative because he finally sees how bad Obama is and wants to follow the bandwagon. Hannity has been right about Obama from day one and is fearless.
Paul McGrath| 5.31.12 @ 4:35PM
Well, Hannity doesn't really challenge his liberal opponents; more accuratly, he browbeats them. It would be really nice if he would let them talk; they sound foolish all by themselves.

"Yes, Hannity is THE place to go for a discussion of conservatism."
No, Hannity is the place for a discussion of neoconservatism.

Red: just promise to clean up the WMD site, without protective clothing, when we get hit if your advice is followed. Notice I didn't say "if."
By the way, Ron Paul just voted to kill little girl babies.
Red Phillips | 5.31.12 @ 10:20PM
So if we withdrew from the Middle East and declared neutrality regarding their conflicts it would be more likely that a WMD would go off here? You don't even believe that. You have yet to explain to me how bombing far off Muslim nation states makes terrorism less likely on our shores.
BTW, did you read my reply to your last comment about cleaning up WND site?. You should. I had to take a whole bunch of CME on WND response when I was in the military. Didn't you? Oh yeah. That's right. You were never in the military. You were too busy serving in the keyboard chair brigade.
