I'm sure that this has already been reported here; CNN has hired conservative radio host Glenn Beck:

Urge CNN not to provide a platform for conservative misinformation and hate speech
Take Action

CNN Headline News has hired Glenn Beck -- a nationally syndicated right-wing radio host known for making controversial and offensive statements -- for a "new prime time program." Recently, Beck commented that it took him "about a year to start hating the 9-11 victims' families," described individuals suffering in New Orleans immediately after Hurricane Katrina as "scumbags," and contemplated whether to hire someone to kill filmmaker Michael Moore or to do it himself.

CNN's decision to hire Beck, along with its reported hiring of controversial radio host Bill Bennett as a political analyst, raise serious questions about whether CNN has made a high-level decision to support and promote right-wing individuals, even those who have a history of promoting conservative misinformation and offensive rhetoric.

Take Action! Click the link below to contact CNN and urge them to stop providing a platform for conservative misinformation and hate speech.

Glenn Beck is the conservative radio jock who discussed killing Michael Moore on the air. This is just one example of the disgusting hate speech that he spews.

Here's a Media Matters link to some of his hate speech:

4. I've not heard anything about David Irving. What's up with him?

I was wondering if CNN was also adding left-leaning people to balance the right. My guess is that they're not.

3. I agree, and also make sure you never watch his show!
I'm still hoping that works with that idiot Rita Cosby that MSNBC hired recently! I gave her about 5 minutes on her first show, and decided I really couldn't listen to the sound of her voice ever again!

Ratings is everything to these networks, and if nobody watches, the shows will be gone!
