I would almost go back to watching CNN just to see the first left leaning talk show host to appear there, but I won't have to waste my time since Beck will keep track for me and he will tell me when it happens.

A psychologist told Beck that CNN has come to the place where they don't want to give a voice to certain people. As long as they can keep them in a group they can call anything they want as long as they don't have a voice it all works for them and against the right leaners of talk radio. This is getting better all the time.

"Can this be true. Glenn Beck says that CNN has banned the appearance of talk show radio hosts."

One can only hope so.

I was trapped into that very thing for years by the fact that the only 24/7 my cable service provided was CNN. Then about 5 years ago I went with DishNet and the same thing was there unless I wanted to watch CNBC, which I didn't. They came along with a come on to get the next highest thing they had on my birthday in 2004 and Fox showed up and I was so happy. Exactly 2 months of that and I had a heart attack and spent nearly two weeks in the hospital where Fox wasn't available on their cable either. About two weeks after I got home it disappeared and I was without until soon after the Coronation in January.

I watched about 5 minutes of CNN yesterday when Fox left Obama and his town hall. I couldn't take it, though.

Sorry I used your words but changed them enough to use the word not with them when talking about CNN. Yeah I am sorry.

The president of CNN asked that talk show hosts not be booked because they are too predictable. I have no idea what Beck said so I have no idea if what he said is true or the Glenn Beck version of truth.
