Huzzah!

From newsblues.com:

-CNN has ended its relationship with the conservative commentator Tucker Carlson and will shortly cancel its long-running daily political shout show "Crossfire."

CNN/U.S. President Jonathan Klein sided with comedian Jon Stewart, who used a "Crossfire" appearance last fall to rip the program as partisan hackery. "I think he made a good point about the noise level of these types of shows, which does nothing to illuminate the issues of the day," Klein told Howard Kurtz in the Washington Post. Viewers need "useful" information in a dangerous world, he said, "and a bunch of guys screaming at each other simply doesn't accomplish that."
