CNN gives Laura Ingraham a tryout.
TV Newser reports CNN has offered conservative radio host Laura Ingraham a one-week guest-host gig for the 8pm ET slot vacated by Paula Zahn. Atrios says contact CNN and “Ask them if someone who told her listeners to jam a voter hotline is really someone appropriate for ‘The most trusted name in news.’”

WTF is CNN thinking giving that sack-o-crap a temp job?
July 31st, 2007 at 7:53 pmCD…..Temp Job? Olbermann has been full time at Countdown.
July 31st, 2007 at 7:55 pmI’d give Laura a one week gig, if ya know what I’m saying.
OHHHH
July 31st, 2007 at 7:56 pmI thought it quite peculiar that CNN would ‘try out’ such a warped minded person. What’s even more peculiar is the comment page on CNN when it asks:
July 31st, 2007 at 8:00 pmMy comment today is:
Positive
Negative
Do they ‘dump’ the negative and collect the positive?
It always amazes me when the so called party of tolerance sets out on missions to silence the opposition.
Obviously CNN wants to try and chip away at Bill O’Rielly’s ratings, or they would not be attempting this. I personally don’t like Laura Ingraham, so I won’t watch her.
July 31st, 2007 at 8:03 pmI gave up on CNN when they signed up Glenn Beck. This is what we get when we allow our media to be owned by a small number of very rich people. The worst thing that Bill Clinton did during his administration was signing the Telecommunications Act, allowing for monopolies in our media.
July 31st, 2007 at 8:04 pmComment by 186 — July 31, 2007 @ 7:55 pm
Was that supposed to be a joke?
July 31st, 2007 at 8:07 pm“It always amazes me when the so called party of tolerance sets out on missions to silence the opposition. Intolerant Dems”
So tell me Mr. Intolerant Dems – why do your right-wing websites not allow a progressive/liberal voice to be heard? I twice registered at redstate.com and twice they locked me out within an hour. And my sin? I stated an opposing viewpoint. So you think that Democrats are intolerant. Please tell me why you think that Republicans are tolerant. Can you direct me to any right wing website that allows a progressive/liberal to voice their opinions like you are allowed to do here?
July 31st, 2007 at 8:07 pmPuhleaze, bilbobaggins!
Have you ever seen a town house discussion with this administration.
Straight, partisan questions resulting in straight, honest answers!
Fact.
July 31st, 2007 at 8:09 pmYou lose.
Next batta!
Intolerant Dems like the idea of fascist corporatists occupying all the airwaves, it makes him feel like daddy is protecting him from the big, bad truth.
July 31st, 2007 at 8:09 pmWhat does one expect from this corporate owned republican media? And to hire Laura Ingraham …. that toad…just goes to show how desperate they are.
July 31st, 2007 at 8:10 pmSo you folks say CNN can’t hire someone because they don’t think the way you do?
July 31st, 2007 at 8:13 pmHmmm, as if Glenn Beck’s ratings weren’t low enough. So much for the lie that giving airtime to right wing propagandists was about the ratings. It’s just PR and lobbying for the Corporate Media and their lust for deregulation.
July 31st, 2007 at 8:13 pmKeith Olbermann has great ratings and makes MSNBC money. But of course, CNN doesn’t bother looking for a person like him. Only conservative talking heads on the so called “liberal network.” Yeah, right.
July 31st, 2007 at 8:14 pmCan you put that in a format so that people can understand what you are trying to say because I sure don’t get it.
July 31st, 2007 at 8:15 pmIt always amazes me when the so called party of tolerance sets out on missions to silence the opposition.
Comment by Intolerant Dems — July 31, 2007 @ 8:03 pm

It’s just a question.
Calm down.
July 31st, 2007 at 8:16 pmIt’s just PR and lobbying for the Corporate Media and their lust for deregulation.

Do you really think the government can fix anything with regulation? Or do you want them to regulate they only give your viewpoint? (narrow as it is.)
July 31st, 2007 at 8:16 pm“So you folks say CNN can’t hire someone because they don’t think the way you do?
Comment by Kevin”
Excuse me Kevin. Can you point to where anyone said that CNN can’t hire her. People are only saying that they don’t know why CNN would hire someone so partisan. Now, please tell me what you would say if you were on one of your conservative websites, that don’t allow liberals to post, and you read that CNN was signing up Michael Moore as a host? Would you say “yahoo”?
July 31st, 2007 at 8:17 pmActually this is not a bad thing. She will take viewers from O’Reilly while leaving Olbermann’s ratings alone. I’d rather have two conservatives going against one liberal than the other way around.
July 31st, 2007 at 8:17 pmYou OsamaProgressives crack me the fkuc up!
The ratings consistently point to a conservative audience..
for decades!
Ya’ll can’t stand losing, but should be oh so used to it!
What have you got?
Air America…..Lost!
Kieth Olbermann…Loser!
Media Matters….Joke!
BradBlog….Homo nicotine addict!
Get over your losses, lick your wounds, and accept the fact your party will not/have not/can not accomplish what you oh so crave (taxation, no rich, no defense, …etc)
July 31st, 2007 at 8:17 pmAmerica does not want it.

Kevin: You seem very concerned regulation. Does it bother you that your conservative websites “regulate” to where they don’t allow liberals to post? Unlike this site, I have as yet found a conservative website that will allow an opposing view. You have the right to post here, so why should I not have the right to post on one of your conservative websites?
July 31st, 2007 at 8:19 pmNow, please tell me what you would say if you were on one of your conservative websites, that don’t allow liberals to post, and you read that CNN was signing up Michael Moore as a host? Would you say “yahoo�
Comment by bilbobaggins — July 31, 2007 @ 8:17 pm
If CNN wants to hire Moore, then have at it. I would even watch his show. I’m no scared of viewing a view point I don’t agree with. I don’t post on any other blog (other than a personal one) but I don’t see liberals barred from any site. Now if they have a no hate comments rule then I can see it. You folks love to hate.
July 31st, 2007 at 8:22 pmComment by Kevin — July 31, 2007 @ 8:16 pm
Actually yes, the broadcast spectrum is highly valuable public property that the Corporate Media gets to make a profit off of for peanuts. Being public property, the government, as the democratic instrument of the people, has a responsibility to ensure that it is used in the public, not private, interest. It belongs to the public and users should be obliged to give equal time to opposing opinions and not just right wing propaganda. If the Corporate Media refuses to use this public resource responsibly, then the license should be repealed and given to a more responsible party.
July 31st, 2007 at 8:22 pmSo you folks say CNN can’t hire someone because they don’t think the way you do?

Are you kidding.. to hire this obnoxious sleaze bag? She is way down there with the worst of them. Apparently you have not heard her when she opens her mouth. Even you may be offended.

Keep posting you shiznit, and slap down dem demoncrats!
July 31st, 2007 at 8:24 pmCC dEvil, thanks for ‘06, and in advance for ‘08, when we tax the rich for their fair share instead of allowing them to steal from the poor and starve children and seniors to death. this country achieved greatnes with a 90% marginal tax rate, and lost that greatness under Reagan and the Bushes. The dollar is falling faster than bill O’Liellly’s ratings, and Americans are embarrassed to admit to their citizenship when traveling abroad. nice work, chickenhawk.
July 31st, 2007 at 8:25 pm“What site?
Comment by Kevin ”
redstate.com for one. Twice in two days they blocked two different accounts I had set up for the sin of having an opposing view.
So, please Kevin, give me the name of ONE conservative website that allows liberals to post the way Think Progress allows you to post.
July 31st, 2007 at 8:26 pm“Great” would not be accurate. OK/Good would be better.

Your version of hate is to not tolerate people pissing on our constitution and the rule of law.
And if this is the only website where you post (which I doubt), then you need to get out a little more and broaden your horizons. If you opened your mind just a crack you might to amazed at what enters your mind. You might actually start thinking independently of the Borg (NeoCons) that now is in command of your brain.
July 31st, 2007 at 8:28 pmFrom a CNN memo:
Maybe if we start airing hosts with views that are more in line with mainstream America, people will watch our network. It worked for Fox.
Well, maybe your right. I hate to upset all my socialist friends, but I think we should call Laura Ingram…

Anywho… Night folks.
July 31st, 2007 at 8:30 pmokay ronjazz
what would you like Kevin to discuss?
they way Rush Limbaugh et al run circles around your sorry team?
Or the fact that the Repugs (as you oh so like to call them) still have power, and made the Dems look pathetically slow, and worthless?
Again, you lost (a continuous trend). Head up, dawg. At least you tried

Comment by Kevin
Oh come on Kevin…. you know as well as all here the neocons have their own special rules … they do not take calls from the left and their sites for the most part are blocked – only righties allowed. Why – so they can continue with their entertainment of LIES to the very ignorant. In contrast, left talk shows welcome you righties as constantly proving how ignorant you folks are leads to more entertainment and higher ratings. Some of the left show beg you guys to call in.
July 31st, 2007 at 8:36 pmbilbobaggins. I went to redstate and saw your post. I don’t think you know what you’re talking about.
Here it is. #18.
http://redstate.com/stories/culture/two_cheers_for_the_hypocrites#comment
July 31st, 2007 at 8:41 pmIt’s actually post 19. Here’s the post for those of you too lazy to go over:
Talk about hypocrites, you folks give the word “hypocrite” new meaning. You only believe in free speech for people who tow your party line. If anyone posts an opposing opinion on this site, their account is blocked and Redstate does something with their IP address to make it so the person can’t even read Redstate. All they get is a blank page.
So, what are you afraid of. If you think you are right, why don’t you allow opposing opinions? Why do you delete the accounts and block the IP addresses of people who post an opposing view on your site.
Liberals believe in free speech for everyone. I don’t know of any liberal website that blocks people from posting other than when they get obscene or threatening. It makes a lot of the liberal sites rather annoying and messy, but that is the price the liberals are willing to pay to allow everyone the right to have their voice heard, no matter how inane that voice may be.
Countdown to this account deletion and IP blocking…..I’m betting on less than 30 minutes.
July 31st, 2007 at 8:44 pmI was stoked to ask CNN why it was they thought Glennn Beck hadn’t done enough to damage their reputation
July 31st, 2007 at 8:45 pmComment by paul — July 31, 2007 @ 8:44 pm
It’s obvious that post was only left up in a lame effort to appear as if they don’t censor opposing opinions. Find us some posts by Liberals there that dispute relevant political topics. I’ll bet you can’t find a real one. Only logical fallacies deliberately posted to make Liberal arguments look weak.
July 31st, 2007 at 8:49 pmShe’d be great for the best Lindsay/Paris/Nicole/Other white trash news cast.
July 31st, 2007 at 8:50 pmI think TP is great for having the “most awesomest” trools (typo intended) of any website ever. Awesome Hi-5’s to all you awesome patriots and studs who make sure the lefties don’t get to maintain their chokehold on all power since anyone can even remember. You awesome heroes are awesome.

Yes, Kevin, I posted hate, because the right thinks an opposing point of view is hate. Night Kevin, go try to rest the few brain cells you have in your pea brain.
I wonder what incarnation Mr. Pee will come back as tomorrow? Kevin was not one of his better choices.
July 31st, 2007 at 8:55 pmCNN has to make whatever decision improves their bottom line. If Laura brings in more viewers, that’ll bring in more advertising revenues.
You know, the same free market principles that caused Air America to fail. Nobody was listening. Nobody wanted to advertise. Revenues weren’t coming in.

July 31st, 2007 at 9:01 pmhere’s more bilbobaggins on redstate:
“I believe you meant Liberals believe in free speech for everyone, as long as they agee with them, otherwise it may be a hate crime.”
Oh really, then why do all the liberal websites allow people like you to post there but this site locks out anyone with an opposing view?
There are lots of people like you who post opposing opinions to liberal websites. Unfortunately most of them do nothing more than spout the right-wing talking points, many of which were debunked years ago. And then there is their fall-back plan which is “Clinton did it too”.
Counting down to account deletion…it’s been here 15 minutes. Any minute now.
July 31st, 2007 at 9:05 pmso paul, are you saying billyboy is not being entirely accurate regarding a right wing blog?

July 31st, 2007 at 9:42 pmConservatives who care will ONLY watch Fox News. Why doesn’t CNN care about such things?
Remember when CNN hosted the GOP debate? It finished behind Fox News in the ratings. FNC fans would rather watch Hannity talking to Dick Morris than their party debate.
Instead of trying to pick off Fox’s ageing viewers (which they can’t do), has the concept of counterprogramming ever occurred to them?
July 31st, 2007 at 9:45 pmFor the network that has the bigot gasbag Glenn Beck and a complete whacko named Lou Dobbs, its no shocker they put yet another far (and by far, I mean FAR) right conservative on their station.
And yet another reason to keep my half-assed boycott of CNN going strong.

If restructuring bankruptcy is failure, then the entire airline industry, and much of your beloved GOP pet industries are all failures.
As for failure, you mean like how they were blocked from entering many lucrative markets by GOP controlled media conglomerates even though the listeners in those markets said they would listen?
Yeah, whatever. Put away the unicorns, and get real.
Revenues were coming in, but they overreached and overspent relative to the media access the wingnuts were permitting. You try starting an entire radio network against the prevailing efforts of an entire corporate structure bent on your downfall. Considering, they’ve done quite well. We’ll see what happens when they’re out of bankruptcy.
In the meanwhile, are are those friends of you and George at Enron doing? No revenues? Boycotts? Or are you just prone to smearing people that don’t think in unicorn terms?

Comment by YYZ — July 31, 2007 @ 9:45 pm
The continued presence of Glenn Beck proves it’s not about the ratings. It is about the bottom line however. The Corporate Media has a vested financial interest in the fortunes of the Republican party and its ideology of deregulation. It’s all about the continued concentration of media into the hands of a few mega multinational corporations. By promoting right wing propaganda and excluding left wing criticism, the media is a powerful PR and lobbying tool for elite and corporate interests to effect the political system in their favor.
July 31st, 2007 at 9:56 pmCC Deville couldn’t play YYZ in his dreams.

Last I checked AAR was doing great…. sure you are not confused by more lies from the righties? Even non syndicated talk radio shows such as Ray Taliaferro from kgo.com is doing very well… a lot of listeners all over the world listening on the internet… listening just to get a scrap of truth…. People are fed up with the lies, smear tactics coming from your loser heroes on the right… and I can just imagine how much revenue the frenzied Christian right pour into these frauds just to keep them afloat.
July 31st, 2007 at 10:12 pmBless you, Snowball for comments #59. I like to go to the TP site because, unless there are trolls, comments like yours stay on topic. Of course, trolls can’t stay on topic. They treat issues exactly like Republicans.

Who are you and how much are being paid to post here?
CNN has very little news and lots of propaganda, much like you. For your information, “ronjazz,” the Dems and those who support them in droves, are trying to STOP the complete takeover of your government by the fascist cronies of this criminal administration.
I am done with you and your kind. I would suggest you read the constitution. Unless, of course, you get fined for that kind of behavior. Or could you actually be sending your drivel from the white house? Could you actually be Karl? How easy is it to enlist mindless drones these days to spew stupidity on otherwise intelligent blogs? Calling the kettle black is defined as projection. I am damn tired of being insulted and vilified for the very things you are doing. Go away.
July 31st, 2007 at 10:27 pmWell it’s all about money anyway and she brings her band of ……..jeeeez whatever they are.
July 31st, 2007 at 10:33 pmIf there was common sense left the network would put her between some meaningful information and maybe give her ………groupies(?)some perspective.
But it’s all about money so who cares about meaningful information.
When taken in small doses this one is fairly comical.It’s hard to imagin anyone living with that type thinking.That makes it fun to hear her strain her mental limitations.

That was a joke.

Reread ronjazz’s post and realize that he is a liberal addressing a troll named “Ignorant Dems”. I made the same mistake at first. :-)
July 31st, 2007 at 10:42 pmLaura Ingraham is a stupid little moron.
She was once affianced to a piece of slime named Dinesh D’Souza. That little freak is an Indian national who is a power-sucking arse. Had that pathetic little moron been around during colonial days, he would have sucked up to the British, big time.
Ingraham needs to get her personal life straightened out. Not only is she an idiot, she is offensive to middle-class Americans, purportedly her audience.
July 31st, 2007 at 11:03 pmPlease, do not entertain the trolls. Do not respond to their imbecile comments.
Most of them are paid to disrupt the thread. Just scroll past the morons.
July 31st, 2007 at 11:13 pm2006 Conservatives lose majorities in the House and Senate
2006-2007 Polls continue to show sharp declines in support for conservative causes
2007 Conservatives have trouble raising 2008 campaign money
2001-2007 Conservatives engaged in unprecedented corruption
Therefore in 2007 CNN sees a need for more conservative voices.
July 31st, 2007 at 11:24 pmWe need a Democrat president to regulate the airwaves and force companies to present opposing viewpoints, from liberals and conservatives. The media has turned into a conveyor belt of right-wing talking points and misinformation.
July 31st, 2007 at 11:25 pmCNN has lost their ability to stay ahead of the curve. The market pendulum is swinging back to the left and they’re still following FoxNews, swinging further right of center.
I have no confidence in their business acumen.

Well, they may have left my comments there, but they DID block me from being able to post and the blocked my ISP from even being able to load the redstate.com webpage.
You can believe what you wish. You have been believing fantasies for a long time now, so fantasize that I am lying and can actually post on redstate.com. Not to mention the fact that the same thing has happened to other posters on this site.
July 31st, 2007 at 11:40 pmTime to boycott CNN like I boycott FOX. They are turning into Fox. Come on, punish the media when they are blatantly biased, don’t reward them by watching. Lou Dobbs is impossible to stomach lately either, with his obsessions with Illegal Mexicans and “Communist China”. The days of CNN being fair are long over.
August 1st, 2007 at 12:56 amCNN has not been on in my house for about 8 months via TV. I guess I will have to tune the Censored News Network out on my computer and sat radio as well. Such a shame to see a once brilliant leader of round the clock journalism turned into a FOX Jr.
August 1st, 2007 at 1:25 amDamn…CNN messed up big time.
August 1st, 2007 at 2:09 amI don’t know why CNN keeps putting on these right-wing hacks – but anything’s better than Paula Zahn.
August 1st, 2007 at 2:22 am“Ithought it quite peculiar that CNN would ‘try out’ such a warped minded person. ”
MSNBC has Olbermann on.
August 1st, 2007 at 11:30 amCNN fair????? LOL CNN has always been the Clinton News Network
August 1st, 2007 at 11:31 amThis is how Nazi Germany started. You don’t like a guest host or agree with her views, so you try to blackball her and shut her down. The next step will be when you gain power – you will re-instate the Fairness Doctrine. Then, you will seek to kill off as many conservatives as you can.
The left will KILL to keep power. It is a FACT.
August 1st, 2007 at 12:09 pmGod bless John Roberts. It was so good of him to agree to claim it was a seizure when we know a lefty tried to poison him. You want Roberts DEAD. You want Alito dead. You will conservatives just like Hitler did.

Comment by enough already
UHHHH! OK, I’ll bite? Who did the “left” kill?
And last I checked, your favorite Nazi is still in the WH, along side Dubya, his sockpuppet.

You libtards wish you had the brains that Bill oreilly has.
Just admitt that Bush is doing a great Job.
August 1st, 2007 at 2:49 pmCC your right on man. BVush will go down in history as the greatest President ever. also I think Gonzales will be looked upon as the greatest AG of the modern era.
August 1st, 2007 at 2:52 pmtee heee….
hey righties – you lose. the end.
August 1st, 2007 at 4:18 pmhahhahaha enough already ummmm so you must be a michael savage listener you actually think someone can cause a seizure. they only way I have ever heard anyone being able to produce a seizure on damn is with overstimulation to the cerebal cortex and that only works 10% of the time. Liberals have conspiracy theories seems like your party has fantasies. As far as your illusions of the grandiose of Bush and Gonzales those comments and too stupid as to require elaboration.
August 1st, 2007 at 9:37 pmSo you folks say CNN can’t hire someone because they don’t think the way you do?
I object to CNN giving WarWhore Ingraham even 1 second of air time.
Is that clear enough?

No, CCDevil, I would never want a muddled mind like Bill O’Lielly’s and yours. Nor would I want your “writing skills,” either.
August 2nd, 2007 at 2:59 amBy “Job”–do you mean the Biblical character? If, on the other hand. you mean “job” in terms of work, yes, I’ll admit that Bush has been doing a great one in making the US more hated around the world and in recruiting even previously neutral Muslims in various countries to the Al Qaeda cause.
I think it’s a great idea. FAIRNESS DOCTRINE KICKIN THE LIBERALS IN THE ASS… HA HA HA POWER TO THE PEOPLE…..
August 3rd, 2007 at 10:57 amSo, what are you guys afraid of? CNN can read the handwriting on the wall. Their ratings are in the tank … They need a boost. After all, there is a talk radio station in LA that has higher prime time ratings than CNN, MSNBC and CNBC combined NATIONALLY. Why is that you think?
August 3rd, 2007 at 10:59 amLaura is great – but the rumor is false.
August 3rd, 2007 at 11:03 amShe is probably smarter, funnier, more educated and has more real life experience than any prompter-reading stuffed-suit at the network.
Ah, what a nice change! Sheesh, perhaps they could fire a good dozen or so of those left wing, kook fringed reporters @ CNN. Wolf must be bristling in his soft leather chair “God, please don’t let it be so! Laura Ingraham!!??” LOL, This should appeal to CNN’s staunch loyal islaminazi veiwers.
August 3rd, 2007 at 11:03 amIngraham: Making liberals look stupid since 1964.
August 3rd, 2007 at 11:03 amOh and I suppose the Left Coasters want Glenn Beck off the air too? So, I guess the FAIRNESS DOCTRINE only goes one way, towards the LEFT COAST??
POWER TO THE PEOPLE
August 3rd, 2007 at 11:11 amLora – In case you missed it (just one example) – France elected the PRO-American candidate in its last Presidential election. Do you just ignore the big facts of reality when they don’t support your POV? Does it feel just that f’ing good to screech your lies? I can understand that, but late at night, you know that President Bush is an honest guy and that just eats up your insides doesn’t it? FYI: One of the most popular baby names in Afghanistan now is “George”. Priceless.
August 3rd, 2007 at 2:46 pmPlease not the “shrill”……..
Put her on with Glen Beck. They deserve each other as well as compliment each other.
Just thinkhow they could agree with each other on hating people they disagree with.
August 4th, 2007 at 3:51 amBy the way,
How many conservative water carrying talking heads does the republicans need to keep their illusion. By finding and espousing to others who they should hate and why?
Its not about bbeing American with them. It is about being the republican guard for Bush.
Party first, American second or even third with some of these folks.
They spew hate so, not realizing the hateful raged confusion they cause their following to play out their hate in real life.
August 4th, 2007 at 4:05 amThis is quite amazing – the level of vitriol, ad hominem attacks, and general lack of information supporting positions reflects poorly on most of those posting here. This seems to be what Air America is catering to; everytime I listen I hear irrational rants unsupported by data and filled with logical errors. Occational useful bit of information do creep through to be broadcast, and a few hosts actually stick to the facts first with interpretation based on these. However this occurs so infrequently, AAR needs to be subsidized privately just to stay in bankruptcy. Then when an arguement is actually presented, only part of the issue is included. There’s an awful lot of this going on above, both sides but mostly the left. As to blogsite blockage, has not happened to me, nor have I noticed it. I do however find that liberal talk radio excludes or excoriates conservatives, while conservative talk radio, with some exceptions, engages all sides and at worst, pokes holes in their arguements. In addition the conservative voices roundly condem conservatives who lose the point of being conservative, while my experience has been that liberal voices usually try to find an excuse or claim that because some conservative did “it” its okay to do. Not the exclusive domain of liberals, but they seem to be the primary paractitioners.
