When will the other cablers wake up and smell the coffee — or are they just going to stick with the same plan and continue to circle the drain? It’s amazing that after all the drubbing CNN and MSNBC are taking from FNC that they still stick with their same old WH talking points day in/day out.

@TfT, Yeah, the same old FNC bashing by the same old panelists. Obama lap dog Paul Begala was especially irritating this week on AC360. He is the first person to complain about the behavior of the town hall protesters, but he is rude and obnoxious himself, talking over other panelists and making offensive remarks.

Anderson’s ratings have “recovered” a bit, but isn’t being the top rated non-FNC show the same as saying he was the first loser? I guess his excursion into “Nancy Grace land” with the in depth-coverage of the “Swimsuit Model Murder” paid off.

I wonder if he gained any new viewers on Friday night as a result of his “Midnight Booty Call?” That was a brilliant PR move by CNN don’t you think?

I wonder if viewers will be willing to forget about his “tea bag” comment long enough to tune into 360 next week during his visits to NOLA and Afghanistan? He is probably the only major anchor/reporter that has not visited Afghanistan this year and he hasn’t been back to NOLA in ages. I guess CNN is hoping these “trips” will raise his ratings. I will be very interested to see what they are next week.

Correction, Anderson will be in Afghanistan the first week in September.
