Is Erin Burnett Replacing John King? CNN (And King’s Improving Ratings) Suggest Otherwise

It would serve him and a lot of other left wing a-holes right. His show has basically been co-opted for the past 3 plus years from being ” John King USA.” to ” Barack Obama’s amerika “.

Maybe she will replace client number nine. I so recall when she was on with Mourning Joe and claimed “the monkey in the middle” when referring to President Bush (pictured in between two of his friends)…and yet, her MSNBC colleagues didn’t call her a racist – go figure.

Sounds to me as though a good ‘ over the knee ‘ spanking is called for.

Ah, how predictable this would be. Erin Burnett– who repeatedly called George Bush a “monkey” in on-the-air broadcast — would be one more in a long line of liberal TV hosts at CNN. All of whom have the same opinions and biases, and are mind-numbingly predictable in their smug advocacy of the party line.

CNN will never regain its lost reputation and audience until it stops packing the newsroom, top to bottom, with liberal Democrats. Anyone with half a brain can see the ingrained CNN bias, which becomes all the more annoying when combined with the self-righteous and smug pretense that they call the news “straight down the middle.” How stupid do they think the viewers are? This network has ALWAYS put advocacy and political litmus tests above journalism, from the day Ted Turner set up shop. As a result, they have destroyed their credibility and lost most of their audience, but still play the same disreputable games over and over again.

Mark my words. CNN is in such deep denial that they will never fix their problems. Their future is more and more marginalization. And then, finally, they will be merged with some other news operation (CBS or the New York Times or whatever) that has the same underlying problems. But even putting two diseased organizations together will not create one healthy one.

John King and Wolf Blitzer are the only two old school, straight shooting journalists at CNN.
Everybody else on CNN is either a far-left hack or some foreigner who trashes “post” America.

Hey, you could have mentioned that her former co-host at CNBC, Mark Haines, died the other day at 65.

He and she were a great team.

Yes, Erin Burnett did make an anti-Bush joke once, and promptly apologized. So in my opinion she should not be lumped in with people who make their living by insulting conservative or Republican leaders.

If CNN gives Burnett a “News Hour” (or two) which is fair and balanced, it could mean the rebirth of CNN and of cable news. Many of us on the right, and presumably on the left too, would like to get some straight news, without it being filtered through the biases of a Sean Hannity or Chris Matthews.

Given the total collapse of network news, Erin Burnett could conceivably be the #1 name in TV news within the year — if CNN does not screw this up.

And it could be the final nail in the MSNBC coffin.

The passing of Mark Haines has been covered and discussed in another thread. Erin returned to CNBC Tuesday evening for the remembrance show that they hastily put together. And she was on-air earlier that day by phone from LA, where she had just arrived from Singapore. She said that she’d emailed Mark before taking off from Singapore, then landed in LA and wondered why he had not answered back. That was when she learned he had passed away. She managed to hold it together very well Tuesday, and kept from breaking out into tears by recalling one or two very funny anecdotes about Mark.

They were a great team. But for Erin, life must go on, and that is the subject of this article and this thread.

Thanks for bringing me up to date. I’ve watched CNBC for years, and missing Mark Haines is painful. I have family named Haynes, and we always claimed the “Haines” didn’t spell theirs right. I adopted Erin Burnett in my mind as a fantastic grand daughter I loved her so much. So clever, so unspoiled, so bright. I’m a tea party member and I never noticed her being too liberal. When she left for her promotion to CNN I was heart-broken, then soon after Mark Haines died. Oh my. I’m older, an investor, and CNBC has been my daily grind. I’ll look forward to seeing Erin on CNN, which I watch quite a bit, also. She seems such a class act, I can’t see her calling Bush a monkey, and I guess it is taken out of context. Bush lives in our neck of the woods, and Laura Bush is one of my all time favorites. Call me old fashioned, call me too conservative, but call me a true American at the same time.

Erin loved it when the stock market was tanking under Bush!!  Erin is a liberal commie babe!  And when the stock market was tanking under this thug in the white house she’d just brush over it like it wasn’t happening making all kinds of excuses for him.  Go Figure,  I’d love to hear the babe refer to the thud as the ‘monkey in the middle’ now!  And then watch all the socialist/commies jump UGLY! LOL!!!!  BUT, it will never happen cuz the chick will never do that to her man.1  Oh no!

I love John King, he is real class.  If he is axed I will be really upset.  I think Erin O’brien should be cast in the 1st half hour on the 11:00 o’clock show with the new guy who was on with her tonight on the 2nd half hour.  I thought was he very good and he made want to listen to what he had to say.
I don’t think Erin O’Brien is sure enough of herself to have two “1″ hour shows daily.  Of course the best of the best is “Anderson Cooper” .
I am not so sure about Soledad O’brien, I watch her in the morning and she seems really silly at times. Suzanne is so professional and interesting.

Thanks
