The O'Briens Out at CNN


CNN announced yesterday that "American Morning" anchors Soledad O'Brien and Miles O'Brien will be replaced by John Roberts and Kiran Chetry. We don't want to come down too hard on the O'Briens. God knows there are "anchors" out there that are bigger dimbulbs (insert Faux News slam here). But the O'Briens in style (too much) and substance (too little) are symptomatic of the breed of newsreaders, if not outright hacks, that have replaced journalists in the tv/cable medium. Not sure yet if the switch to Roberts and Chetry is a trade up or not. Meanwhile, why does CNN continue to carry that unspeakably awful Glenn Beck?
