He's a loser, baby

This is just mind blowing to me. Why in the hell would CNN, one of the most respected names in journalism, hire a psychotic right-winger like Glenn Beck? One example of his rampant bullshit is how he recently said we should nuke Iran.

I couldn't tell if he was joking or serious, but even so, it's alarming that CNN would be willing to hire someone and put them in a position to exert enormous influence in the journalistic sphere, and then he calls for nuclear warfare. Even jokingly, it's not in good taste. This is like getting Howard Stern to replace Anderson Cooper; it just isn't a good idea.

I do have a question for those of you who might happen across this tiny piece of blog and would like to (perhaps) comment: Why is CNN slowly moving towards sensationalism? First it was Nancy Grace, who in her own way is worse than Bill O'Reilly (at least O'Reilly's kind of fun to watch because he's so psychotic; Grace just makes me cringe). And now it's this Beck shmuck. What the fuck is going ON?

Seriously, if anyone has any ideas, aside from simply "Sensationalism sells and news is a business and so they have to up their bottom line," please clue me in. I would love for that to not be the real reason.
