The fault you made is you think most Independents are centrists, they are not. Most Independents are actually right leaning or conservative. A lot of people stopped calling themselves republicans recently, they may have all turned into Independents but they are mostly still conservative.

Some think John King is the best CNN has, and why not put him in the prime time slot? Probably good strategy. Still don't think he is going to get the ratings Fox News has in that time slot. Shep fills that timeslot there, and he is noteably a Democrat voice over there with good ratings. Shep does a great job covering live news coverage and great interviews. John King is only known as the weekend news at CNN. He has his work cut out for him switching to primetime. But best of luck.

Are you Jon Klein? Why do you keep using the word “forced”? If you read the press release, the REASON they put King in the slot was so they could attempt to retain their “straight-news” coverage.

Anderson Cooper being the worst culprate of them all. Campbell Brown more so lately. LKL creeps it in there, and its a shame because Larry is known for just asking the questions. But before Joy Behar got her show on HLN she was a frequent guest and sub host for Larry. Plus, Larry has had on Bill Maher more times than I count as a guest. When was the last time a conservative guest has had so much air time on LKL? Anonymous says:

He for sure would pounce all over Matthews in the ratings. As for his Sunday show, he'll probably still be doing it, why wouldn't he? Like I said, his success will be dependent on how much "leeway" the corporate fools give him. If they place a "choker" around his neck and keep the reigns pulled in tight, then (in the overall sense) his show will fail.

Overall, the CNN anchors are far less partisian than those on other cable news networks. CNN has some of the best reporters and greatest worldwide coverage in the business. They have a terrific infrastructure. Hopefully, they can figure out how to best use it and get sufficient ad revnues to support it.

Are you Jon Klein? Why do you keep using the word "forced"? If you read the press release, the REASON they put King in the slot was so they could attempt to retain their "straight-news" coverage. Do Wolf Blitzer, Larry King, Anderson Cooper, or Campbell Brown regularly give their opinion on the air - even though their competitors do so on a daily basis? ...didn't think so. Says who?

He is now venturing into primetime opinion-based programming, where he will be forced to give his opinion. Anonymous, King’s 4 hour show is a straight news report.

The left shoots itself in the foot, once again. Way to go, CNN! Shep Smith will get more viewers now.
