from Media Alliance, some text from MoveOn
In our increasingly consolidated media environment, the news channel CNN has championed itself as a unique source for fact-based reporting. MA has been critical of their coverage on numerous issues, especially the role of big business and the U.S. government in shaping the news, and have urged them to avoid partisanship and the conservative bent of most outlets.
This week CNN Headline News announced plans to give an hour of airtime every day to right-wing talk radio "personality" Glenn Beck. This is a far cry from the needed work to strengthen CNN's news offerings with quality, non-partisan journalism.
Variety magazine reports CNN "will look to build Beck into the type of TV personality that could siphon viewers from Bill O'Reilly, Joe Scarborough and other conservative hosts."
ACTION: Please contact CNN right away. Say no to CNN hiring right-wing "personality" Glenn Beck as part of the Headline News and no to CNN trying to become a Fox News clone. We need more balance and independence in our news - more journalism and less partisanship and cults of personality.

Glenn Beck is about as controversial as it gets. The media watchdog group Media Matters for America have collected just a few of his outlandish comments:
On families of the victims of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks: "[T]his is horrible to say, and I wonder if I'm alone in this—you know, it took me about a year to start hating the 9-11 victims' families? Took me about a year."
On Hurricane Katrina survivors who remained in New Orleans: "And that's all we're hearing about, are the people in New Orleans. Those are the only ones that we're seeing on television are the scumbags...It's just a small percentage of those who were left in New Orleans, or who decided to stay in New Orleans, and they're getting all the attention."
Talking to a caller who claimed to have tortured prisoners in U.S. custody: "I've got to tell you, I appreciate your service ... Good for you. Good for—I mean, good for you...I have to tell you, when all is said and done, I'm glad people like you are on our side."
On the father of Nick Berg, American civilian executed in Iraq: "The want to be a better person today than I was yesterday says he's a dad, he's grieving, but I don't buy that. I'm sorry, I don't buy it. I think he is grieving, but I think he's a scumbag as well. I don't like this guy at all.
