Jon Stewart Wins
CNN Fires 'Crossfire' Host Tucker Carlson.
"I guess I come down more firmly in the Jon Stewart camp," Klein told The Associated Press.

Update: According to this New York Times article there is actually some real truth to this:
Mr. Klein said he wanted to move CNN away from what he called "head-butting debate shows," which have become the staple of much of all-news television in the prime-time hours, especially at the top-rated Fox News Channel.
"CNN is a different animal," Mr. Klein said. "We report the news. Fox talks about the news. They're very good at what they do and we're very good at what we do."
Mr. Klein said last night, "I agree wholeheartedly with Jon Stewart's overall premise." He said he believed that especially after the terror attacks on 9/11, viewers are interested in information, not opinion.
