Anderson Cooper, Chris Wallace and other prominent CNN hosts are facing bans under the network's current management, according to recent reports.
It's easy to believe, when you consider the dismal reviews these hosts give. Very few people watch CNN anymore, and these dishonest hosts are the main reason why.
Won't you get rid of the dead weight if you run the net?

CNN hosts Anderson Cooper, Chris Wallace and more on 'Chopping Block' amid new CEO Mark Thompson
Big talent will become history at CNN, insiders say, as new bosses at the surging network cut budgets and target wary anchors with big salaries.
A source says new CEO Mark Thompson is preparing for tough cuts to reshape the network as ratings decline — leaving Anderson Cooper, Chris Wallace, Wolf Blitzer and Jake Tapper facing dates with the axeman.
“Anderson knows he's on the chopping block because he makes $20 million a year. He's already started looking for a new gig!” a network insider exclusively tells In Touch. “Chris Wallace makes $8 million and he thinks he's a potential target too!”
Insiders say other network favorites — including $15 million man Blitzer and $8 million gent Tapper — are also preparing to boot!
The insider continues: “Everyone knows that the focus is on cutting costs.” “No one is safe!”
John Nolte of Breitbart News has more on this topic:
For the entire month of February, CNN averaged 479,000 daily viewers and 573,000 primetime viewers. Fox News earned nearly four times as many prime-time viewers as CNN, while MSNBC earned just over twice as many.
Fox & Friends Sunday had more total viewers (1.12 million) than CNN's top-rated February program, the pathetic Erin Burnett Tonight, at 743,000.
Those idiots at CNN are paying Anderson Cooper $20 million to attract 741,000 viewers, Tapper $8 million to attract 717,000 viewers, and Wolf Blitzer $15 million to attract less than 700,000 viewers. Who the hell knows what CNN is paying Chris Wallace $8 million?
To regular people, this is blatant madness, but regular people don't run CNN.
When you look at the big picture, it's amazing that these hosts, and even CNN itself, have somehow managed to last this long.
