Quote:
CNN’s Headline News has signed conservative radio host Glenn Beck for an hourlong talkshow in hopes of building on the ratings momentum generated by a revamped primetime lineup anchored by “Nancy Grace.”

So the article says that the reasoning behind this decision is to win more viewers from O’Reilly and FOX news. Naturally in business terms this seems like this could potentially work. However what this seems to indicate is that the newschannels in the US are now more concerned with ratings rather than quality of output. Hence we have a new conservative host. I never expected it from CNN, I’ve always seen it as a trustworthy, objective and impartial newstation. But this hiring could potentially add the radio show style and conservative bias. Newschannels should stay away from this bias – conservative and liberal alike. They should remain comitted to delivering the news.
