"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,'" Variety's Michael Learmonth scoops. The announcement will be made today.
"Glenn Beck is the next piece of the puzzle," Ken Jautz says. "Glenn's style is self-deprecating, cordial; he says he'd like to be able to disagree with guests and part as friends. It's conversational, not confrontational."
Strangely enough, "a timeslot has not been set" for the new program, which will premiere in April. "Jautz said any of the existing shows could be shuffled to accommodate Beck but none will be cancelled."
> Beck's Web site promises a "major announcement" at 10am today...

CNN is clearly changing its persona.
If Tyranny and Oppression come to this land, it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy. CNN ping!
If Tyranny and Oppression come to this land, it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy. Too bad CNN was sold to corporate interests.. back in the FR days of course I bought into the propaganda .. bring back TED TURNER!!
Humm . . . I think that Bush and the neocons haven't been able to gain much traction according to the polls. I figured that something was up when they pulled Cheney out of his bunker and sent him on the road. Then, they put the first "lady" (as dumb and dull as the guy she married, IMO) out there to support the fascist police state agenda. I suppose that we shouldn't be too surprised that the corporate media has been order to the front also. Richard W.
"fight to the last Is it my imagination or has Condoleeza become even more obnoxious than usual?
If Tyranny and Oppression come to this land, it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy. The local Air America radio station here in the D.C. area broadcasts CNN news spots on the hour and half-hour. Yesterday, after all the news spots on Gore's speech, CNN immediately added the comment that unwarranted surveillance had also taken place under Clinton and Carter (with no mention of the possibility that what happened under those presidents was legal at the time, as I believe it was.)
Disgusting .. sounding more and more like Fox News.. Time Warner.. quite a list of assets.. http://www.answers.com/topic/list-of-assets-owned-by-time-warner
So it's out with Aaron Brown, in with Glenn Beck. Set remote: delete CNN.
4: Clinton, Carter also authorized warrantless searches of U.S. citizens Another tactic conservatives have used to defend the Bush administration has been to claim that it is not unusual for a president to authorize secret surveillance of U.S. citizens without a court order, asserting that Democratic presidents have also done so. For example, on the December 21 edition of Fox News's Special Report, host Brit Hume claimed that former presidents Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton issued executive orders "to perform wiretaps and searches of American citizens without a warrant." But as the ThinkProgress weblog noted on December 20, executive orders on the topic by Clinton and Carter were merely explaining the rules established by FISA, which do not allow for warrantless searches on "United States persons." Subsequent reports by NBC chief foreign affairs correspondent Andrea Mitchell and The Washington Post also debunked the conservative talking point while noting that the claim was highlighted in the December 21 RNC press release. From ThinkProgress, which documented how internet gossip Matt Drudge selectively cited from the Clinton and Carter executive orders to falsely suggest they authorized secret surveillance of U.S. citizens without court-obtained warrants: What Drudge says: Clinton, February 9, 1995: "The Attorney General is authorized to approve physical searches, without a court order" What Clinton actually signed: Section 1. Pursuant to section 302(a)(1) [50 U.S.C. 1822(a)] of the [Foreign Intelligence Surveillance] Act, the Attorney General is authorized to approve physical searches, without a court order, to acquire foreign intelligence information for periods of up to one year, if the Attorney General makes the certifications required by that section. That section requires the Attorney General to certify is the search will not involve "the premises, information, material, or property of a United States person." That means U.S. citizens or anyone inside of the United States. The entire controversy about Bush's program is that, for the first time ever, allows warrantless surveillance of U.S. citizens and other people inside of the United States. Clinton's 1995 executive order did not authorize that. Drudge pulls the same trick with Carter. What Drudge says: Jimmy Carter Signed Executive Order on May 23, 1979: "Attorney General is authorized to approve electronic surveillance to acquire foreign intelligence information without a court order." What Carter's executive order actually says: 1-101. Pursuant to Section 102(a)(1) of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 (50 U.S.C. 1802(a)), the Attorney General is authorized to approve electronic surveillance to acquire foreign intelligence information without a court order, but only if the Attorney General makes the certifications required by that Section. What the Attorney General has to certify under that section is that the surveillance will not contain "the contents of any communication to which a United States person is a party." So again, no U.S. persons are involved. If Tyranny and Oppression come to this land, it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy. Set remote: delete CNN. Seriously.
If Tyranny and Oppression come to this land, it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy. Drudge makes no pretense of being nonpartisan. CNN does.
Set remote: delete CNN. I know.. sick isnt it? And betcha the Freepers are still moaning about how liberal CNN is..
As does Fox .. fair and balanced..
I find that woman so painful to look at, that I rarely even follow whatever it is she is doing or saying. She isn't much more than an echo chamber anyway. No one is going to deviate from the neocon fear and war mongering script. Richard W.
With Glenn Beck, CNN can no longer even pretend to make that claim. Brown is gone, will Lou Dobbs be next?
If Tyranny and Oppression come to this land, it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy. At the very first I was impressed with her accomplishments, honest. But the more I read and the more she speaks, the more repellent she becomes. And, she's in way over her head.
If Tyranny and Oppression come to this land, it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy. Lou Dobbs was on at 6:00 and then repeated at 11:00. They have now moved that repeat show from 11;00 to the early morning hours when no one is sure to see it. Richard W.
Interesting paragraph on Rice and her NSC on p. 3 of James Risen's book State of War.
He may not have long then. He's the only one worth listening to on CNN.
If Tyranny and Oppression come to this land, it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy. Glenn Beck interviewed a caller who claimed to have worked as an "intelligence officer" and to have "extracted intelligence" from U.S.-held prisoners by torturing them. The caller said his preferred methods of torture included burning the retinas of prisoners' eyes with high-powered halogen lamps and blowing out prisoners' eardrums with high-pressure water and air. He also claimed to have known "a contractor that did drilling on live teeth." After hearing the caller describe these torture techniques, Beck responded, "I've got to tell you, I appreciate your service." During the interview, Beck asked the caller if he ever had trouble sleeping at night. When the caller answered, "No," Beck responded, "Good for you." He later added, "[W]hen all is said and done, I'm glad people like you are on our side."

The National Security Council (NSC) at the White House, created during the Cold War to manage the enormous military, intelligence, and foreign policy apparatus of the U.S. government, has been weak and dysfunctional in the Bush administration, according to many officials who have served in the administration. As national security advisor during Bush's first term, Condoleezza Rice had an excellent personal relationship with the president but lacked sufficient power and authority to get crucial things done. Foreign policy was often forged by small groups in unlikely places, including the Office of the Vice President and the Office of the Secretary of Defense. Rice was forced to play catch-up and to accept professional indignities, particularly at the hands of Donald Rumsfeld. Some of her chagrined aides believe others in her place would have resigned. Her loyalty was rewarded, however, when Bush named her Secretary of State at the start of his second term.
