Goodbye Political Coverage on CNN
First they get rid of "Crossfire" (perhaps a good thing, but they could have salvaged it), then they let Judy Woodruff go, and now this?
Like "Crossfire" before it, "Capital Gang" will leave CNN's schedule this week. The political roundtable -- featuring Robert Novak, Mark Shields and others -- has been on the air for 16 years. But like Novak's other show, "Crossfire," it has reached the end of the road as CNN attempts to retool itself in content and ratings under the leadership of CNN/U.S. president Jon Klein. Its last show will be Saturday. In its place is an expanded version of "On The Story," a one-hour weekend show originally launched to provide the news channel's female correspondents with a platform to talk about the major stories of the week.It looks like I'll be watching a lot more of Jim Lehrer and perhaps a little more MSNBC.
