Where's the View from the Left, with Kos, Stoller, Hamsher and others?
yeah, I can't wait to hear the line-up on View from the Left. sounds like it will be a great show.

Given that there will be no "View from the Left," will the "View from the Right" special be airing on a new network, CNNFOX? All bias, all bull.
More like "View from the Losers".
Ha! No wonder you dumb bastards are in third place and sinking fact.
Larry King gets his @ss kicked a few more weeks and you folks will probably be begging for 'Bamamercials. But by then, you'll be scratching your heads wondering why you were kicked off the plane.
Where is the "View from the Left?" Talk about biased media! 30 minute program for the right-wing to spew their propaganda with no counter-balance from the progressive left.
Nice job CNN. And you wonder why you are getting trounced in the ratings.
Okay, so we'll have a View from the Right reflecting on the "strength of the McCain/Palin ticket" and what's next for the conservative movement. But no corresponding View from the Left reflecting on the "strength of the Obama/Biden ticket" and what's next for the progressive movement. You do know there's another side to the political coin in this country, right? Next thing you know, CNN will be calling itself "fair and balanced."
Oohhh, a roundtable attended by noam chomsky, robert jensen, john pilger, howard zinn and naomi wolf... i can't wait! go cnn....
wait...
there's no voices from the left?
don't tell me... you think wolf blitzer is a leftwing voice. LOL
Is there a link to the actual CNN press release? I can't find it, nor can I find this information on the CNN website.
Has CNN been bought by Murdoch?
There seems to be one side to all stories, the right wing wing-nut side. This programming decision is too blatantly biased to denied, so it will be interesting to see how they go about denying it.. silence or contorting words and their meanings.
really disgraceful and getting worse..
This is so sad. How can this network's officers look the public in the eye. You want to know why some are pushing the Fairness Doctrine to be returned? It's because of biased crap like this.
CNN could be in trouble on election night. If you
are a Democrat why watch CNN. I am so tired of
Lou Dobbs and the liberal media comments and
rants against congressional democrats. If you
want to see if the Democrats win why would you
tune into CNN. When this election is over I hope
CNN gets away from the right wing spin machine.
