They will have more viewers if it turns into another Jerry Springer like show as it was in SC.

The request for the mob to hold the pitchforks and torches to a minimum was a request by ComcastNBC...in specific wingnut Brian Williams and the results were a boring rating that had people running for other channels at a record pace. CNN isn't interested in discourse or debate...they're in this for ratings and nothing makes those numbers soar than a loud and rowdy mudfight...so you better believe the crowd will be hootin' and hollarin' for old Gneutered this evening. CNN only cares about ratings as it desperately seeks to be an "alternative" to faux noise.
