Anyone else really upset Eliott Spitzer's show on CNN was cancelled?

1. i was surprised they canceled it, but i didn't watch it. hearing what they seem to be replacing it

with makes me shake my head. but is not surprising. what passes for media is atrocious. I am disgusted.

2. I didn't know that. He had some good moments, that's for sure. nt

[madinmaryland]

3. I never saw the show. Was it any good?

[applegrove]

4. He is a liberal. And would give a great debate to the conservative guests he had on (he would often

win but be polite about it). He went in depth on about 4 or 5 stories a night. I liked him because he is so well informed.

9. I also liked the show.

I went on a hiatus from watching political tv for my mental health though and had not watched it in a good while.

12. It can get to you, can't it. I tend to do the same. There is so much BS going on

and so much of it is WTF. We don't hear solutions, all we hear are a bunch of children squabbling. US, the children of the world.

17. I realize he was a democratic governor of New York, but never tuned into

his show (with or without Katherine Parker). I always stuck with Keith or Lawrence and just never trusted CNN to actually put on something that was even semi-progressive.

5. Not me.

6. I watched it occasionally, if an interesting guest was on.

The ridiculous "adult cross-fire" show mentioned will NOT be watched by me. I thought I heard a CNN chief say that CNN was going to return to it's original mandate, as a serious news channel, not do "cross-fire" type shows. I like Spitzer, he's interesting, and hope he gets another show. Maybe on Current.

7. Totally

[Taverner]

8. Yes

The only person reporting on the real Wall Street right now

I am amazed he was given a show in the first place

[Oceansaway]

10. they're putting Erin Burnett in a

prime time real soon.....

[JDPriestly]

11. Maybe we could get him to run against Obama in the primary.

What has he got to lose? The facts about his personal life are well known. There probably isn't a whole lot more to embarrass him.

And even if there is, at this point, I'm not looking for a candidate who is pure when it comes to sex.

I'm looking for a candidate who will put the interests of ordinary Americans first. That's the only test I will apply at this time.

13. I am and I'm not surprised. He did a good job and CNN couldn't handle it.

[Atman]

14. People still watch CNN?

Wow. Who'd have thunk it?

15. maybe current could use him . . .

i was surprised when ko mentioned spitzer's show recently. dare i hope? although if it's on at 9 i will have to choose between spitzer and maddow.

i think cnn expected a crossfire-like show with spitzer and parker but she did not last. anyone know why? i only watched a couple of shows as they were opposite ko, so i don't know what happened.

20. Parker was a lightweight, and stiff on camera

She was scripted and stiff. Spitzer is about ten times smarter than Parker, and it showed.

16. No --

He's a disappointment.

[Raine]

18. Iam ... I didn't get to see it that often but

I like Spitzer and I'm really disgusted he was cancelled. :-(

[bigwillq]

19. No (nt)

[housewolf]

21. Not upset, but disappointed

I like Eliot Spitzer very much, and I hope he lands somewhere else soon (maybe Current? maybe MSNBC?)

[Fuzz]

22. Didn't even notice actually.
