I finally made it happen!<\/strong> In the post just prior to this one, I asked “Seriously, when is this low-life, ratings loser going to be canceled?”<\/em> I got my answer.<\/p>\n

You can all start thanking me now. I have been making the case for canceling Tucker Carlson’s show for two years. He has consistently had the worst performing program on MSNBC’s schedule. He was a drain on resources as well as the performance of his network colleagues. But it’s all over now<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\nNews Corpse readers know that I have been working tirelessly to get this twit axed. I produced slick presentations, with eye popping graphics describing why this show was bringing down the whole network:<\/p>\n

Tucker Carlson: The Biggest Loser<\/strong><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

<\/a><\/td>\nThere was also my signature pitch for Tucker’s banishment from TV. This analysis proved unequivocally that there was no business case for carrying this load of broadcast waste.<\/p>\n

It was a long slog, but now I can say with confidence that it was all worth it.<\/p>\n

Look out Glenn Beck – You’re next!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

\n<\/a><\/td>\n		Glenn Beck’s Ratings: Headline Snooze<\/a><\/p>\n

Glenn Beck poses the same problem at CNN’s Headline news as Tucker did at MSNBC. He is a reliable under-performer and an albatross around the necks of the shows adjacent to him.<\/p>\n

The only reason to give Beck a stay of execution would be fealty to the brand of caveman conservatism that he espouses. If CNN doesn’t cancel this stinker they will have settled, once and for all, the speculation as to whether they are a compromised media lapdog with an agenda aimed at placating the powerful and debasing journalism.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
