it's probably a good fit as CNN continues to try to outdo Fox.

They probably hired him because of his American Idol fame and after the discovery of Susan Boyle on the British version, he got a lot of media attention here.

She made him famous actually and it's doubtful CNN even bothered to look into his past. Although I'm sure they knew he was a Tabloid Journalist who worked for Murdoch.

Ted Turner never should have sold CNN.
