• “The Lead” is just going to get buried given CNN’s low ratings.

• Good luck to Jake and CNN. I hope there is at least some success ahead for both.

• They should hire Keith Olbermann, it would be one of the few networks he hasn’t worked at yet. I’ve even got a great title for the show;

  Loonatic: with Keith Olbermann

  If Zucker wants to attract some new viewers he’ll have to hire some big name conservative hosts, which will never happen.

• CNN deserves the success it’s working so hard to gain back. They do truly have some of the most talented news journalists on TV. I hope this works out for Jake Tapper. I’m not that aware of his work but I’m open to his addition.

• I read Jake’s new book about the 8 marines in Afganistan and it was great reporting. I am really looking forward to his show because of his honesty and humility

• Jake is a great reporter and should have been tapped for the ABC Sunday show that George scooted into. He is one of the few reporters who has enough integrity to challenge Carney about many of his ridiculous statements. Hope he does well.
