CNN Hires Conservative Glenn Beck

Looking to siphon viewers from Bill O'Reilly, Joe Scarborough and other conservative hosts, CNN has hired former top 40 deejay and nationally syndicated radio host, the ultra-conservative Glenn Beck, to do an hour-long talk show.

Since CNN is a bastion of liberalism, I expect this move will produce considerable grumbling and maybe even fireworks. Beck will surely find an oil and water work environment.
