AH YES, A CORDIAL VOICE. I have to admit I no longer watch CNN -- they always seem to be covering something I've already read about online, or else have these skeezy talk shows on -- so I've pretty much missed the Glenn Beck era at the once venerable network. Imagine my surprise then to learn about the reasons he was brought on a year ago. According to Variety, Headline News president Ken Jautz described it thusly:
"Glenn's style is self-deprecating, cordial; he says he'd like to be able to disagree with guests and part as friends. It's conversational, not confrontational."Ah yes. Calling a U.S. senator a "bitch" on the air. So very cordial.
