I’ll finally be getting to the morning news update in a moment. In the meantime, some fun gossip outside the range of my normal coverage. For those of you who suffer through CNN’s American Morning, or are at least familiar with the program, you may enjoy this.

The inside talk is that CNN is trying to “squeeze out” American Morning co-anchor Bill Hemmer in favor of Miles O’Brien. Apparently, Hemmer has lost much of what support he had this week with his public complaints about his offer to become CNN’s White House correspondent.

A network source says Hemmer, “has no idea how to do anything himself. When he does interviews, producers do everything, from writing his scripts to doing most of his interviews and footage is cut to make it look like he’s working.”

Or, maybe someone’s just been watching too much Broadcast News.
