FNC Should Be “A Little Nervous; But CNN Is A “Solid Ratings Disaster”

It’s one of the best Jon Klein quotes yet: “They sound a little nervous,” Klein said to the Dallas Morning News over the weekend, referring to Fox News. “And guess what, they should be. Because we haven’t even started trying yet.” Which begs the question: When will they start trying?

Here’s what a Fox insider told TVNewser today: “Nervous — Huh? Actually we’re laughing — Jon’s worked hard at molding CNN into a solid ratings disaster, which continues to provide endless amusement.”
