Did John Stewart Get Tucker Carlson Fired? It sure seems like it. CNN said goodbye to pundit Tucker Carlson on Wednesday, and with him likely the "Crossfire" program that has been the granddaddy of high-volume political debate shows on cable television. The bow-tied wearing conservative pundit got into a public tussle last fall with comic Jon Stewart, who has been critical of cable political programs that devolve into shoutfests. He said all of the cable networks, including CNN, have overdosed on programming devoted to arguing over issues. Klein said he wants more substantive programming that is still compelling. "I guess I come down more firmly in the Jon Stewart camp," Klein told The Associated Press. Read It: This move should come as a warning to all conservatives. John Stewart and his smartass minions, (such as myself), will crush you all into a fine powder with our witty, trenchant social commentary.
