Klein Blasts Fox, Sun Rises in East

On a television show last week, I was asked who in modern journalism I admire and I ended up giving a rather convoluted answer: I said I admired Jon Klein‘s vision for CNN, as distinct from actually admiring the work going on at CNN. It’s hard to listen to Klein in the abstract and not be impressed with what he wants to do with CNN and returning to it a hard news-gathering operation–but then nearly always it sets one up for disappointment when you actually turn on CNN.
