Rumors have been circulating in the D.C. bureau for months about the prospect that Inside Politics could be killed off at the same time as Crossfire. “In their old niche would be a 20 minute or so political ‘mega-segment’ that would be inserted into a newly expanded Wolf Blitzer Reports,” a tipster asserts. “Klein always supported the idea that the network’s daily political aspect would be put under the Blitzer team’s creative control.”
