'Raaaacist' Report: CNN execs complained that audience for Soledad O’Brien’s show was “too ethnic”

◼ Alternate headline: “Not too many OWS members watching Soledad O’Brien’s show.” - Allahpundit/HotAir

Although I wonder if the most revealing bit in the excerpt is the half-assed idea that the difference in buzz between O’Brien’s show and “Morning Joe” is … the panel format. Does anyone smarter than the CNN programming trust actually believe that? Scarborough gets buzz because (a) he’s a former congressman who knows heavy hitters in Washington and does terrifically well at getting them to come on the show and (b) he’s a Republican who’s best known for criticizing Republicans, which the media always deeply respects. What’s more buzzworthy, a panel featuring Soledad talking to random CNN contributors about the budget or a panel featuring a former GOP representative telling the press what it wants to hear about how the NRA is going to destroy the Republican Party? C’mon.
