'CNN Opinion' Is Dead. Long Live CNN Opinionating.

Well, the delusion is over. CNN has announced an end to the ludicrous fantasy. CNN Opinion is no more. And I mean “CNN Opinion” is no more. Obviously CNN itself is all opinion, and lies and bullying to back up that opinion, but the vertical has shuttered.

Now that I’m looking at CNN Opinion for the first time (that’s not a joke), you can tell it was nothing more than an affirmative action program for leftists like Dean Obeidallah—people who could never survive on merit.

Quite a few years ago, when CNN engaged the blogosphere far more than they do now, CNN Opinion would run unpaid contributions from a fairly diverse set of voices. I had more than a few run on the site, for instance, usually shorter takes on hot topics of the moment. But I haven't even bothered to look at the section in years, because John's assessment of it is pretty accurate.
