• CNN Insiders Ticked 'New Day' Co-Anchor Kate Bolduan Replaced Permanently on Maternity Leave

    Jeff Zucker, CNN's head honcho, has ruffled some feathers over at the cable news network not only for replacing a familiar morning face, but by doing it in a shady way. "New Day's" Kate Bolduan has been on maternity leave since September, and not only has she been moved from that prime co-anchoring spot, but Zucker did it on a day when it would be buried beneath the real drama unfolding in Paris. According to a report by the "New York Post," Bolduan will be permanently replaced by Alisyn Camerota, who has been filling in for her during her maternity leave. Apparently, Zucker feels that Camerota is a better fit beside fellow co-anchors Chris Cuomo and Michaela Pereira. Bolduan has not been completely fired from CNN, though, as she will now co-host "@This Hour" at 11 a.m., but that is hardly the gig Bolduan was expecting to return to. CNN insiders are said to be ticked off at the way Zucker has handled things. Replacing an anchor in a key time slot is generally considered news, so the fact that it came out literally in the middle of the hostage situations that were unfolding in Paris is no coincidence. Instead, it is considered a shady move intended to hide the fact that Bolduan was cut from the morning news show while on leave and tending to her new daughter.

  • Ferguson Protesters Riot, Loot, Set Fires as Grand Jury Does Not Indict Darren Wilson in Michael Brown's Death

    The worst-case scenario is what has unfolded in Ferguson, Missouri, after a 12-person grand jury failed to indict officer Darren Wilson on any criminal charges in the death of 18-year-old Michael Brown in August. While Brown's family pled for peaceful protests, that was not what several black militia groups, such as the RgB Black Rebels, had in mind. Police in riot gear failed to control protestors, according to AOL, who went from throwing rocks to torching several of their own local businesses in just a few hours last night, Nov. 24. Prosecuting attorney Bob McCulloch said the jury met on 25 separate days over the course of three months, hearing more than 70 hours of testimony from about 60 witnesses, including three medical examiners and experts on blood, toxicology and firearms. In the end, they ultimately believed Wilson's account of what had occurred between him and Brown. It is also important to note that the physical evidence also guided the jurors in making their final decision. Many seemed to feel that McCulloch completely dropped the ball in his defiant delivery of the grand jury's decision. He was in a position to attempt to unite both sides by his tone and empathy for the loss of Brown's life and how it has crushed the teen's family. Instead, McCulloch seemed to inflame protestors even more and the end result was disastrous, according to Yahoo!
