CNN cancelled Crossfire. CNN-U.S. president Jonathan Klein has been saying all over (New York Times, "All Things Considered," AP) how much he agreed with Jon Stewart, who famously said while a guest on Crossfire that the show and others like it are "hurting America." Wonkette loves the posturing. Cynics presume the show's ratings dive influenced the decision.
Update: I'm sooo off the mark. Apparently, cancelling Crossfire's not the story; Tucker Carlson's leaving is. He's been a hot blog topic for weeks. One asked, "Who likes Tucker Carlson?" Well, actually, I do. I don't agree with him but he doesn't make me seethe the way Rich Lowry, the other young buck, does.
