CROSSFIRE’s daily debate question. Via
Twitter using #CrossfireReturns, on CNN’s
live blog, or by commenting to CNN’s CROSSFIRE page on Facebook, users will be able
vote in real time. Results will be
announced during the program.
Tonight, users will be
able to join in the debate with hosts Newt Gingrich and Stephanie
Cutter and guests Sen.
Rand Paul (R-KY) and Sen.
Robert Menendez (D-NJ), by voting on whether Congress should approve the
president’s plan to strike Syria. User
results will air during the premiere program.
The first edition of
CROSSFIRE will debut at 6:30p.m. ET, immediately following The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer,
which will air at 6:00p.m. ET, with Wolf
Blitzer’s interview with President Barack Obama.

conversation and follow along in the live blog powered by Scribble Live, which

S.E. Cupp and Newt Gingrich? Click.
CNN better have a backup plan. Can you say outdated ?CNN 's advertising is a joke. Great minds. Really ? Unless it is a sports event, awards show, Breaking Bad or Game of Thrones, it won't generate social media buzz. Just because people comment on FB & Twitter does not mean they will actually watch the show. ED & Politics Nation have been doing the same thing for at least 2 weeks now.
This is a CNN disaster.
Oh, this was bad.
Pundits don't make good television. The buzz is pretty negative for CNN. There are now shows like Morning Joe. Proving you can have intelligent political talk without ideology dominating. Also, you have the Daily Show and Colbert. Another bad decision by CNN management. The Cycle is how younger people talk about topics. Hipsters know the deal.
