Today is the second anniversary of CNN’s “The Situation Room” with Wolf Blitzer, the three-hour weekday program. The Situation Room is must see television for political junkies, and it tops MSNBC’s Hardball with Chris Matthews daily when it airs and often beats Fox News in ratings.
Wolf is also accompanied by a great group of reporters including a number of CNN journalists and pundits including Jack Cafferty, Carol Costello, Suzanne Malveaux, Ali Velshi Dana Bash, Barbara Starr, John King, Candy Crowley, Bill Schneider, Abbi Tatton, Paul Begala and J.C. Watts as well as many others.
Blitzer has interviewed many people during
the
two years of TSR including Former Presidents Bill Clinton andJimmy Carter, Vice President Dick Cheney, Afghan President Hamid Karzai, U.S. Senators and Congress members to celebrities from Angelina Jolie, Michael Moore and many others. Over the past two year, The Situation Room has also brought us breaking news such as Hurricane Katrina coverage, Hezbollah/Israel War, the deaths of Anna Nicole Smith and Ladybird Johnson and the Minneapolis Bridge collapse.
the The Situation Room differs in some ways from similar cable news programs. For instance, the set includes the use of eight video screens. The show also makes use of live RSS feeds that scroll in the background at various times during the show. Live video feeds are commonly present in the show's format.
The Situation Room airs from 4:00 PM – 6:00 PM and again at 7:00 PM Monday to Friday. Happy Anniversary Situation Room!!! Keep up the great work and here is to many, many more!

OK so considering the crazy weather in New York today I think the statement “when it rains, it pours” is appropriate for the news I came across today. Sibila Vargas resigned from her position as a CNN Entertainment Correspondent/Anchor effective August 24, 2007. Once her contract with CNN is up Sibila will be starting a new job in Houston, Texas.
