By Glenn Reynolds

MICKEY KAUS’S VICTORY DANCE: Pajamas’ Revenge: CNN’s Jon Klein Fired, Finally. “Klein’s departure is terrible news for kausfiles, which will no longer be able to get cheap items by deriding his latest preening jag.” Some background on Klein, here.

UPDATE: Reader Hugh Akston writes:

For about 18 months I’ve been wondering why CNN and MSNBC don’t move a little to the right since Fox is killing them in the ratings. I came to the conclusion that ideology trumps ratings. Today I learn that Zucker and Klein have been fired from NBC and CNN, respectively. Now I’m wondering if there’s a sea change occurring in the main stream media. Could this signal a move to the right (or at least to the center)? Call me crazy, but I think not…… I’m pretty sure that the main stream media will continue to bash the Tea Party and paint a rosy scenario for the economy. But, then again, maybe I’m wrong. Perhaps ratings will trump ideology after all. Capitalism is a wonderful thing.

Well, stay tuned.
