CNN: We Didn't Start the Fire - But it Can Help Our Ratings

Here's a memo that Drudge leaked about a CNN news meeting, where network President Joe Klein discusses how CNN should handle the California fires and the network's upcoming TV special on global warming.

Anderson Cooper heard his marching orders and acted accordingly. On October 23, during his show Anderson Cooper 360, he said:

“At the top of the next hour, as I said, the big picture. These fires are really a piece of it. Fire, drought, global warming, climate change, deforestation, it is all connected, tonight, 9:00 p.m. Eastern…‘Planet in Peril’ starts in just 30 minutes.”
