Cable Wars

Yesterday Richard Johnson of the NY Post's Page Six reported that "ratings-challenged CNN is flipping out over a taunting Fox News Channel ad that cattily compares the also-ran cable network's dapper newsman Anderson Cooper to Paris Hilton." You can see the crew from Fox & Friends having a good laugh at the ad - and mocking Cooper - in the clip below:

This morning on Drudge's site, it looks like CNN has tried to strike back with the following ad (it's animated but I've captured three of the stills):

In related news, Mary Ann Akers of the washingtonpost.com says Obama has retaliated against FOX News for repeating the madrassa story by freezing them out - a move much to the liking of the hard core left.
