Mo Rocca's Death Panel

Does anyone see a pattern here?  ABC hiring comedian Steve Harvey for "Good Morning America."  Comedian Jon Stewart voted the most trusted man in America. 

CNN ahead of the curve breaking the mold with D.L. Hughley Breaks The News.  Had Jon Klein sat on his hands, CNN could be billing itself the most trusted name in news comedy.
