CNN: canceling out its Jake Tapper hire with David Calian

The latest dumb move by a moribund, once-great media brand:

CNN announced yesterday that it has named David Chalian as its new Political Director.
Who is David Chalian? Prior to August 2012, he was the Washington bureau chief for Yahoo News. But Yahoo fired him after ABC News distributed, apparently inadvertently, a video in which Chalian said that Mitt and Ann Romney “aren’t concerned at all [about Hurricane Isaac]. They are happy to have a party with black people drowning.”

It's their network; they can do what they want.  But isn't there someone among the suits who would like to see an actual viewership instead of an infinitesimal blip?
