Little known fact, as everyone who watched, read, or worked with David Gergen mourns the loss of this elegant, erudite public servant and sage political observer: the last time a @CNN show outdrew @FoxNews for a full year was 2008, when both The Situation Room and @AC360 pulled that off. The highest rated segment in Anderson's show - meaning the highest rated 7 minutes on the entire CNN schedule that year - was "Strategy Session," a nightly conversation between David and Ed Rollins. No fancy bells and whistles, no pre-programmed partisan food fights - just two old pros making sense of the mayhem of that day's Obama vs. McCain campaign. They were emblematic of our CNN strategy - be the most reliable source of information and analysis anywhere, with anchors keeping their opinions to themselves, facilitating smart conversations among people who think for themselves instead of spinning for unseen masters. Critics thought we were crazy not to go down the opinion ratholes of Fox and MSNBC, but we went on to win every political night of that campaign (primary coverage, conventions, debates, election night, Obama's inauguration), and the full year at 5p and 10p, thanks to innovations like the then-new Magic Wall and the CNN YouTube presidential debates, and the savvy and smarts of the inimitable Mr. Gergen. Thank you for that, David, and your sage private counsel, class, and friendship. https://t.co/7zRT8Pgwkd?
