"Beat the Press" panelists sound off on their rants and raves of the week: Topics include the Tea Party closes its doors to the media; Candy Crowley's new gig at CNN; demanding more transparency from South Hadley school officials following a student's suicide; Jon Stewart and Bill O'Reilly square off; and Katie Couric's photoshoot for Harpar's Bazaar.

There's an ebb and flow to everything, even cable news.

And with the 2010 election season beginning to gear up - we've certainly kicked it off here in Massachusetts - CNN has made a couple of solid programming decisions.

First, there was the decision to drop John King into Lou Dobbs' chair when Dobbs decided to flee the network in November. On Sunday's "State of the Union," King has proven himself capable, well-informed, mild-mannered, and entirely watchable. In a year in which both civility and objectivity look to be in short supply, King's 7 p.m. show will be a strong addition to CNN's nightly line-up.

Second, the network has followed up King's departure with today's announcement that Candy Crowley - one of the best political reporters on television - will take over King's Sunday program. Crowley does things her own way, and her talent is finally earning her what she has long deserved.
