Although Crossfire always features co-hosts who announce they represent "the right" and "the left," in practice the show has usually featured unabashed right wingers like John Sununu, Robert Novak or Pat Buchanan debating someone who more represents the center than the left. The latest "left" co-host, Michael Kinsley, has announced that he is leaving Crossfire to start and online magazine with MicroSoft, and close observers of the show fear that CNN will replace him with another more or less centrist advocate like Christopher Matthews, Bob Beckel, the Washington Post's Juan Williams or Time magazine's Margaret Carlson. If you watch Crossfire, and you'd like to express yourself to CNN on who might make a strong, bonafide advocate for the left (perhaps people like Christopher Hitchens, Barbara Ehrenreich or Jim Hightower), feel free to contact: Crossfire CNN 820 First Street Washington D.C. 20002 E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] You can also call the comments line in Atlanta: 404-827-1500
