Crossfire
Crossfire was a debate program that aired on the liberal news network CNN and was canceled twice due to low ratings. The first iteration ran from 1982 until 2005, and the second iteration only ran from 2013-2014. CNN designed the show to have the premise that two liberals would debate two conservatives, and two guests would appear, one liberal and one conservative, hence the name Crossfire.
The original iteration of the show aired from 1982 until 2005 and throughout its run featured hosts such as Pat Buchanan and Tucker Carlson.
Eight years after the original iteration of the show was canceled, it reappeared in 2013 with former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and atheist S.E. Cupp representing the conservative side of the debate and avowed communist Van Jones and Stephanie Cutter represented the liberal side. In July 2014, this iteration of the program ended and no talks have been made to bring the show back.
