In an interview with CNN's Kiran Chetry on American Morning, Gop candidate Michele Bachmann dismissed the idea that President Obama could simply move to raise the debt ceiling by invoking the 14th Amendment, saying to do so would make him effectively "a dictator." Bachmann described any move to unilaterally end the immediate debt crisis unconstitutional. “Congress has the power to lay and collect taxes," Bachmann said. "It's Congress that does the spending. The President is prohibited to do that. If he had the power to do that he would effectively be a dictator."...

A few weeks ago, I discovered that CNN's American Morning co-anchor Kiran Chetry has an unusually devoted fan base, who had a little panic attack when she took a couple of days off. Such intense loyalty deserves closer examination, so I visited the set of American Morning Friday morning, and later interviewed Kiran about her news-heavy morning show, journalism in general, and that John Roberts clip.

Apparently, CNN's American Morning anchor Kiran Chetry has a loyal fan base, and they were a little bit worried about her after a two-day absence. Upon seeing weekend CNN Newsroom anchor Tj Holmes filling in for Chetry Tuesday morning, a bunch of them rushed to the internet to find out "What happened to Kiran Chetry?" We're happy to report that Chetry was just enjoying a long weekend off, and will be back on the air Wednesday morning.

Changes are coming to CNN's "American Morning." John Roberts, "American Morning" co-host alongside Kiran Chetry, is set to leave the show, CNN head Ken Jautz announced on Tuesday. Roberts wants to stay in Atlanta to be near his fiancé, Jautz explained in a memo to staff, and a reporting role for him is being discussed. Jamie Kraft, a producer for both "American Morning" and "AC 360," is leaving, too. The bigger change coming for "American Morning," though, is in its tone. "I’ve asked for the show to be more upbeat and faster-paced and...

Shirley Sherrod is angry and justifiably so. However, while some recipients of her scorn might not be entirely deserving, you can't begrudge her for having a beef with Andrew Breitbart. Today on CNN's American Morning, John Roberts and Kiran Chetry pressed Sherrod as to what she thinks the appropriate payback would be. After a little prodding from the CNN team, Sherrod didn't mince words; she'd like BigGovernment shut down.

Just don’t call it an upfront. This is a more like a half conference, half show-off of influential content creators and celebs and all hoping to catch the eye of Madison Avenue brands. Digitas and its digital content arm The Third Act hosts its third Digital Content NewFront tomorrow at the Skylight Soho in New York. Even though Shaq can’t be there in person, he still took time to make a video pitch of his web series ideas: Dunk’d, a makeover show with the NBA’s shorter players? Shaqalicious, a Shaq cooking show? Genius. On a slightly more serious note, Daphne Brogdon, the Emcee for the NewFront, talks about FTC regulations and digital content in another video released in advance of the one-day event. Last year saw speeches from Michael Eisner and Al Gore, and as expected this year's speaker lineup is also fairly celeb and influencer...

As the murky details behind Michael Jackson's relationship with Dr Conrad Murray continue to unfold, a new dimension was added today by Murray's attorney, Edward Chernoff, during an interview with CNN. According to Chernoff, the 30 minute delay between efforts to revive Jackson and the 911 call - a delay that very well may have caused his death - was due to the fact Jackson did not have a telephone in his bedroom. Beginning at 5:35 in the video below, CNN anchor Kiran Chetry asks Chernoff about the curious discrepancy.<script src="http://i.cdn.turner.com/cnn/.element/js/2.0/video/evp/module.js?loc=dom&vid=/video/showbiz/2009/06/2 ...

Edward Chernoff, the lawyer for Michael Jackson's personal physician Dr. Conrad Murray, told CNN that a 911 call was not made immediately when Jackson was found to be ill. Chernoff told CNN's Kiran Chetry that the lack of a phone line in Jackson's bedroom contributed to the delayed 911 call, and that his client performed CPR on Jackson for 25-30 minutes. When asked if 911 was called immediately, Chernoff said, "No, I mean look, not immediately. Dr. Murray is his personal physician, that is something you would want is for your doctor to be right there if you were going into cardiac arrest, he was there, especially a cardiologist, he was there to try to revive Michael." The lawyer goes on, "When it became clear that he could not revive him through CPR, then he sought to call 911. The problem, Kiran, is that in Michael Jackson's home, the phones don't work.

NEW YORK -- American Morning executive producer Ed Litvak will leave the show in early March, CNN confirmed Monday.
Litvak's last day will be March 7. The network said it was his decision to leave.
He had worked at CNN since January 2004 and had been executive producer of American Morning since August 2006. A permanent replacement for Litvak has yet to be announced, but CNN said senior producer Barbara Simon would be in charge for now.
Litvak had taken over at American Morning after four months of running the show on a temporary basis following the departure of Kim Bondy. He had overseen the transition of the show from hosts Miles O'Brien and Soledad O'Brien to its current team of John Roberts and Kiran Chetry.
"Ed did a terrific job transitioning the new anchor team into place, and he has worked tirelessly to build a format for 'American Morning, ' which we think is the right niche for CNN in the morning," a network spokeswoman said.

NEW YORK -- Joel Cheatwood, the news executive who used tabloid techniques to great success in local TV, jumped CNN for a post at Fox News Channel.
The move was confirmed by CNN.
Cheatwood joined CNN in 2003 as a program development executive and had been an adviser to CNN president Jon Klein. He had brought local anchor Rick Sanchez to CNN and, most recently, was consulted by Klein when Klein wanted to bring FNC anchor Kiran Chetry to CNN. (Chetry was hired Wednesday to become co-anchor of American Morning.)
Cheatwood was one of CNN's main weapons in the battle against Fox News Channel, which overtook CNN long before Klein and Cheatwood arrived on the scene.
Cheatwood is well-known in news circles for his stunts in local TV that included sound effects and, in 1997, his hiring of tabloid talk-show host Jerry Springer as a commentator at WMAQ-TV in Chicago. He also has worked for stations in Miami, Boston and CBS O&O WCBS-TV in New York.
