CNN prexy says network wasn't star struck for Angelina interview

Jonathan Klein, CNN's president is defending his networks decision to jump on the Angelina Jolie bandwagon. Klein says the interview conducted by Anderson Cooper was well within the CNN brand. Yeah but we are sure the end goal was ratings though!! CNN attracted 1.33 million viewers for Anderson Cooper's interview last week with the U.N. goodwill ambassador and new mother of Brad Pitt's baby, more than doubling the audience Cooper typically gets for his nightly newscast.
