<p> On June 22, CNN Headline News re-aired the June 20 edition of the network&#39;s <i>Glenn Beck</i> program, which featured conservative talk radio show host Michael Graham discussing Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton&#39;s (NY) <a href="http://mediamatters.org/rd?src=item200706250003&http://youtube.com/watch?v=9BEPcJlz2wE">campaign video</a>  that parodies the series finale of HBO&#39;s <i><a href="http://mediamatters.org/rd?src=item200706250003&http://www.hbo.com/sopranos/">The Sopranos</a></i>. As <i>Media Matters for America</i> <a href="http://mediamatters.org/items/200706210013?src=item200706250003">documented</a>, Graham asked Beck, "[S]eriously, Glenn, didn&#39;t you at some point want to see, like, Paulie Walnuts [a character on <i>The Sopranos</i>], somebody come in here and just whack them both right there?" Beck, while smiling, replied that he "did not want to see that."</p>

<p>CNN Headline News aired the same version of the June 20 show -- including Graham&#39;s remark about wanting to see someone "just whack" the Clintons in the video -- at 7 p.m. and 9 p.m. ET on June 20 and at midnight ET on June 21. The encore presentation on June 22, a Friday, was the fourth time the show aired in two days. Although CNN Headline News typically airs reruns of Beck&#39;s 7 p.m. show at 9 p.m. on the same day and again at midnight, there <a href="http://mediamatters.org/rd?src=item200706250003&http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/gb.html">does not appear</a>  to be a pattern for Friday broadcasts, which are sometimes new and other times repeats of previous shows.</p><table width="100%" style="background: #e8e8e8;
