CNN needs to try and get someone like a
Tim Armstrong at AOL. Content is the
elephant in the room and CNN can't even
figure that out.I was so glad to see Lewis
Black tell them to drop the crawl.So Lil
Wayne wants to party when he gets out of
jail. That is exactly the problem with the
crawl.If there is a serious conversion going
on like the recent package bombs, it is not
a good idea to see a story about Lil Wayne
wanting to party.

CNN is trailing badly because it is factless
news and misinformation.CNN would fail
beginners journalism class. Just make up
the facts and lie. Constantly repeat the
rhetoric and do absolutely no research.
CNN is irresponsible they need to be gone.
My remote is my protest. Boycott CNN.
CNN is nothing but the pundit channel.

CNN had better hope that MSNBC doesn't
start to solidify it's viewers.I am so so on
360 these days. Sometimes it is good and
sometimes I don't care.I don't like any of
the recent hires at CNN.It is a huge turnoff.
I don't think I will be even tuning in to
CNN much longer. I just don't like what I am
seeing. I am like eh. I guess I will watch the
heroes special but come next year I can see
me not even watching CNN at all.I will have
Google TV and can get real news and no
opinion. It is nirvana.

Jon Stewart had a clip on The Daily Show that
sums up the problem of trying to watch CNN.
There is not point because it is all about the
ideologues,CNN should have given Lewis Black
the 9pm slot. AC360 was the only show that
CNN could tout. It is ugly all over the place
with ratings,I am with the chorus put on a
ladies news show at 8.

MSNBC smells CNN's blood in the water. I
say the will move the Ed Show to 7 and not
have the Hardball repeat and come up with
a new show a 6, Perhaps Martin Bashir. CNN
is a lost cause.In this environment , if Jon
Stewart can't talk any sense into them, they
will never learn and CNN is imploding from
the inside.I never understood the dayside
moves on CNN. The messed up the lead in
for TSR .I would like to see the individual
breakdown for THe Newsroom. The HuffPO
has the top 31 cable news shows.

I hate to say it but CNN and the other news
channels are getting too crazy for my taste.
CNN really needs to clean up it's act and
stop it with the silliness.I am getting nothing
from cable news these days. Can anyone be
expected to actually sit and watch the lousy
shows on CNN. The network is hiring and
spotlighting extremists and that makes the
viewers the biggest losers. The viewers are
ignored and that is just bad business because
CNN is nothing without viewers. The way
things are trending cable tv/satellite tv
are both losing record numbers of viewers.
CNN needs to find a way to bring in people
who are 50 and under or else they will be
a thing of the past.

CNN keeps turning me off. I refuse to watch
Parker Spitzer or Piers Morgan.360 has been
better the last couple of days but did they
really need pundits for some 45 minutes.
I don't get the left vs right echo chamber.
You can watch news for 24 hours and be
lucky if you get 1 minute of real news.

Amber Lyon has another 30 minute doc this
weekend on Charlie Sheen. I am thinking
CNN working on something with her. What
The Week is coming on as well. These are 2
half hour shows. Could CNN be trying out
some 30 minute shows instead of hour long
shows ? I strongly support a women's show
but beyond the typical news show. How about
a team of CNN correspondents traveling the
globe for stories that we can only see on CNN.
Due to the fact that CNN would be the only
ones willing to go to the news. Instead of
waiting for the news to come to the studio.
The you will hear about it first on CNN
mentality. Make it so that any employee
at CNN can stumble upon news and tell
people all about it.CNN,FNC & MSNBC all
look the same.

Jon Stewart's ranking is now #1 for adults in night time viewing and not for nothing.
Most literate adults know that Stewart is not only funny, but smart and never demeaning to others in his field. He also doesn't mind sharing the spotlite with his writers and or fake correspondents.
His latest quote: calling out Kathryn Parker, as "Mrs. Parker Spitzer."

@12:07PM: That is exactly why CNN is failing. Who gives a cr-- about Charlie Sheen, whether Amber Lyons is doing the report for 30 minutes or an hour. He's not worth 8 minutes on any cable news channel.
LK spoke to Janet Jackson for an HOUR and wasted air time.
I can't think of anything I'd want to ask Janet Jackson...nada, nothing, especially having a whole hour with her is a recipe for CNN failure.
If you're so interested in celebs, don't watch cable NEWS.
