What a boring way to kickoff <br />primetime on CNN. 360 failed to report what the<br />President actually said or talk to anyone who will<br />be affected by the policy change. How about talking<br />with people who have a connection to the story rather<br />than pundits to come on and run their mouths.<br /><br /> Evening Express was also a good move for HLN.<br />Let's hope CNN is getting back to it's roots and <br />going heavily with the news and interviews that<br />enhance conversations. 360 books some of the<br />most annoying people on the planet. Instead of<br />Marcia Clark, how about Ryan Smith ? She lsot<br />the OJ Simpson case so why does that qualify<br />her to come on and talk about cases. 360 drop<br />the pundits before it is too late and you lose<br />viewers who will not come back. PMT is sinking<br />fast and going lower than 360 at 8 in the demo.<br />Having Out Front & PMT as lead-ins is a big<br />mistake that is costing CNN viewers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6540471114822045290.post-86392423056582615672012-06-18T17:12:06.862-04:002012-06-18T17:12:06.862-04:00Focusing on global news for an entire hour is the

The crawl should all be<br />about international news for an hour. Some of the<br />news on the crawl during the Rwanda genocide <br />segment were not appropriate. Maybe they can<br />match up the crawl with information on the news<br />stories that are airing.

It doesn't matter<br />that viewers are strongly stating to CNN that they<br />are not digging CNN as a talking head nonsense<br />dumbed down nothing to do with news or info <br />channel. CNN obviously doesn't care for viewers<br />and sticks with pundits no matter what. I am taking<br />a break from CNN.

Their motto<br />is we trust the intelligence of our viewers so we<br />present facts and news without opinion or bias.<br />It is stunning that CNN thinks pundits are relevant.<br />Sure just sit back and have your talent toss loaded<br />questions to pundits to repeat tired played out lines.<br />You don't even have to watch because you already<br />will know the words they will say. They have to<br />wonder why their ratings are tanking. Management<br />at CNN should be forced to watch their own channel<br />for 24 hours. Put themselves in viewers shoes and<br />they would turn the channel too.

As usual. media morons can't tell the<br />full story. CNN called on the same people as Lou<br />Dobbs when he had his rants. CNN is incapable of<br />having a constructive conversation about news <br />stories. The is a consensus that pundits are ruining<br />CNN but apparently they don't think so. 360 had to<br />lead with 3 talking heads.

I also don't understand why I see so many comments saying "this reporter leans too much to the left" or "this anchor leans too much to the right". I only see that with pundits or perhaps political correspondents and as a devoted CNN viewer, I don't see that with their anchors. You may have seen one certain story being spoken about that made you assume that when that is not the case.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6540471114822045290.post-78598601428939370912012-06-15T21:10:13.357-04:002012-06-15T21:10:13.357-04:00I've noticed this thing recently that Piers Mo...I've noticed this thing recently that Piers Morgan is doing called Pride Of America on his show where he and a guest sit down in what seems to be a different set, in arm chairs rather than a table. Maybe CNN is testing something different for Piers Morgan? He should be let go from prime time and just conduct an interview in this format to air weekends. It's what he is best at doing. Why is he such a Larry King format copycat? One sit down interview every weekend is best. I don't think he would be great at co-hosting political events on CNN. Hopefully a change like this can occur soon before the presidential conventions begin.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6540471114822045290.post-14982358260994491502012-06-15T17:40:08.124-04:002012-06-15T17:40:08.124-04:00I must say that I am happy with a certain change t...I must say that I am happy with a certain change that has occurred at CNN. I'm not sure if anyone else has noticed, but for the past month, CNN has been responsibly and carefully using the BREAKING NEWS banner ONLY when necessary. They are no longer over using it on just anything anymore. So happy this is happened.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
