To me CNN is NO...I totally agree with the comments. To me CNN is NO longer the most trusted name in news, the ratings are a clear indication of that. Are the "powers that be" not looking at the ratings picture or reading the various blogs? Without the likes of Wolf Blitzer, John King, Anderson Cooper we would be giving the benediction on the network. Thank God for Cafferty and Jennie Moos and an excellent correspondent in Suzanne Malveaux - Situation Room is just tight. I concur with an earlier suggestion to give Cafferty Larry King's job. I would also suggest giving Cafferty Lou Dobbs' spot.<BR/>I grew up watching CNN but now, its really hard to switch there. Someone please, please, rescue John Roberts - give him a new anchor! As the other comments stated, Campbell is annoying I would not waste my time and exercise my finger muscle to switch to her show. Sanchez has my brain scrambled from him switching without transition - to news story to screaming about a line from twitter, and Tony Harris, let's not even go there! But how does Harris be on during the week and they have TJ Holmes and Don Lemon banished to the weekend albeit Lemon to a time slot when everyone is probably going out or watching a good movie? Don Lemon needs Tony Harris' spot and TJ Holmes just needs to be put in prime time on his own show.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6540471114822045290.post-64676553889942513202009-01-15T16:48:00.000-05:002009-01-15T16:48:00.000-05:00I still can't believe that CNN thought that Rick S...I still can't believe that CNN thought that Rick Sanchez was a better anchor than Don Lemon. 3PM has become a complete disaster!<BR/><BR/>Lemon is a much better interviewer and anchor.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6540471114822045290.post-49866194052874773792009-01-14T14:05:00.000-05:002009-01-14T14:05:00.000-05:00CNN had better move TJ Holmes to prime time.MSNBC...CNN had better move TJ Holmes to prime time.<BR/>MSNBC has hired Carlos Watson and others.<BR/>Something is up.

To cover the story as though he<BR/>did not pay federal taxes is not being honest.<BR/>This morning they are still focusing on George<BR/>Bush and how bad things are for Obama with<BR/>TARP and Geithner. CNN get away from talk<BR/>radio and the political blogs there is a whole<BR/>big world with stories that people care about.<BR/>How about watching CNN.om, Google most<BR/>popular, Yahoo, AOL, Digg, Reddit and others<BR/>to find out what Americans are reading about.<BR/>And this comes from a CNN fan.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6540471114822045290.post-23887260416429168562009-01-14T10:46:00.000-05:002009-01-14T10:46:00.000-05:00Lets hope CNN is working on new programs toreplace...Lets hope CNN is working on new programs to<BR/>replace the shows that a falling like a brick.<BR/>From American to Larry King, every thing needs<BR/>to revamp. Except TSR and AC 360 CNN needs<BR/>to bring shows to the network that bring in<BR/>viewers not send them away. They have got<BR/>to get away from the single anchor format during<BR/>the day. If you go with 2 or more people. The<BR/>viewers are likely to like one of the anchors.<BR/>I agree with viewers as news contributors the<BR/>stories are likely to be a wide range of topics<BR/>and it keeps you engaged with the public.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6540471114822045290.post-69046427824120163742009-01-14T09:46:00.000-05:002009-01-14T09:46:00.000-05:00No rating for Steve MacIntyre?No rating for Steve MacIntyre?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6540471114822045290.post-41904470456075324292009-01-14T07:17:00.000-05:002009-01-14T07:17:00.000-05:00I couldn't agree more with your comment, Anonymous...I couldn't agree more with your comment, Anonymous.<BR/>Lou Dobbs is very annoying...

I know people who are now<BR/>turning to MSNBC at 3 and leaving it on<BR/>the channel. There is an anger at CNN for<BR/>focusing on petty things like Blago, Palin<BR/>and Joe the plumber. Eventually CNN will<BR/>be in such a hole because they failed to<BR/>realize they messed up. Also they need<BR/>to have John Roberts and Kyra Phillips<BR/>anchoring the morning show. Please<BR/>do something about Lou Dobbs, Campbell<BR/>Brown and Rick Sanchez. They are just <BR/>down right annoying. Since Obama wil<BR/>be the first 2.0 president maybe it is<BR/>time for CNN to do a newscast made up<BR/>of viewer submitted stories and bring more<BR/>internet elements to the network. The move<BR/>to opinion journalism was a mistake for CNN.<BR/>CNN seems to have forgotten about it's viewers.<BR/>Erica Hill, TJ Holmes, Alina Cho, and Zain Verje<BR/>would be great hosting a viewer submitted news<BR/>program for 2 hours from 7-9pm, I mean real<BR/>news items from news papers and the web and<BR/>stories you may not have heard from the day<BR/>and cool stuff. Hey even throw in Jack Gray from<BR/>the 360 blog in the mix for fun. Have viewers<BR/>vote through out the day keep a running tally<BR/>and the top stories that make the CNN charts <BR/>for the mega news mix. Heck even have people<BR/>vote for the top viral videos of the day<BR/>submitted by viewers as well. And give a shout<BR/>out to the viewers who make the cut.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
