Was it Jim Walton or Jon Klein who actually said we don't need him for science because we have duh, Planet in Peril???<br />Well, we got a planet that's in peril, but that firing had to be one of the stupidest moves made in a year of really stupid moves for CNN....or was it made at the end of 2008 for the great CNN year of '09?

There was an historic presidential election.<br />That is what lead to the record numbers for CNN.<br />No way in the world was it possible for CNN to<br />keep those numbers.At this time 2009 is history.<br />What will matter is what CNN will do in 2010.<br />We will not get a read on how CNN will do until<br />about the 3rd week of January.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6540471114822045290.post-18837097730337292222009-12-19T17:30:11.777-05:002009-12-19T17:30:11.777-05:00Jim Walton has to win a prize for spin and best PR...Jim Walton has to win a prize for spin and best PR in the business.<br />Does he not realize that CNN International isn't in ALL the markets in the United States, and I live in the largest market on the East Coast and he praises his employees for "connectiveness," his wording not mine.<br />This is what you call a good will effort to keep the good ship lollipop afloat.
