They don't need ratings."<br />Are they related to Jeff Bewkes because if they aren't, than instead of writing fluff here, they can get paid for it, writing PR over there.<br />People Magazine is in trouble as well because it has become so slick and competitive, they've continually tried to be US and IN TOUCH. Photos and nothing to read plus fluff and gloss with no content, just like CNN.<br />If this is the BIG Empire that is being thrown around, than Jeff Bewkes is also part of the problem.<br />He too, was overly defensive and protective of the CNN brand and image and is in DENIAL, about how really and truly bad things are.<br />And by the way, if HBO wasn't offered as a PACKAGE, NO ONE WOULD WATCH.<br />They just shut down 'Luck' because of PETA complaining about how they abused horses on the set and Jeff Bewkes said, "It had low ratings anyway." duh??<br />In essence, Time Warner owns stuff that's doing POORLY, all around the globe.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6540471114822045290.post-1331733840540519012012-05-14T13:26:28.356-04:002012-05-14T13:26:28.356-04:00I forgot to say that I chose CNN because it is
mo...I forgot to say that I chose CNN because it is<br />more of a news channel than the others. IMHO<br />the opinion on FNC & MSNBC have destroyed<br />news. CNN has a huge amount of stories that<br />can easily be used daily for a smart news show.<br />The music is used to enhance the segment or<br />story being featured, One of the best ways to<br />do this is music. That is why I said songs that<br />women can relate to but most important is the<br />content and IQ of the show. I would never let<br />a show this important to me be dumbed down.<br />That is why I said I don't even want a job at<br />CNN all I ask for is a chance to do the show<br />and to have access to CNN vast resources.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6540471114822045290.post-6193968730310462912012-05-14T13:07:25.307-04:002012-05-14T13:07:25.307-04:00CNN has got to do a women's news show and I
me...CNN has got to do a women's news show and I<br />mean news. There is a lot of talk about the highest<br />ranking female executive at JP Morgan being out <br />of a job in wake of the 2 billion dollar loss. Some<br />think that she is being made a scapegoat while a<br />couple weeks ago Jamie Dimon dismissed the <br />Bloomberg report. You could use the song The <br />Sky Is Breaking Up Jim by Mark Boone for the <br />setup. Now there is word it could be 3 billion.<br />Edited with some video and sound. Am I suppose<br />to belief that 3 or 4 of the female journalists<br />at CNN can't cover this topic. The Talk was <br />mentioned for the diversity and the civil tone.<br />1 hour for women without pundits and politics<br />is not a lot to ask from CNN. It makes good<br />business sense to have a nightly news for <br />you to hang out with your girls and get some<br />news. It would be a fast paced news/interview<br />news show along with interesting conversation.<br />Women are majority of the population. Media<br />companies can no longer ignore this.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6540471114822045290.post-56007043344245453072012-05-14T11:29:36.894-04:002012-05-14T11:29:36.894-04:00This guy is good.

I still think Mr Bewkes<br />is going to shake up the management at CNN. He<br />would never say that on a national show like Charlie<br />Rose. He went down a list about what he expects.<br />I wonder who is on his shortlist. More importantly<br />who is his choice for the next CNN President. it<br />would have to be at list 2 changes. We will likely<br />hear that Jim Walton and Ken Jautz are retiring. He<br />didn't defend the management. He gave his list<br />of what the should be doing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
