Unfortunately he was OUR President for all the wrong reasons but the title is so misleading.<br />The most interesting element was the way television broadcasting has changed. It was hardly recognizable. We've all become so accustomed to HD digital that analog, and poor quality analog looked like a relic broadcasted from the moon, and yet this was what we all thought was great.<br />I felt like kissing my flatscreen!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6540471114822045290.post-52046403707470198772013-07-30T13:23:16.551-04:002013-07-30T13:23:16.551-04:00By tomorrow we will know the ratings for July 2013...By tomorrow we will know the ratings for July 2013 for CNN,MSNBC & FNC. The Zimmerman trial likely boosted CNN. However, once the verdict came in CNN took a hit. It will be interesting to see who is up or down. New Day will get it's first ratings for an entire month.

alwa...Why waste money on talking heads ? CNN could <br />always invite people from Business Insider, Huffington Post, Time, Bloomberg, Businessweek, ABC,CBS,NPR. New Republic,Rolling Stone, etc. There is no shortage of good journalism or good content. Why not try to lure away the Cycle team or the Morning Joe crew ? People like Mo Rocca and Conor Knighton, who both work for CBS ? Ezra Klein or Quartz. CNN should celebrate journalism not ideology. I look forward to the day when there is a brave executive who will fire the pundits. Jon Stewart is right about their insignificance. The 11 AM hour is nothing but crime on CNN. Somebody needs to fix both CNN and HLN. What a waste of money to have folks just sit on their butts and run their mouths. That's called mismanagement.<br /><br />You have to wonder if CNN will go for a David Rhoades once his contract is up at CBS NEWS. Phil Kent is leaving and he put Jeff Zucker in charge. Jon Martin will replace Phil Kent. That is a clear generational shift for Turner. The is something going on behind the scenes. I hope come 2014 that 1 of the 1st things that Martin will do is to actually try to watch CNN for an entire day. It's a safe bet the suffering would be over for CNN viewers. Why ? he would not last very long without turning the channel.<br /><br />HuffPo has a fascinating interview with the man who used to run Al Jazeera. He said these words : cable news has become so politicized that CNN is now a propaganda channel.

I stopped watching Don Lemon and CNN some time ago. Too negative and mean. Bad vibe and the tone is not respectful.

Just... CNN needs to start respecting viewers period. Just pivot to viewers/consumers. You need us to watch your network. Someone mentioned before about CNN having a team of consumer reporters. CNN is stuck in the 70's.80's 0's and even 10 years ago. CNN is not adapting or changing. You need pundits in the 21st century, really ? People like finding deals and getting the most out of their money. Somewhere along the line CNN basically banned real people from their channel. Why the heavy focus on crime and people behaving badly. You make choices and CNN is making some really bad choices.CNN can not afford to lose viewers. Believe this : advertisers are going to walk away from cable news because of they are turning off millions. There is a growing sense that cable news and talk radio are not worth it.

He has been mocked and schooled by many who are far more intelligent than he is but he still thinks he's right. Once you have o'Reilly and the racists agreeing with you, you cannot be trusted. I've never liked Lemon, his latest incident confirms why.

AJAM has made it clear no Jody Arias or overboard coverage of a royal baby. <br />The news matters to AJAM. CNN is also ignoring the fast food strikers. With shows like Morning Joe, The Cycle, All In, TRMS, UP & MHP, MSNBC has been way ahead of the game when it comes to news for average people. Have you ever seen a minimum wage worker on CNN.

Of course, I think ...I completely agree @6:47am!!! Of course, I think the problem applies to CNN more broadly. Business Insider is a great website. New Day focused on SeaWorld and the actor fighting for custody of his son. There is so much more going on that is affecting real people. Also on BI, that letter from the Saudi Prince to the King talking about how fracking and shale exploration is killing them. On CBS This morning they talked quite a bit about what's going on in Egypt and how Israel/Palestine talks are going. I read on HuffPo how employment for young folks 18-29 is continuing to decline.

I first spotted the story on Business Insider,yes the internet is my 1st choice for news these days. I like lots and lots of content and like to walk out of the door informed. Amazingly, New Day has ignored the story. This comes on the hills of the Stanford study on economic mobility. Morning Joe has this as the lead. Mind you we are talking 80 % of Americans. I thought New Day was suppose to be more about news. Morning Joe has more content and conversation on big stories. CNN is losing the news battle right from the start. I can find 50 fresh stories on my smartphone.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6540471114822045290.post-53854396028923764442013-07-28T10:34:27.725-04:002013-07-28T10:34:27.725-04:00CNN needs to fire Don Lemon right now.

If you think this will get CNN & Don Lemon ratings, you are wrong. Don Lemon completely ignored the facts. <br />Black media always covers issues surrounding the black community. Ever hear of Ebony,Jet, the Root,Grio,Essence,Madame Nior,The Crisis, Diversity Inc,Harlem Worldm, News One, Black American Web. OF course not, it's CNN. As far as CNN is concerned blacks need to be portrayed as negative. They don't want to show the positive in the black community. It does not fit their narrative. According to CNN, there are no black professionals who are dong things in America. Thank goodness for Melissa Harris-Perry and Toure. they take their jobs seriously and would never use their positions as a cheap ratings stunt.<br /><br />Try respecting the black community. This might come as a shock to Don Lemon but we are responsible , love our families just like everyone else, we work hard, go the school,act responsibly,believe in education doing the right thing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6540471114822045290.post-61593889436325738392013-07-27T14:22:32.779-04:002013-07-27T14:22:32.779-04:00Suzanne Malveaux had a feature on CNN not too long...Suzanne Malveaux had a feature on CNN not too long ago about her mother's battle with ALS.
