Hard... Only CNN. Why not put Jake Tapper up against<br />Hardball at 7 PM ? MSNBC has a repeat with Chris<br />Matthews. Tapper is a better choice for the hour<br />than Out Front. If it is just another hour of Obama<br />bashing, it will fail just like the rest of CNN. Tapper<br />should be able to get the big names. Please CNN<br />no more Crossfire. Personally, I only watch 360 and<br />the noon hour of the News Room. The politics on<br />CNN is a huge turnoff.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6540471114822045290.post-52320425494920279502012-12-24T10:14:01.800-05:002012-12-24T10:14:01.800-05:00Hopefully, the political coverage on CNN will impr...Hopefully, the political coverage on CNN will improve.<br />CNN is severely damaged and Jake Tapper helps some<br />but likely not much. It is the on air product that is <br />driving viewers away from CNN. The network used to<br />be informative, newsworthy, smart and watchable. <br />Not so anymore. Everything at CNN needs to change.<br />The tone, a huge turnoff. Story selection and content,<br />it's not a news story when you or someone on your<br />channel get into a heated conversations. What does <br />that have to do with your viewers. Nothing. Delivery<br />and presentation on CNN falls flat . Writing is not<br />conversational and does not speak to viewers.<br />What is wrong with using music, animation and<br />info-graphics to help tell news stories.. Mostly,<br />keep in mind that TV is a visual medium. Think <br />more transmedia. Meaning someone can watch<br />you on TV, tablets or smartphones. Mobile is<br />only going to get bigger. Also , create programming<br />for people to DVR. You can now record 5 shows<br />at once. MSNBC is way ahead of CNN. It will not<br />be an easy 2013 for CNN. They realized that CNN<br />was becoming the network of mindless chatter <br />and not much else. Who will watch that. So you get<br />Morning Joe, Who real journalists and experts. Not<br />trying to pass off pundits as experts, we all know <br />they are not. Now with Alex Witt, Martin Bashir,<br />The Cycle, Rachel Maddow, The Last Word, MHP<br />UP WIth Chris Hayes. All of these shows manages <br />to find a wide range of people who have something<br />to offer. CNN we've got pundits and ideology. For<br />goodness sakes it is the 21st century. New ideas<br />and a new approach to the news.<br /><br />I think the reason why CNN is putting Jake Tapper<br />on at 4 has to do with CNN's ratings leading into<br />their prime time lineup. The Cycle is averaging<br />some 533,000 viewers. So as early as 3 MSNBC has<br />something to build on. Try having shows that only<br />run for 1 hour. from 9 AM until midnight. One <br />reason why CNN is likely losing viewers is that<br />they are to lazy to stop reading the same script.<br />That is not the case with MSNBC. Meaning they<br />look fresh and seem to be constantly updating<br />their content. CNN same tired stories over and<br />over again. CNN needs to start hiring producers,<br />writers, video producers,editors.photographers<br />and people who will have the job of digging got<br />fresh and relevant content for CNN. Blogs and<br />opinion is not where you find news. That is not<br />legit news. Find the news and bring it to viewers.<br /><br />More than personalities CNN needs to focus on<br />content, story-telling , written ,pictures or video<br />since it can be done using different techniques.<br />All scripts should be written in a way that helps<br />CNN connect with viewers. We are not angry<br />ideologues. We just want to find out what is going<br />on. Hire true contributors that elevate not dumb<br />down your network. Freelancers, filmmakers, <br />writers, photographers. Put your viewers 1st.<br />Stop bringing on people just to argues. It is <br />fake and not genuine. CNN is tone death in news<br />and politics. So fire the pundits and hire people<br />who can offer intelligent conversations and offer<br />a discussions for viewers to walk away with <br />something. Make your viewer think rather than<br />turn the channel because we can't stand CNN.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6540471114822045290.post-25769617059145738452012-12-23T22:39:37.945-05:002012-12-23T22:39:37.945-05:00Until Mr. La Pierre recognizes and acknowledges th...Until Mr. La Pierre recognizes and acknowledges that HE and his NRA ARE the problem, and stops his little game of denial, schools will never be a safe place.<br />What he is proposing is totally impractical, and we wouldn't need "armed anybody" if there weren't assault weapons available on demand.<br />He knows it and HE IS STILL putting his own profit before the safety of the countries school children, and he should be ashamed of himself.<br />I do not want to hear anymore from him. His proposals are impractical and ridiculous and parents should demand, not ask, demand, safety in this nations schools.<br />And the only way to start, is to BAN ASSAULT WEAPONS.<br />If parents don't demand this for their own children, nothing will change and more children will be in harms way.<br />No one is "entitled" to an assault weapon, unless he's at war.<br />Period.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6540471114822045290.post-82457110631778988002012-12-22T05:24:36.840-05:002012-12-22T05:24:36.840-05:00Thank you.Thank you.anon 6:55/6:57noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6540471114822045290.post-8052635221378131172012-12-21T22:32:40.086-05:002012-12-21T22:32:40.086-05:00I appreciate you posting one of my comments, but I...I appreciate you posting one of my comments, but I wish you had allowed my first comment to go through as well because it expressed how I felt about Jake Tapper. I hope a variety of opinion is allowed here, I don't like Tapper and I believe he is disrespectful and arrogant like Ed Henry and Chuck Todd towards President Obama although the President can easily make quick work of all three. I'm disappointed that CNN hired him. I see a lot of negativity directed towards Anderson Cooper posted here (most of which I disagree with) I'd like to think that he's not the only person at CNN that can be criticized here.anon 6:57noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6540471114822045290.post-30732818392068209372012-12-21T18:57:58.395-05:002012-12-21T18:57:58.395-05:00I'll try to make another comment although I kn...I'll try to make another comment although I know it won't post, the answer President Obama gave Jake in the press conference was CORRECT. Why place all the blame for lack of gun control on him? Republicans are the ones who block every aspect of gun regulation, THEY OWN THIS not the President. Because of the NRA/Tea Party's lies about "Obama going after our guns", the President has been under pressure to assure them that he wasn't, but those days are over.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6540471114822045290.post-47957433492986570672012-12-21T18:55:01.680-05:002012-12-21T18:55:01.680-05:00I guess this won't be posted but I don't l...I guess this won't be posted but I don't like this guy, he's in the same vein as Ed Henry and Chuck Todd, all disrespectful and arrogant towards President Obama. Fortunately President Obama easily shuts types like this down, but for me, this makes CNN WORSE. What we'll be getting more of now is continual Obama-bashing and I was hoping CNN would become a little more moderate about that and more balanced. This guy's not known for being balanced towards the president.

Obama responded as if it was a stupid question. Perhaps it would have been better for Jake Tapper to say "why has it been taking so long?".<br /><br />From what I hear, Jake is a smart reporter and anchor and I'm sure he will do great at CNN but his encounter with the president yesterday left a bad first impression to me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6540471114822045290.post-70489647167717537132012-12-21T01:58:32.486-05:002012-12-21T01:58:32.486-05:00I think once CNN will try him out at the 4:00PM ti...I think once CNN will try him out at the 4:00PM time slot then perhaps move him once Jeff Zucker figures out his CNN programming line up.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6540471114822045290.post-13335759868572877172012-12-21T00:08:50.772-05:002012-12-21T00:08:50.772-05:00Yes, this is a great get for CNN.

He's anchoring at 4 PM which I'm not crazy about. I think CNN could use a real news hour similar to NBC's Nightly News in primetime. Tapper would be perfect for this.
