However, he is filling in for Tony Harris, who, along with a whole bunch of other talented and qualified journos, left CNN because of its subquality PROGRAMMING and management, is not anchor material.<br />It is obvious, during his broadcasts, that he is reading the teleprompter, and finds it awkward to adlib. Someone like Don Lemon or TJ Holmes should be doing this slot. When will CNN take note?

That is a fact.<br />So it is no surprise that CNN attracted a larger demo, than FOX.<br />That is another fact and that is why she will consistently be rehired to co-host with Anderson.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6540471114822045290.post-51571537297204722982011-01-05T18:00:15.478-05:002011-01-05T18:00:15.478-05:00Seems like the ladies of comedy gave the

It is a waste of time and it<br />would a whole lot better if Anderson were<br />talking to people worthwhile. I vote for the<br />homeless guy too. That is quite a story.<br />Same goes for a viewers choice news show.<br />CNN should have done that 2 years ago.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6540471114822045290.post-9077314988035270872011-01-05T14:51:48.455-05:002011-01-05T14:51:48.455-05:00Erica Hill interviewed him this morning and

I know<br />I am not watching along with millions of my<br />fellow Americans. I have yet to come across<br />one person who likes him. I hear comments<br />like. I don't like his looks or attitude.

CNN needs to become the
world...Here's the deal. CNN needs to become the<br />world's largest content source for news.<br />Be it international and national. Get away<br />from politics, commentary and celebrities.<br />Give us news. That is all we ask. Right now<br />the smartest thing CNN could do would be<br />a viewer contributed news show in prime<br />time. Josh Levs can be a part of this. All CNN<br />has to do is set it up on Facebook. No politics.<br />Just interesting news you come across daily.<br />It can be a show for viewers to pick the news<br />and the stories they would like to see on the<br />show and interesting items they find out<br />about on social media or the internet.<br />CNN has got to connect with communities.<br />It can be a photo, local news story, a band<br />or music you discovered. They can even use<br />the clips from CNN.com and CNN I for news<br />stories.CNN can't keep ignoring viewers.<br />Perhaps CNN did a story that someone <br />will submit. Connect the viewer with the<br />reporter. Just say the name of the viewer<br />make the connection to the reporter or<br />photojournalits or someone in the news<br />room that connects with the viewers. You<br />can't connect with viewers through pundits.<br />You connect with your viewers via your<br />anchors and reporters. Involve the people.<br />CNN must really be the news alternative.<br />Mashable has a story today that should be<br />a wake up call for CNN. People are relying<br />on the web more for news.CNN offer us 180<br />minutes of news in prime time without talk<br />and opinion. Boring, boring. Understand we<br />are in the age of Facebook, Youtube & Twitter.<br />Let the people have a voice in putting together<br />the news.CNN is best suited for this since they<br />have the resources now they need to use them.<br />Personally, I think 360 should have lead with<br />the Huck Finn story last night. No more pundits<br />except for the Sit Room , John King & SOU. Do<br />some news and watch the ratings go up.Let<br />me stress that CNN decides the content of the<br />show and it is a news show and not the <br />partisans highjacking the news.Of course<br />you go with what you can verify. Have an<br />anchor along with a couple of digital journos.<br />CNN needs to realize the value of the content<br />and resources they have.CNN needs a digital<br />team that knows how to turn their content<br />into a monster.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6540471114822045290.post-60642026332517610312011-01-05T08:34:15.373-05:002011-01-05T08:34:15.373-05:00Hey 360 can Anderson interview the homeless

I like the homeless guy a whole lot<br />better and his story is way more interesting.<br />C'mon Anderson get back to talking with <br />ordinary people. In fact make him the voice<br />of 360 for Anderson each night.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6540471114822045290.post-33173933610123276292011-01-05T00:23:20.506-05:002011-01-05T00:23:20.506-05:00Oh boy.

They have Anderson<br />repeating everything from those dumb<br />commercials.If this guy is so good that CNN<br />forced Larry King out of his time slot, why<br />does he need a whole week of coverage.<br />It is dumb and the latest debacle from the<br />gang who can't shoot straight.CNN is now<br />irrelevant. Memo to CNN : do a magazine<br />type show like Nightlime. It is beating Leno<br />and Letterman.Oh that's right, CNN does<br />not do original journalism.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6540471114822045290.post-56801344702060476502011-01-04T17:13:48.670-05:002011-01-04T17:13:48.670-05:00Wow.
