CNN doesn't want to admit that the hiring of Erin BUrnett has been a disaster. Moving her to the morning show will never hide how bad she is at anchoring and interviewing. Don't even get me started about Burnett being factually challenged. CNN can't get anything right. Too bad they are going to drag down Chris Cuomo in the process.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6540471114822045290.post-20765696459220590092013-02-22T15:49:12.407-05:002013-02-22T15:49:12.407-05:00CNN handled this situation very badly.

There not no high profile female journalists available for CNN. it seems as though CNN thinks Erin Burnett is bigger than she actually is and that is a problem. CNN is to dumb to <br />book smart guests and still trying to make pundits into journalists. Nothing has changed and CNN will be looking for a new leader within a year. NBC is now the number 5 network behind Univision. Jeff Zucker left a terrible mess at NBC.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6540471114822045290.post-78039346420134685312013-02-22T14:54:47.615-05:002013-02-22T14:54:47.615-05:00 Maybe she can get a Lisa Ling thing going.

She is so hopelessly biased, dogmatic, and arrogant that I have refused to watch anything that includes her. Zucker is showing he is not afraid to make significant changes, and I am appreciative of those to date. Perhaps there is some emerging hope for CNN to regain its footing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6540471114822045290.post-62003380538269851872013-02-21T19:45:46.005-05:002013-02-21T19:45:46.005-05:00What I find fascinating is that with all this talk...What I find fascinating is that with all this talk online of Erin Burnett moving to mornings, I have not seen one positive comment...NOT ONE, anywhere. Just because Jeff Zucker is friends with her, doesn't mean he has to keep her. Talk about annoying. She once hosted a morning show on another network and it wasn't the best ratings wise. Hello! Anyone there?

It is very troubling that his first targets are minorities.

It would have been perfect for her to host a program in the evening simply titled "In America with Soledad O'Brien". I really do feel that would have worked out. Besides daily news and headlines, she would have had the opportunity to air clips of her documentaries that she would still do on CNN in her program in connection with the title. Sadly, I see this ending up like a Larry King situation. After he ended his show, CNN had him host 4 big interviews a year. That only lasted one year. Oh well. All good things come to an end.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
