med...CNN has forgotten that television is a visual <br />medium. The suit should turn the network<br />over to it's people and stop it with the left<br />vs right mentality. Who cares what the pundits<br />think ? It is not forward thinking to have people<br />who come on tv just to argue or spout the latest<br />talking points. Can you say boring. Wake up CNN<br />it is 2010 and they are stuck in the 90's. CNN <br />needs a news boss who will modernize the <br />network.. Drop the crawl and constantly update<br />the news every 10 minutes and use a real time<br />news format. It's content, storytelling, production<br />and presentation. Stop it with the intrusive <br />graphics and run the video like you do with<br />commercials.I really don't understand why <br />there can't be a simple banner close to the<br />bottom of the screen that sums things up<br />in a sentence. Going in and out of breaks<br />use clips of news being featured on CNN.com.<br />I have also noticed that CNN is now using<br />Getty Images. So that means CNN has access<br />to hundreds of news photos and Time Warner<br />does own Life which also uses photos to<br />tell the news. Also use time lapse video<br />that shows events like a balloon race or<br />traffic and people moving in the morning,<br />or even a sunrise or moving waves. There<br />is a huge appetite for news but you will<br />not get much on CNN. How can cable news<br />forget the importance of video and photos.<br />Hello, that is how you tell the story.<br />Finally, hit the streets to find out what is<br />really going on. You won't find it sitting<br />on your behinds just chatting. The news<br />will not come to you go out and find it<br />and tell us something we don't know and<br />only have the pundits on the political shows<br />but not so prominent, but definitely not<br />in prime time. For goodness sakes put<br />you more likable anchors on more who<br />seem to understand the news and look<br />like it on tv. Rick's List is cheesy , that is<br />the problem. Sanchez has the nerve to<br />constantly keep his face on the air for <br />an hour or 2. I guarantee if you drink shots<br />for how many times his face shows up even<br />when he is not on camera you would be<br />drunk.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6540471114822045290.post-38347814209339919592010-07-28T01:15:04.964-04:002010-07-28T01:15:04.964-04:00It's been one bad idea after another, but IMHO...It's been one bad idea after another, but IMHO, the worst hire, is Piers Morgan. Spitzer has garnered some respect over the years governing NY State and he has been on shows, such as Bill Maher, and has shown some wit and intellect. Morgan has shown nothing, and he's an import to make matters even worse. If one needs to be dropped it's the latter.<br />But Klein has proven to be stubborn and until someone shows him the door, the viewers are the one who will ultimately suffer.<br />Rick, was stumbling all over himself tonite, and I didn't stay with the program that long. My guess is, he saw his ratings in prime. Another big fat mistake. Oops, did I say fat? Sorry.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6540471114822045290.post-65588790491277768522010-07-27T23:24:13.021-04:002010-07-27T23:24:13.021-04:00It is now official Jon Klein has officially ruined...It is now official Jon Klein has officially ruined<br />CNN. Now they are behind MSNBC in the demo<br />during the day. CNN should never have removed<br />women from the day schedule and now they did<br />the same thing in prime time and Rick's List is<br />a total flop.CNN it is your shows and content.<br />Your viewers expect CNN to do news and not<br />talk. Maybe now CNN understands Rick's List<br />is a bad show and seems to be doing worst for<br />the hour than Campbell Brown. CNN is suppose<br />to be a real news channel and not a knockoff<br />of MSNBC or Fox. What does it take for the<br />suits to see that Jon Klein can't fix CNN, he<br />is only making matters worse. CNN needs to<br />ditch the Spitzer and Piers Morgan ideas now<br />before it is too late. I think the Spitzer hire<br />was the last straw. People are tired of waiting<br />for CNN to get it's act together.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
