criticiz...CNN is a bunch of hypocrites. How can you<br />criticize partisanship and ideology in D.C.<br />but have people on your payroll who you<br />put on you network almost hourly on a<br />daily basis to do the same thing. CNN is<br />dysfunctional as well. Cable news is so <br />partisan that you can't get accurate info.<br />You can't stay in business with that model.<br />I can find out the real deal from BBC or Al<br />Jazeera. Network news covers more in 30<br />than CNN covers for an entire week.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6540471114822045290.post-33957675215769456722011-11-21T11:45:12.305-05:002011-11-21T11:45:12.305-05:00Anderson Cooper is the an anchor not a field

Content,<br />lack of factual reporting, failure to put things<br />into perspective, being distracted from real<br />news and no journalistic soul, ugly banners<br />and graphics, production/presentation issues.<br />That's just some of what is wrong at CNN.<br /><br />You will never hear Alice's Restaurant on CNN.<br />The tea party will never agree to this. Why do<br />you think CNN has disdain for OWS. TEAnn.<br />Just look at the CNN hires. It has tea party<br />written all over it. Where is the journalistic<br />independence ,integrity, credibility ? CNN<br />needs backbone and to stop being afraid of<br />the right wing media crowd.<br /><br />Look at how CNN is covering the bad behavior<br />of the Nascar fans. Mrs. Obama and Jill Biden<br />were standing on the platform with kids. I<br />would think those minority kids were not<br />comfortable in that environment. They were<br />booed by a crowd that is 99 % white. CNN has<br />no questions for Nascar. The 2 woman are used<br />to this but those kids did not deserve that.<br />That's right it is not a hip hop artist so they<br />are not rude.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6540471114822045290.post-19300598372603286472011-11-21T10:08:16.038-05:002011-11-21T10:08:16.038-05:00Wow Hala Gorani is on CNN anchoring.

The question is what<br />are you thankful for. That is alright . No recipes<br />or send us pics or video of your Thanksgiving<br />spread.

There is no<br />comparison between Anderson and Piers Morgan.<br />America's Got Talent is a summer show and he<br />is only a judge. That is why it didn't garner any<br />press. It means nothing and affects nothing.<br />Nick Cannon is the show.<br /><br />Brian Williams anchors Nightly News and has Rock<br />Center, and Williams interviews pop culture icons<br />as well. Anderson and 360 are run by 2 different<br />components at Time Warner. Distribution makes<br />more money period. That is the bottom line here.<br /><br /><br />Anderson and 360 bring in millions for TW. It<br />has previously been written that advertisers <br />pushed CNN to move 360 to the 8 o'clock hour.<br />Advertisers like the demos for 360. It has been<br />rumored that CNN goes with the 18-49 demo <br />to sale 360. The thing is 18-49 year olds are not<br />fans of talking heads.360 can't alienate this <br />group. DVR's are becoming important to the<br />TV industry. You have Anderson, Charlie Moore,<br />Isha & Team 360. Let them do their thing. But<br />as long as both shows make money the top dog<br />at Time Warner does not care. Only when you<br />lose money do they care. Time Warner is a huge<br />media conglomerate. Check out Time Warner<br />stock. It is performing quite well.<br /><br />Million dollar question,who has editorial control<br />of 360 ? Brian Williams is the managing editor for<br />Nightly. Not sure if Anderson Cooper,Moore<br />and staff have the freedom to be creative and<br />innovative with 360. Think about 360 over the<br />years. For the most part it was never a talking <br />head show. It was the most different show on<br />cable news. The NBC network is doing lousy and<br />it is going to eventually hurt their news division.<br />Comcast likely won't put money into MSNBC. <br />TW can put money into CNN by hiring people<br />who enhance the CNN brand not destroy it or<br />cheapen the value.<br /><br />It would be great if CNN were treated like HBO,<br />Cinemax, TNT, TBS, Cartoon Network, WB TV<br />and WB Movies, and whatever else they own.<br />With the Time Warner family being so big, it is<br />very hard for CNN to get the attention it badly<br />deserves.360 permits CNN to say they are<br />growing and it is true but you would think that<br />CNN would not mess up 360 for that reason.<br />Running a network is never easy. Just ask Oprah.<br />It is hard to pick shows but you don't keep <br />repeating past failures.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6540471114822045290.post-52484526907834496982011-11-21T07:59:15.839-05:002011-11-21T07:59:15.839-05:00The best thing CNN could do right now would be

Nothing of value. CNN needs to<br />start focusing on news and not the people making<br />crazy statements each day. CNN is responsible for<br />the rise of the stupids. Intelligent conversation is<br />frowned upon at CNN. Ted Tuner would never let<br />CNN become this bad. CNN needs to find a new<br />Ted Turner.

He seems more focused on his talk show rather than CNN. Why isn't he reporting from the Wall Street protests or from Syria? Since his show began, I haven't seen any field reporting. I will miss that. Look at Piers Morgan now. He is quitting America's Got Talent to focus more on CNN. I wish Anderson had only agreed to a season of his talk show.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6540471114822045290.post-64325696555445023292011-11-20T18:40:39.785-05:002011-11-20T18:40:39.785-05:00OMG!

Let's facet it AC<br />is a big time marketable media personality.<br />It seems like prime time is now considered<br />to be 7-11 PM. <br /><br />I'm pulling for Strombo and a ladies show<br />in prime time on CNN. In the future, CNN<br />will need to be like TNT, HBO & other TW<br />properties. You have to have original shows.<br />Neither would move CNN away from being<br />a news channel. Stewart has just as much<br />credibility as an of the news people.

I<br />do worry that with the daytime show getting<br />bigger that 360 might become the rear view<br />mirror show. On Friday with Hugh Jackman, I<br />noticed that Kevin is now on Anderson. Don't<br />get me wrong, it is right for Anderson to give<br />them the opportunity but I hope it does not <br />mess up 360. It just so happens that 360 is<br />the top show on CNN so both shows need <br />some attention. It is in the interest of Time<br />Warner to make both shows more successful.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6540471114822045290.post-13874060449496833632011-11-20T00:55:13.157-05:002011-11-20T00:55:13.157-05:00CNN needs to move Don Lemon to weekday primetime. ...CNN needs to move Don Lemon to weekday primetime.
