While CNN was in talk mode overload<br />Countdown had the story of the house burning<br />down because the guy didn't pay $ 75. Which<br />of these stories do you think people will care<br />about the most.If we don't see this story and<br />the toxic sludge disaster on 360 that is not<br />a good thing.I say go with a Nightline type<br />show for the hour.

This can be done by using <br />CNN reporters and the web. There is so much<br />content out there that is is virtually impossible<br />to get it all.

a ...I am just not into CNN these days.CNN does need<br />a free format with the news from 6am-noon. No<br />packages until then and give your people time to<br />to add production elements to stories. You engage<br />your viewer by asking questions like: percentage<br />of Americans attend 2 year colleges or the average<br />cost of a 2 year community college. That is way<br />better than are you angry,do you hate someone.<br />CNN will not connect with viewers doing pov<br />talking head shows. Boring, boring and boring.<br />The negativity on CNN is a huge turn off. Have<br />a segment called real news all day long. A way<br />to work in more news. Presentation is a key<br />factor as well. They really need to fix the<br />graphics and banners that obstruct your view.<br />For goodness sake CNN, ever heard of full<br />screen video. Later today when the ratings<br />are in , I am guessing that CNN will badly<br />trail FNC & MSNBC. Come on CNN, Elliot<br />Spitzer. CNN does have a bad habit of <br />putting people on the air who are too full<br />of themselves.Is putting Parker Spitzer on<br />as your lead show the dumbest idea or<br />what. That is exactly why CNN is in such<br />big trouble. The network can't distance<br />itself from all of the silliness and discourse.<br />That means CNN is really a conduit to<br />spreading the ignorance virus. I am sure<br />this is not what Ted Turner set out to do.<br />Boy does CNN ever fit the definition of<br />what Einstein says it is. Repeating the same<br />thing over and over again and expecting<br />different results.No matter how CNN tries<br />to pass talking heads as news, it will not<br />work. CNN has been doing opinion/pov<br />for more than 2 years now. Judging by<br />the ratings, Stevie Wonder could see it is<br />not working.

There are photojournalists,writers<br />producers,etc.CNN is a large news organization.<br />Enough with talking head central. are you telling<br />me no news is happening and the only thing<br />we need to know each day is what people think.<br />That is called useless information and we<br />are not getting any satisfaction from CNN.<br />What does it take to get some real news.<br />Content is king and needs to be fresh with<br />new items constantly added into the mix<br />as the days progress.I am sorry laziness has<br />set in at CNN and it shows on the air big time.<br />How is that vital information.CNN should build<br />a set that is like a loft. A fun place to tune in<br />each day for news and information.I am tired<br />of regular people being ignored by cable news.<br />An area with books and monitors where you<br />can see the news coming in as it is happening.<br />Unless you are angry,a criminal or doing bad<br />stuff you will not be on the news, Are you <br />telling me there are not millions of stories<br />in a nation of 310 million. Arm all of your<br />staff with cell phones, every phone has a<br />camera these days. Iphones or Ipods for<br />live shots and face to face interviews. You<br />can stumble upon interesting things going<br />on but you have to find it and not limit it<br />to a few. The news is live on the streets<br />and it is not being televised. I want to see<br />newspapers. Ipads laptops and desktops.<br />How about the ultimate news experience.<br /><br />The coolest thing I have seen on CNN is the<br />grid they use on AM. How about making an<br />app that drags the video for stories to a<br />bin you add it to a timeline that is moving<br />and you can see each story as it plays.<br />Don't forget the media bar. i am sick of<br />the jumbo graphics and banner. Drop the<br />crawl when you run video or packages.<br />Adopt a crisp clean look like ABC. The<br />only thing they have on the screen most<br />of the time when a story is airing is the<br />ABC bug. Less is better. Don't cover up<br />the video or graphics. When you put a <br />graphic or video on the screen it is getting<br />lost and swallowed up by pac man graphics.<br /><br />From 9-5, how about dropping the solo anchor<br />format. Go with 3-4 hosts and cover a wide range<br />of topics. Limit politics to TSR and John King, Don't<br />even get me started about Elliot Spitzer. Another<br />hour of politics is the last thing CNN needs, let<br />alone an ideologue hour.In the era of Face Book,<br />You Tube & Twitter not a smart move at all.<br />Increasingly people are putting news on the<br />web. Look like you enjoy the news and bringing<br />viewers the world into their homes.No more<br />divisive journalism. Just bring us news stories<br />we get it/Analysis and spin are 2 different<br />things. Peter Bergen is one who gives us<br />analysis. The pundits do not. There is a big<br />difference. Your viewers are not stupid.Stop<br />living in a fantasy world in which you really<br />believe if we do what FNC & MSNBC are doing<br />and talk all of the time people will watch.<br />Wrong. Try some fresh ideas. A wide range<br />of news stories mean more than a wide <br />range of opinion.BIg deal. In this day and<br />time people can have their own broadband<br />channel and live stream events. Cable<br />news is becoming dated and out of touch.<br />Face Book is projected to have more than<br />a billion users in 2011. FB did not blow up<br />doing what everyone else was doing. It <br />offered people something they wanted.<br />Now even Google is concerned about FB.<br />CNN needs to be the news alternative and<br />quit manufacturing news stories that are<br />not news. Why do you insist on making<br />your viewers turn off CNN rather than<br />having viewers tune in to watch CNN.<br /><br />We will be posting more later.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6540471114822045290.post-79279900267585476612010-10-04T01:23:12.133-04:002010-10-04T01:23:12.133-04:00Alina Cho is one woman I would not watch.

If this show catches<br />on you have a show you can easily move to the<br />weekday schedule.

This<br />is something that can be done as soon as<br />next week.
