However, the BIGGEST mistake CNN made was discontinuing CNN International at 1PM on both coasts...the two biggest markets. Run it for an hour and give the two "jerks" in the PM less air time. It would be an interesting distraction from Domestic fare.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6540471114822045290.post-33456856048736662092010-03-16T01:21:32.558-04:002010-03-16T01:21:32.558-04:00Absolutely right.

CNN's<br />weekend talent seems more focused and<br />has better topics than CNN has on all week.<br />CNN should rotate between Fredericka &<br />Brooke Baldwin after American Morning and<br />give Kyra back her old time slot and come<br />up with a brand new 4pm show.Maybe<br />World Report can air before the Sit Room.<br />CNN has to do something about the 1-5<br />pm hours it is just not working and CNN<br />is actually losing viewers.I feel bad for<br />John King because another political show<br />at 7 will not fly.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6540471114822045290.post-84654478702783852322010-03-14T22:55:28.251-04:002010-03-14T22:55:28.251-04:00CNN is in trouble for not covering the news.
Last ...CNN is in trouble for not covering the news.<br />Last week there was a protest in DC in favor<br />of health care reform and it was ignored by<br />CNN and all of the other networks, yet CNN<br />said tonight it is covering the Tea Party on<br />Tuesday. I am starting to wonder if CNN <br />has ties to the Tea Party since they bought<br />ads on CNN, Something is just not adding<br />up and it will eventually come out. With<br />regards to international news that is a no<br />brainer. CNN is the only American news<br />network that has a global news reach.<br />It is really sad that the news is ignored<br />by CNN domestic. There is a huge appetite<br />for global news and CNN should have<br />global news on for 2 hours a day it is<br />essential and necessary.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6540471114822045290.post-72657806670396599262010-03-14T20:57:20.822-04:002010-03-14T20:57:20.822-04:00@10:21AM: Evidently, Maher has not yet seen or hea...@10:21AM: Evidently, Maher has not yet seen or heard the CNN "Know it NOT," Steve Perry...the Educational bimbo that was hired because he was ghetto raised and learned to read and write.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6540471114822045290.post-4203865126788471622010-03-14T16:54:31.642-04:002010-03-14T16:54:31.642-04:00I would like to see Anderson and Team 360

Not everyone is angry and bitter.<br />There are those of us who seek solutions rather<br />than stroke the flames of fear, hate and anger.<br />Those 3 elements are words used to describe<br />CNN in a lot of social media. People are sick<br />of it and are tuning out to the hate feast that<br />CNN displayed starting the summer of 2009.<br />People see trough the attempts by MSM to<br />absolutely misinform the public. The facts<br />are thrown out of the window in favor of<br />the faux issue of the day. One huge mistake<br />that has been playing out on CNN all week<br />long is trying to connect stimulus money<br />to the education crisis. The crisis they<br />are talking about is nothing new it has<br />been brewing for the last decade. Most<br />states use real estate taxes to fund schools.<br />By the way CNN there are school districts<br />that are not cutting staff or closing schools.<br />No doubt there are huge problems with<br />the American education system and it<br />is a topic that needs to be covered.<br />It is funny you can go to local media <br />in Kansas CIty via your computer and <br />see CNN is not giving you all of the facts.<br />That is the major issue with CNN these<br />days the network leaves out too much<br />of the story and it is fairly simple to<br />bust them by launching a Google search.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6540471114822045290.post-44653736772576355782010-03-12T23:37:07.071-05:002010-03-12T23:37:07.071-05:00CNN needs to play the rebel and resist the

CJR<br />took a look a the newsrooms at FNC<br />& MSNBC and reached the conclusion<br />that they really don't have much of an<br />operation. Personally, old and new<br />have to coexist. The trick is to find the<br />right mix.CNN needs to do something<br />other than politics 24/7.IMHO AM<br />needs to add a couple of more people<br />and go with 4 hosts. Have John & Kiran<br />but rotate with people from CNN I. &<br />CNN and the new breed of journos.<br />The other morning shows are not<br />the same thing over and over again.<br />I could understand this if CNN were<br />a local news station without the<br />resources so I don't get why they use<br />the loop format. For goodness sake<br />CNN book better guest.CNN is not<br />very good a story selection. Most<br />importantly. There needs to be<br />a move away from the talking heads.<br />In the age of FaceBook, YouTube,<br />I-phone apps that let me stream<br />my own live shots to my computer<br />and being able to set up my own<br />broadband channel on the web.<br />Current TV is way ahead of the game<br />when it comes to the new style of<br />journalism. I can tell you that the big<br />3 have noticed and the digital reporter<br />for NBC was one of the original people<br />to file what Current calls pods.CNN had<br />better be real careful because if you<br />have Fios you can get ABC News Now,<br />CNN International & the 24 hr BCC<br />network. Finally, CNN needs a more<br />inviting set. The anchors are just<br />sitting at the desk. They need open<br />sets in both NYC and ATl. Call a news<br />loft is you will. So you have a library<br />area where you could do interviews<br />have a globe and maps on the wall<br />a table and chairs for gathering and<br />please be conversational. There are<br />way too many times when I fell CNN<br />is talking at me and not to me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6540471114822045290.post-60409347411372314842010-03-12T01:31:06.849-05:002010-03-12T01:31:06.849-05:00Loved that article.
