I think Ted<br />Koppel is right. These times call for serious <br />journalism and conversation. CNN needs to realize<br />these are serious times. How can you ask a<br />question about war and then laugh like it is not<br />serious ?

Don't care to watch<br />the lame financial show those two are on the<br />weekends sure as heck not interested in <br />seeing them for 3 hours in the morning.<br /><br />We all know CNN never met a pundit it did<br />not like so CNN will soon let the pundits <br />replace the journalists.

If CNN makes it about the<br />news and not boring talk, they will be fine.<br />People go on Euro News and find channels on<br />You Tube that cuts through the chatter. So CNN<br />had better focus on what their people out in the<br />field are capturing and not opinion. People tune<br />in when there is something to see and it has to<br />be quality journalism. People know who the real<br />journalists are and you can't fool the people. If<br />CNN wants to beat Fox, they should study new<br />media and stop trying to copy Fox. There is a<br />reason people are tuned to CNN and not Fox.<br /><br />The questions do make CNN look dated. There<br />is so much that is mobile these days. I can<br />use my phone to go to certain websites to see<br />CNN for free. Stop assuming people are just<br />sitting in front of a computer.

Even after he was shown clips of interviews he did with both President Bush and Obama.<br />One was friendly and the other contentious and disrespectful.<br />While I personally don't mind Bret Baier, to show disrespect to the POTUS is unforgiveable no matter what side of the political spectrum you fall.<br />The interview in full, is now on TVN and is worth a look if only to see a person in denial of what he is actually representing: FOX NEWS.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6540471114822045290.post-60289732931943671812011-03-25T19:41:29.772-04:002011-03-25T19:41:29.772-04:00If CNN were to do a women's news show,

Aren't they suppose to just REPORT the news and not try to CREATE it? Their anti-Obama stance continues to show. CNN needs to learn that they don't need to mirror Fox in order to get good ratings. I'd like to believe that Ken Jautz is going to put less emphasis on politics, but since he's the person who brought Glenn Beck to tv, I don't have much faith in what he says.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6540471114822045290.post-78288076247438231582011-03-25T11:17:52.214-04:002011-03-25T11:17:52.214-04:00CNN thinks the tea party is the face of America.

CNN<br />is still having that tired old talk about the<br />whining members of Congress. Presidents<br />have done this and will continue to do this.<br />The story has progressed and CNN seems <br />to not be following the news anymore and<br />they will suffer a big ratings hit. CNN is<br />trying to ignore the facts as if we won't<br />see what they are trying to pull off. Won't<br />work, on to you. That is why old media is<br />dying they can't handle the fact that they<br />can't control the information.If CNN can't<br />see that the era of politics, ideology an<br />opinion has to end, they won't be around<br />much longer. The news is saving them <br />and they don't even get the message. It<br />is the blind leading the blind. Richard<br />Haas said it best on 360 the other night,<br />we are were we are. Stop focusing on<br />something that is a moot point. Last<br />night on 360 Nicholas Burns called what<br />the Obama administration has done brilliant.<br />It is funny because people have been watching<br />CNN in big numbers during the breaking news.<br />Now we are not suppose to remember what<br />we saw prior to the nonsense that is now<br />on CNN.
