I can't believe CNN has hardly covered the story about the sex offender murderer in Ohio. The story is not even hardly mentioned in prime time yet Laci Peterson and Natalie Holloway got tons of coverage on CNN.
It is simple why CNN is in trouble. All week long they are focusing on the GOP. Infomania was so on this week about how cable news covered the election on Tuesday. They tried to make it all about Obama and how they focused on a few elections extensively afterwards. The emphasis being media can't help itself. The punch line Conor said he forget who he was dealing with. That is exactly why people are turning away from CNN . Do they really think Americans are focused on the GOP? Oh I forget it is CNN.
In television the year is pretty much winding down. It is November and things are coming to a close and the focus is moving to next year. The question is what will CNN do in 2010? Let's hope not the same as 2009.
At least 360 seems to be getting it's news mojo back. Let's hope viewers will come back.It was nice to see David G and Candy having a good discussion about health care.I like that Spud over at ICN is taking all of the 24/7 news channels to task for election overkill.CNN had better start realizing that things are changing and they can get ahead of the game with all of the resources they have and put them to use. If they just limit politics to TSR and SOU, I think people can live with that. The other hours should be devoted to interesting topics and a huge mix of stories that are interesting.. No doubt that something has to be done with programming.Anon 7:41 I am with you on AM . I don't understand why they are calling this only on CNN. Just because you decide to do a certain series does not make it an only on. Come on guys stop using false ads;it hurts your credibility and CNN can't afford to keep taking hits in the credibility department. They just need to find better and interesting ways to present the news and quit being lazy be going with the talking heads to fill time. I think CNN should also do segments on movies, music gaming and the internet.I love when the original 360 talked about movies and music. I even remember the REM video premiere on 360.
The choice of John King to take over for Lou Dobbs will not lead to better ratings for CNN. Everyone likes John King and he's very knowledgeable, but will they watch him?? If FOX has taught viewers anything, it is that they are hungry for opinion. Dobbs gave his opinion but he was out of touch with what CNN isn't. Until CNN decides what it is, everyone will fail.
