After reading this promotional release, if anyone actually believes this bull ----, I have wetlands in Jersey I'd like to sell you, and I'm being polite.
CNN is having a 21st century breakdown. Due
to mobile devices people are now spending more
time online than watching tv, Hint CNN start live
streaming CNN,HLN & CNN I , develop half hr
webcasts that is fast paced. Provide full episodes
of 360 right after they air on CNN.com. Let's
drop the pundits and add more news and real
time news.CNN does not offer fresh news or
a unique style of journalism or storytelling and
they are fading away fast.I really don't understand
why CNN misuses all of the TW resources.
CNN could be the world's largest information,
content source. From the data it is clear that
CNN digital is thriving. Drop the crawl & annoying
gigantic graphics that obstruct video and don't
have anything on the screen with graphics.
Please use modern music. The AM music theme
is bad and boring. Even commercials use music
that is modern to connect with people.In the
morning, where are the sports scores ,CNN
needs to be fresh. Instead of the crawl, use
the news as you are going in and out of breaks
with songs like Reckoner from Radiohead or
All The Young Dudes.CNN whenever you air
video or packages use a media bar a simple
banner in the middle of the screen and just
the CNN logo.
TVNewser has already condemned this CNN release saying that the only positive info CNN can tout on its own behalf is "their metric reach." While they may have the ability to reach and a positive projection, how many viewers actually view them is an entirely different matter.
Last night on the Daily Show, Jon Stewart had
a message for CNN. In a nutshell, you are now
the subject of much ridicule.CNN is just awful.
JS really picked apart the promo for Piers
Morgan. This guy has no business replacing
Larry King and is a huge blunder for the suits
at CNN. Ironically, JS ran the clip featuring Ted
Turner announcing the launch of a 24 hour
news channel. I won't even talk about the Dumb
& Dumber clip that aired during Ali Velshi. It was
tasteless. It is an embarrassment and a new
low for CNN. The suits had better fix the first
2 hours of prime time in CNN by canceling
Parker Spitzer & Piers Morgan. The have
severely damage a once great cable news
channel that was committed to bringing
you the news and keeping you informed.
Now CNN is silliness and political opinion.
Don't even bother watching the Crappy
News Network.
Odd how Larry King has really made a friend of Ryan Seacrest. If left up to "the king," he would have much preferred HIM to this ego maniac that Cnn management persued.
I'm not a fan of Ryan Seacrest, and he seems to be doing quite well without this CNN gig, but my guess is, Larry's pick was a whole lot better.
Jon Stewart slammed CNN last nite for picking this pompous -ss.
What is especially offensive is Morgan's promo about "television theater." Accoridng to Jon, TV is "not theater."
If ONLY Jon and Larry had had, their say.
I am sick of seeing the face of Piers Morgan.
This is the straw that breaks the camel's back
for me. Goodbye CNN. Keith said it best on
Countdown tonight, CNN will realize how
badly they will miss Larry King.CNN is about
to feel the heat from the press with regards
to the ratings for Parker Spitzer. The show
is performing worst than Campbell and she
was let go. Check out Mediaite.360 is going
to be really hurt by Piers Morgan. It is the
wrong show to have on right before CNN's
highest rated show. The combo of Parker
Spitzer and Piers Morgan is ratings repellent.
Now CNN has another promo airing saying
journalism maters. People are not stupid
CNN like we don't know Eliot Spitzer,
Kathleen Parker and Piers Morgan are not
journalists. None of them know anything
about news and reporting.
AC may help the ego maniac Piers, transition into Larry's seat, because it seems, Morgan wouldn't be ready until mid-January and AC is taking over the 9PM show.
If AC had wanted that spot permanently, he could have had it.
Why he chose to go to daytime is a myster to me.
TVNewser is reporting that syndication and the money behind it, is NOT what it used to be and Katie Couric may be the next person looking for a syndicated talk show.
Soon they'll be sooo many talk shows they'll be no one left, to talk to.
My guess is they can ALL speak to each other.
Jon Stewart devoted his whole show, in a serious tone, to the 9/11 responders, who were present.
He was outraged that Congress failed to pass health care for first responders, that was a separate bill from the tax bill, but part of the entire package.
How inept they all are and the entire time I kept wondering why Stewart wasn't a REAL ANCHOR.
Yes, he usually likes to have fun with politics, but this wasn't funny and he wasn't joking and cable could really use someone as skillful as he, doing REAL NEWS.
Instead we have people like Ali Velchi, and Spitzer and Parker and a whole list of inadequate boob tubes, substituting for what....ANCHORS??
They are as inept as Congress!
CNN does not know what journalism is either.
That is why they have the most ridiculous promos.
None of their promos make any sense. Jon Stewart
stated what others have said about the Morgan
promo on this blog.I really don't understand the
logic at CNN anymore. If you fire Jon Klein, why
in the world would you continue with his plans ?
Once CNN decided to give Klein the boot they
should have nixed any plans he had for prime
time. Given his track record, why keep his plans
in place,no alternatives.CNN will loose viewers in
big numbers for replacing Larry King with
a British jerk. What's wrong with CNN.
Larry King is an American legend. Piers Morgan
is a fired tabloid journalist, who can't get a
job in British news. What the heck is he
doing on CNN.CNN just keeps insults the
few viewers they have left. I guess they really
want to ruin CNN. Their goal has been achieved.
@7:09AM: Couldn't have said it better. Nailed it!
Haiti didn't do it, reporting from the Gulf didn't do it, honoring the annual Heroes didn't do it either, BUT, Thursday's final tribute to Larry King, Did finally give AC 360, over a million plus viewers. The LONG good-bye was finally over.
If only CNN could find a way to resuscitate Larry every time they needed and didn't get a million viewers, which is EVERY NITE.
And Larry and all his well wishers didn't do badly either, with over 2
million viewers looking to say their good-byes.
