  1. I'm confused . I thought The Atlanta Child Murders
    runs tomorrow and Dave Mattingly's doc was on
    tonight. Great news for Isha Sesay fans. She is
    about to become part of the 360 family. I like that
    beginning Monday CNN will try and get some of
    the anchors from CNN International.It all begins
    at 4 AM.I say it is simple guys. Support the shows
    you like and the ones you don't like just turn the
    television off. We all have the power of the remote
    or dvr.

  2. @anonymous 3:09,
    This is the information we received from CNN yesterday.
    The press release we received on Isha is posted at All Things Anderson.

    CNN these days.

  4. Conor Knighton is available for CNN. On
    Current he hosted Infomania and was the
    executive producer for the show. How about
    hiring him as a contributor on American Morning.
    I thought a while back that CNN hired Kaj from
    Vanguard. Where is he and Amber Lyon. Hire
    the other Vanguard correspondents as well.
    Current is horrible and a huge letdown for what
    was suppose to a a news type of news network.

  5. What is wrong with CNN ? Today's NYT has
    an article about how Americans & Israelis
    created a worm to delay Iran's nuclear program.
    Is that not more important than Piers Morgan ?
    Good grief CNN, it is a celebrity interview show.
    Where are the promos the news ? CNN used to
    be the go to destination for governments and
    important people in the world because you
    could get the news you needed from around
    the world. Try news CNN. I feel sorry for those
    who don't have CNN I. Happy for Isha.

  6. OK CNN do something about the content on AM.
    The big stories that everyone is talking about are
    The Jets, Golden Globes. MLK Day & Miss America,
    being she is just 17 and how could they miss the
    Miss Arkansas skit . What does CNN lead with.The
    so-called healthcare repeal vote. Meanwhile on
    MJ & ME more content and the stories that people
    are talking about in the morning. I am betting that
    majority of the morning news viewers don't wake
    up with politics on the brain. MIJ plays music for
    people who are 45 and older and ME is playing
    songs for the 18-34 crowd.Do they really think
    anyone is going to watch that in the morning.
    It is different if there is a big political story.
    Why not open the show with a quote from MLK
    Jr. and the new Life.com photos and start with
    what people are really talking about.. How many
    times do we need to see the face of the Arizona
    killer or hear his words.AM will never grow until
    they really fix the content and add music . AM
    needs to start with fresh content and stuff
    people really care about.AM is a real downer.

  7. Stop going to the 360 blog apparently it is now the
    Piers Morgan blog. Why in the world would CNN
    think 360 fans like Piers Morgan. They are not the
    same type of shows.If they are getting rid of the
    360 blog they should tell us. It should only be a
    360 blog. We go there to find out about 360.
