  1. Hey guys there is actually a new 360 blog.

  2. It is an improvement but it should have been
    done 5 years ago. they say there is more to
    come.I am surprised they don't have a link
    to Stumbled Upon as well. I am concerned it
    is too Digg like. It is the popular items that
    killed the website and took people right to
    Reddit.CNN shows have to be available online.
    Everything is going mobile.

  3. It is royal wedding week on CNN. If you
    believe CBS, only 6 % care about the event.
    Those who do are older women. The ratings
    will be interesting this week. The fact that
    subs on 360 had higher demos than regulars
    is definitely not a good thing. Perhaps viewers
    have already made up their minds about Spitzer
    and Morgan. Huge thumbs down. I'm looking
    to see who suffered the worst loss of viewers
    with the 24/7's. It is shaping up as a downer
    month for cable news. We will get the real
    deal next week. The numbers don't lie.
    John KIng is not the problem.

  4. CNN hire George Stroumboulopoulos.
    Dude is the total package. Let's hear
    the words it's your boyfriend on CNN.

  5. I have already turned to Morning Joe from
    London. It is as different as night and day.
    CNN has a big problem with American Morning.
    Last week on Jeopardy, a contestant thought
    Morning Joe was on CNN. That says to me what
    people want and expect to see on CNN. Joe
    Scarborough succeeds and Eliot Spitzer fails.
    It is simple. Joe knows he is not a journalist,
    so he surrounds himself with journalists and
    not pundits. Joe doesn't act like it is all about
    him. Unfortunately CNN has already lost
    ground to BBC & AL Jazeera English. I am not
    sure what CNN is these days but it is not a
    news channel at all.

  6. Really CNN. Ali Velshi & Christine Romans
    anchoring a morning news show. Gee I
    guess the bosses at CNN like their crappy
    business show which is totally worthless.

  7. OK folks. Fox News just hit a big one right out of the box according to TVN.
    Harris Faulkner, I LOVE her.
    She did cut-ins for Fox and was all dolled up, and then she went to Atlanta as a regular anchor, and now she's being promoted as anchor for Sundays on Fox.
    This is why Fox succeeds and CNN continues to fail.
    Ailes keeeps an eye on his talent and knows their strengths.
    CNN just keeps on going on the same way and never developing new talent.
    They rely too heavily on what they've got and then what they've got becomes plain stale.
