CNN correspondent Deborah Feyerick reports on the latest updates into the search, capture, arrest and investigation surrounding the former FBI Most Wanted, notorious Boston mob boss, James “Whitey” Bulger. Correspondent Kaj Larsen takes the USS Honolulu, a nuclear powered hunter-killer submarine, to the North Pole in what is designed to be a brazen display of US primacy and power in the arctic region. He treks across the ice to an outpost to check out the US presence in the region, and conduct a series of interviews to learn which country is ahead in the race to control the top of the world. Also, correspondent Sandra Endo profiles “the ultimate sport” - cheerleading.
* King interviews Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, Rupert Grint, Tom Felton, Helena Bonham Carter and Robbie Coltrane, and discusses never-before-seen footage from the film, just days before the film’s global premiere. James and Oliver Phelps, who play the Weasley twins, take viewers on a tour of the Wizarding World of Harry Potter at the Universal Orlando Resort and interact with fans.
**In the second of a two-part special, as the U.S. prepares for the troop drawdown in Afghanistan, CNN chief medical correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta reports with CNN Pentagon correspondent Barbara Starr on the medical breakthroughs developed on the battlefields. This special includes profiles of Dr. John Holcomb, formerly the Commander of the U.S. Army Institute of Surgical Research and Trauma Consultant for the Army Surgeon General, before joining the University of Texas Health Science Center where he oversaw the care and treatment of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-AZ). Dr. Gupta also interviews USAF pilot Rob Waldman about overcoming claustrophobia, and Starr reports from the University of Maryland R. Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center in Baltimore where Maj. Joseph Dubose (USAF), Col. David Powers (former Director C-STARS Baltimore, Ret.) train doctors like Lt. Col. Allan Ward (USAF) and Maj. John Renshaw (USAF) and nurses who are headed to Afghanistan as they sharpen their trauma experience for practice in war theater. Maj. DuBose describes this exchange of knowledge as a century-old practice of battle-experienced physicians returning from war with very useful insights for civilian medical care.
I don't know if CNN would ever hire Toure,
ReplyDeleteAisha Tyler or Srombo but it is clear they
have to do something. IMHO MSNBC is
growing because of diversity, smart talk.
MSNBC looks hip and resembles a college
campus. At this time I can't give you a good
description for CNN. Lost is the best word.
According to TV by the Numbers CNN is 4th.
It will be interesting to see if 360 can keep
those demo numbers at 8 . When the show
began AC had to be well over 300 thousand
to end up with 293,000 in the demo. It's my
theory that AC beats Last Word in the demo.
It will be interesting to see the total viewers.
Ironically, 360 does not have to get a million
viewers to get big demos like the others. He
got nearly 300 thousand in the demo with
just 782,000 viewers.CNN has to focus more
on content,story-telling, better use of video
presentation, infograhics, animation , etc. I
really wish Anderson would do a news version
of the Ridiculist at the beginning of 360. You
have to do something to get viewers to tune
in at the beginning.
CNN needs to stop showing so many repeats
ReplyDeleteand be live as much as possible. FNC & CNN
are ideological talking points. MSNBC is more
freestyle. I don't know if CNN has much time
but if MSNBC gets to consistently averaging
1 million or more in prime time, that is more
problems for CNN, which has yet to figure out
the MSNBC puzzle. How will they ever catch
FNC ? Listen to Jon Stewart CNN. 360 won't
move until some 3 weeks from now but if the
numbers dip before that time it won't matter.
By the way those 6 PM numbers are for Al
Sharpton, which just goes to show viewers will
watch anything but CNN.
CNN is completely politically tone deaf.
ReplyDeleteCNN's political coverage doesn't talk to
viewers. It is all about them and screw
the viewers. On the other hand MSNBC
talks to viewers never forgetting to look
at the camera and look you in the eye.
Meanwhile on CNN, the beltway mentality.
They need to be in the thick of the mess.
CNN can't even acknowledge viewers. So
CNN really wants to disengage viewers.
That failure mission is going great.CNN
made MSNBC a solid # 2. Hardball is so
hot. I wonder if it is the same for Dylan.
MSNBC aint giving up Toure. Everybody
can see CNN is so over and done.
In 2011.there is no need for news to use
ReplyDeletepundits. Jon Stewart went on Crossfire
and completely destroyed the show and
the concept. It is useless information.Yet
CNN still doesn't get it. Comedians are
much better handling the news than what
is passing as journalists these days. JS &
others do their homework. There is a reason
Jon Stewart is trusted. He focuses on facts.
