Okay. We know that CNN has to release press releases, but do we have to read them??
By now we all know it's a bunch of bull.
Pathetic. MSNBC's Phil Griffin does not even
worry about CNN anymore. He is setting his
sights on fFOX. Losers.
Keep in mind that Time Warner ,which owns CNN,
is a content company. TW needs ad dollars less
than the others and that is the problem for CNN.
It is not losing money for TW. So they don't care.
That is why CNN Domestic is horrible compared
to CNN International. The big thing for TW is the
content they can distribute on multiple platforms.
TW cares more about the content on CNN I &
CNN.dot.com than CNN in the states. I think that
is unfortunate for American news consumers. We
don't get decent programming and viewers are
not exactly watching CNN these day. Nothing will
change at CNN unless they lose money and that
is not happening.I would really like to see CNN
stream CNN I for free for customers who have
CNN & HLN but don't have access to CNN I.
CNN please hire George Stroumboulopoulos.
Let you all in on a secret. CNN I is so popular
that some websites offer free live streaming.
There is a demand for the channel. I know all
media giants hate that but we can't get it any
other way. Global news is important.
Right now David Muir is the only American
reporter in Somalia. How come Anderson is
not in the region live for a week.
Actually, CNN made Phil Griffin's job easy. CNN
is it's own worst enemy. CNN is so busy trying
to sell Piers Morgan that they neglect CNN. News
took a backseat and that likely bothered newsies
who were once loyal to CNN.MSNBC gets it right
and CNN gets it all wrong. Hello, 4th place. If
they don't get the message from viewers now,
they never will. How many ways can viewers say:
CNN you suck.
Get real. Rachel Maddow and Lawrence O'Donnell
have already surpassed 360.I think CNN's hope
is for 360 to pull viewers away from MSNBC &
HLN. I am skeptical because 360 in no longer
on the same level as Rachel & Lawrence. It is
as if 360 has been downgraded.
CNN has got to get back to being the Google of
news. You used to be able to turn to CNN and
get some news and vital information. You used
to be able to find it all at CNN. While CNN was
being sloppy, MSNBC was being smart. That
sums things up in a nutshell. MSNBC outsmarted
CNN. It is like MSNBC is playing chess and CNN
is just learning checkers. Time Warner is a
business and CNN is 1 of their many properties.
It is bad business to run CNN into the ground.
I don't hear words used like smart,intelligent
or informative when people talk about CNN. It
is more about disdain for what they have become.
I don't know who moderates this site, but I'm very disappointed that you feel the way some of your commenters do, that anyone who talks about AC360/Anderson here are "stalkers" and you refuse to print any comments from them, yet you print these nasty comments like 1:46 on the previous post. But you got what you wanted. I'm done with this site. Of course I know this won't get posted either, but I wanted to say it anyway. I hope you do consider removing Anderson's picture from this site and changing the name of it to "All Things CNN (except for Anderson Cooper/AC360)".
