CNN PRESENTS: Selling A Miracle? 8:00pm – 9:00pm & 11:00pm – 12:00am

Program Descriptions:
Voters in America: Vets Wanted?
Multiple deployments interrupt lives, careers, and can lead to health and financial challenges. Featuring narration by former U.S. Army infantryman and motivational speaker JR Martinez and contributions from veteran and veteran’s advocate Paul Rieckhoff, Vets Wanted looks at the unique burdens for families of men and women who have served in Iraq and Afghanistan, and follows the reintegration of members of the Georgia National Guard’s 877th Engineering Company back into civilian life. Deployed to Afghanistan in December 2010, more than half of these veterans faced unemployment when they returned to the U.S. The documentary also examines whether the bipartisan Veterans Jobs Bill passed in November 2011 is of any help as our nation’s heroes make full transitions back to the lives they left to defend America, and offers insights into how veterans’ unemployment may impact their decisions as they head to the polls this November.

CNN PRESENTS: Selling A Miracle?
CNN investigative correspondent Drew Griffin reports from India and the United States on a New Delhi clinic that promises hope for desperate American patients through embryonic stem cell injections, treatment that is outlawed in America. Over 85 patients have paid an average of $25,000 each for treatments for diseases ranging from ALS to spinal cord injuries to genetic disorders.

Voters in America: Who Counts
The second installment in CNN’s Voters in America series continues with an in-depth look at how election law changes enacted in 14 states since 2008 may influence the election. With a focus on the primarily partisan battle lines within the swing state of Florida, Who Counts dissects the arguments for and against new rules that may impact poll access for the elderly, students, and minorities. Proponents of the rules changes argue that tighter restrictions on registration and poll access will prevent fraud; opponents say the new laws are confusing, unevenly written for different counties even within the same state, and intimidating for already disadvantaged populations. Who Counts is narrated by actor Jesse Williams.

  1. CNN gets busted again. Media Matters is reporting
    that CNN has pundits on the payroll who are feeding
    the craziness that President Obama was born in
    Kenya, That means CNN management believes this
    stuff. They made the decisions to hire these people.
    Why ? CNN management is permitting the network
    to be highjacked by a the right wing hate machine.
    CNN management brought them onboard so that
    means CNN is playing a role in spreading lies.
    CNN thinks we are stupid. Unfortunately for them,
    viewers are much more smarter and turning from
    CNN in droves. I refuse to watch TSR or John
    KIng for that very reason. Jack Cafferty has really
    bought into this stuff.

  2. CNN needs to restore it's journalistic credibility. CNN
    went so far over the cliff with POV that the network
    forgot about facts, reporting and interview skills,
    Viewers are hip that so much of what you see on
    CNN is not true. Somewhere along the lines CNN
    decided that facts don't matter and that viewers.
    needed opinion and not real journalism CNN is
    just making stuff up and going with whatever FNC
    says the news is suppose to be. CNN should realize
    that their viewers are likely to be informed and are
    hip that it is BS coming out of the mouths of CNN
    contributors. CNN is not even smart enough to
    bring on people who can intelligently discuss
    very complex issues. People who know what
    they are talking about and won't lie to viewers.
    If I wanted FNC, I would be watching them why
    go with the knock off if you can get real thing.
    This is not CNN. Where has CNN gone ? As far
    as CNN is concerned pundits are experts. Only
    on Planet CNN and viewers are taking the first
    starship out ASAP.

    CNN has literally lied to their viewers, How many
    times has Erin Burnett gotten busted ? She does
    not even realize that the United States is not
    Greece, Spain or the Eurozone. When it comes
    to the crisis in Europe, Ezra Klein gets it. Erin
    Burnett does not.

    Piers Morgan can't conduct interviews. What
    CNN saw in him is anybody's guess. The people
    who approved PMT, Out Front & Starting Point
    should be fired. They obviously can't do their
    jobs.CNN stop insulting the intelligence of
    viewers unless you think you don't need us.

    CNN decides to give the pundits a morning show.
    Come up with games for them to play all day long.
    What is in it for CNN viewers. Absolutely nothing.
    Nothing up substance. Nothing gained.

    MSNBC is staring to attract 18-34 yr olds for the
    simple reason that we are now a global society.
    You need to be informed MSNBC is smarter than
    CNN. Like we are not suppose to see that CNN
    has actually deceased the amount of news. Where
    is the news. So CNN is no longer in the news biz.

    CNN completely gets every story wrong leaving
    out vital facts by trying to make something that
    is not news news. Are viewers suppose to not
    catch on to CNN. There is a negative perception
    of CNN that can't be undone. I know CNN is lying
    because I have seen the same stories on CBS,
    NBC & ABC.

    CNN let unqualified hacks run the news on their
    network and now they are seeing the consequences.
    The IQ on CNN has dropped significantly. CNN
    just hired Jon Alvalon's wife. CNN is still not
    getting it. The pundits outnumber journalists and
    shows how badly run a news organization CNN
    has become. Bad decision after bad decision.The
    person who hired the birthers, tea partiers and
    Obama conspirators should be fired. If people
    like this have made it to the management ranks
    of CNN, that concerns me. For far too long CNN
    has been a conduit to hate, misinformation and
    made up manufactured so- called news stories.


    CNN needs to find their David Rhodes. Someone
    in their 30's who has a strong commitment to
    news and rock solid journalism. It will be a long
    tine before I become a loyal CNN viewer again.
    They made me turn the channel.

  3. You guys might be on to something when it
    comes to a women's news show. Just this morning
    Melissa Harris Perry had a group of young women
    on MHP and the spoke about how you just don't
    see women doing things in the media. You don't
    see smart or strong women who defy all of those
    stereotypes. Imagine the strong message a group
    of ethnically diverse female journalists would send,
    Basically, the news is from a male POV. MSNBC
    has the ability to do such a show like this at 7 PM.
    CNN had better beat them to the punch.

  4. Interesting how the 10PM weekend hour is no longer titled "CNN Newsroom" but is now "@donlemoncnn".

  5. Content is the way to save CNN. It is not about
    opinion. Television is a visual medium . Bloggers
    are not journalists. They can't provide CNN with
    a tsunami of content. Instead of going to these
    blogs for content. CNN should be digging for
    content that we don't know about. I can easily
    find 50 plus stories for Starting Point that we
    have not heard about all day long. CNN must
    transition to a content provider. Old media like
    CNN has to get back to connecting with viewers.
    The best way to do this is to give them content
    that you can actually gain something from.
    There is no excuse for CNN still on a story
    that is more than 24 hrs old with nothing new,
    Can you say old media. It is all about working
    hard for your viewers. Design news show with
    the viewers/costumers in mind right from the
    start. Video content is going to be so crucial.
    Even Mashable is using video. So it is not just
    all about story content but video too. Most
    people know these blogs are not news sources
    so why does CNN try to turn their non news
    into legit news. CNN is suppose to be a news
    source. ESPN has been around as long as CNN,
    do you hear anything about them struggling
    in the ratings. It is simple ESPN would never
    abandon it's core principles. The piling on
    does not matter, it is about CNN finding real
    solutions to their mountain of troubles. Any
    changes CNN make must be visible to any
    viewers they hope to get back and newer ones
    they hope to gain.

    It is al about adapting, evolving, innovation
    and creativity. CNN is in dire need of a serious
    news makeover. By the way those news trailer
    you guys are talking about is done daily on
    ESPN. So CNN using music and video would
    be nothing new. You have to find ways to keep
    the viewers watching for a very long time and
    opinion will never be that big of a draw for
    CNN. CNN can't be FNC or MSNBC. CNN needs
    to be CNN.

  6. Cable news yet again is going bonkers trying to
    say that Corey is at odds with President Obama
    over Bain. Failing to use the entire statement &
    not putting things into proper perspective. The
    man was saying both sides were nauseating. You
    don't have to wonder why they are in trouble. Like
    you can't go on the internet and see what really
    was said. Sure Corey Booker only talked about
    Obama but not others. Do your jobs and stop
    being a part of chattering masses. Politico says
    Rush's ratings are down. So CNN certainly does
    not need to listen to him.
