The Huffington Post has the best article on CNN.
They are echoing some of our views mentioned on
this blog. They say point blank, management made
bad decisions and need to go. They also point out
how CNN has become such a circus. They mention
the failed Parker Sptizer and how bad a decision it
was to hire Piers Morgan as Larry's successor. Also,
Out Front, Starting Point and John King. They even
pointed out how Anderson is ruining 360. Return
to the original 360. It puts the current edition to
shane and was so much better. Here comes the
onslaught of bad press. No one can believe they
are still running CNN.
Yep, there has been an onslaught on bad press lately due to CNN's horrible ratings. Sad part is, (and I've seen this mentioned on another comment) the ratings in May are shaping up to be even worse. Now there is chatter Anderson may leave CNN to go to CBS. I think he should do it - maybe then he will get back to real news. The "panel" on Starting Point is killing Soledad. Seriously, who cares about Will Cain and John Fugelsang. The best part of Starting Point is the first 7 minutes of the show where Soledad flies solo. Of course, I also have a serious problem with the content they are pushing. On CNN, death at Churchill Downs, more suicide sportstars, Facebook IPO which devolved into what Zuckerberg is wearing. Fortunately, on NPR they were talking French elections, Greek elections, how will this effect Europe and economy in general. Listening/watching these two broadcasts - its clear, CNN sucks and NPR rocks.
