I must say that I am happy with a certain change that has occurred at CNN. I'm not sure if anyone else has noticed, but for the past month, CNN has been responsibly and carefully using the BREAKING NEWS banner ONLY when necessary. They are no longer over using it on just anything anymore. So happy this is happened.

I've noticed this thing recently that Piers Morgan is doing called Pride Of America on his show where he and a guest sit down in what seems to be a different set, in arm chairs rather than a table. Maybe CNN is testing something different for Piers Morgan? He should be let go from prime time and just conduct an interview in this format to air weekends. It's what he is best at doing. Why is he such a Larry King format copycat? One sit down interview every weekend is best. I don't think he would be great at co-hosting political events on CNN. Hopefully a change like this can occur soon before the presidential conventions begin.

CNN needs to focus more on being a straight forward news channel, like what they used to be and what Al Jazeera English is today. I also don't understand why I see so many comments saying "this reporter leans too much to the left" or "this anchor leans too much to the right". I only see that with pundits or perhaps political correspondents and as a devoted CNN viewer, I don't see that with their anchors. You may have seen one certain story being spoken about that made you assume that when that is not the case.

CNN's coverage on immigration is a joke. Not all
illegal immigrants are Latino. There are illegals in
America from Europe, Canada, Asia, Africa, The
Middle East. As usual. media morons can't tell the
full story. CNN called on the same people as Lou
Dobbs when he had his rants. CNN is incapable of
having a constructive conversation about news
stories. The is a consensus that pundits are ruining
CNN but apparently they don't think so. 360 had to
lead with 3 talking heads. I turned the channel and
never went back.

CNN should be more like Euronews. Their motto
is we trust the intelligence of our viewers so we
present facts and news without opinion or bias.
It is stunning that CNN thinks pundits are relevant.
Sure just sit back and have your talent toss loaded
questions to pundits to repeat tired played out lines.
You don't even have to watch because you already
will know the words they will say. They have to
wonder why their ratings are tanking. Management
at CNN should be forced to watch their own channel
for 24 hours. Put themselves in viewers shoes and
they would turn the channel too. As Jon Stewart
says CNN is terrible.

CNN is completely doomed. There is no creativity,
innovation at the network to move CNN forward and
overhaul CNN's approach to news. It doesn't matter
that viewers are strongly stating to CNN that they
are not digging CNN as a talking head nonsense
dumbed down nothing to do with news or info
channel. CNN obviously doesn't care for viewers
and sticks with pundits no matter what. I am taking
a break from CNN. I don't think I will miss a thing.
MSNBC is winning because CNN makes itself totally
unwatchable.

Viewers have already made up their minds about
Piers Morgan and Erin Burnett. Changing the format
will not work. Viewers have to like the show hosts to
invite them into their homes daily. Who would watch
a host they don't like ?

OMG. CNN finally did something right. The noon
hour is now called CNN INTERNATIONAL. There 's
1 criticism that I do have. The crawl should all be
about international news for an hour. Some of the
news on the crawl during the Rwanda genocide
segment were not appropriate. Maybe they can
match up the crawl with information on the news
stories that are airing. Liked the content and flow.
Suzanne Malveaux did a great job handing the hour.

Focusing on global news for an entire hour is the
best move by CNN in ages. CNN should be better
at mashups with stories and the crawl. Maybe CNN
is working on their content issues.

360 needs to wake up and stop leading the show
with 3 talking heads. What a boring way to kickoff
primetime on CNN. 360 failed to report what the
President actually said or talk to anyone who will
be affected by the policy change. How about talking
with people who have a connection to the story rather
than pundits to come on and run their mouths.

Evening Express was also a good move for HLN.
Let's hope CNN is getting back to it's roots and
going heavily with the news and interviews that
enhance conversations. 360 books some of the
most annoying people on the planet. Instead of
Marcia Clark, how about Ryan Smith ? She lsot
the OJ Simpson case so why does that qualify
her to come on and talk about cases. 360 drop
the pundits before it is too late and you lose
viewers who will not come back. PMT is sinking
fast and going lower than 360 at 8 in the demo.
Having Out Front & PMT as lead-ins is a big
mistake that is costing CNN viewers.
