Maybe Candy Crowley can get a position under the big tent. Or as a big tent.

Oh, wait... They have that now right here!

If they would go the route of providing straight unbiased news along with good investigative reporting on important news, they could take the lead, IMO. We need a news organization that will take the lead on moving news gathering with honesty and integrity.
Just look at the topics in which they could be of great service to the public - Obamacare, NSA, Benghazi, Fast and Furious, etc. There is so much meat on which to chew - and we are hungry for answers from reporters we trust.
The New Prez at CNN was the old Pres at NBC Entertainment, that wrote Obama’s Styrofoam Columns speech.
So CNN is going “MSNBC”. Imagine that one, eh?
Will the new CNN slogan be “Bend Over??? ... err, I mean “Lean Forward”?
Bourdain is an admitted lib, but he does have one of the best jobs in the world. Travel and eat…. that is my kinda dream job.
The elephant in the room is the top cable news show is FOX. I believe FOX presents what the public wants in a fair and balanced manner. They just don’t hold back on the Liberals and their idiocy like CNN does.
So, maybe CNN needs to clean up it’s News and go fair and balanced like FOX. Get rid of all your News presenters and News shapers who’s spouses work for the administration instead of trying to be more like the Discovery Channel.
Can u imagine FreeRepublic TV? Or DrudgeTV?
!!!!!!
Who should we copy, Fox or MSNBC?
MSNBC!
Yes, MSNBC
MSNBC
I agree, MSNBC
All in favor? Aye, aye, aye, aye, aye.
OK, start programming.
Here’s a novel idea. Do your job and report the truth in an objective manner.
That's crazy talk.
Is that you, Shep?
FRTV....Like!!
He is a foul mouthed snarky smug limo liberal who I can barely stand to listen to and CNN wants to put more of him on there. God. The worst.
LOL. His new show at 3 pm from his set from the Spaceship Enterprise is pretty bad ass. The News Deck. He called it the News Dick one day by accident while talking pretty quickly...love when he slips up.
Maybe they decided to copy the Comedy Channel?
No joke here, I'm talking about faux anchormen like John Stewart or Steven Colbert. Laugh if you like but some people actually get their news from "journalists" like Stewart, Colbert or even Bill Maher. Since they're entertainers, they don't have to pretend to be fair or balanced or unbiased.
“Blackfish” was terrific but I was just channel surfing and CNN had a young woman with a totally ruffled,ridiculous skirt about to do some sort of sports show.
Off went the TV.
.
I totally agree… but I would love his fun job.
No need to copy anyone. If they simply returned to simple, unbiased reporting of world, national and important local news large and small, i.e. What, who, when , where, how, with no editorializing, actively, or by omission, they could have remained #1 forever.
Bourdain’s Parts Unknown is an interesting show, if you like your history from an alcoholic, reefer-smoking, liberal whose best days are behind him,
Seriously, his episodes from Copenhagen, Albuquerque and one or two other places were good, while South Africa and Israel were pretty bad. I understand Sunday’s season finale is from Detroit and the promo talked about how circumstances there are getting better. As a Michigander, I want to see it.
That CNN is struggling with its news business just shows how far the mighty can fall. Seems right now that Fox is the only news organization that will be able to sustain a presence on TV for the foreseeable future
You are right.
