Maybe they could start playing music videos and replace MTV as they never play videos anymore.

Hell, I might even watch it for a few minutes.

CNN was a News Channel, Who would have guess that?

Maybe it should read “Pravda going out of business”...

“cautioned investors that as a result of the investments, CNN may not see income growth for years. “

Maybe they could try to report the news without leftist bias and even hire a conservative talking head or two??

Nah, they don’t care that much.

I we ever get a la carte cable/sat, they’ll be among the first to disappear, along with sister net HLN.

I remember when CNN was still an upstart in the Reagan/Bush era. We kept it on at HQ because something breaking in the world affected us. It beat the others hands down until it went to the left. Then it became same old, same old.

Fox News is now going that same direction.

I remember when you couldn’t even get a cable service to carry FoxNews.

Take that CNN!

They could bounce back if they went further right than “course-corrected” Faux News. But their current leadership will prefer ideology over journalism . . .

unscripted shows by outside producers in the vein of “Anthony Bourdain’s Parts Unknown”

Of course they would choose a ultra liberal like this. He always made it a point to slip in some smart-alecky comment about Bush or republicans. He will never attract a large audience.

Think of the value of the brand name CNN. Dumping news instead of reporting from the middle. It’s like Microsoft giving up operating systems to concentrate on ebooks and mp3’s.

Can't they find a third-world dictator they can pay for exclusive access to favorable news?

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.

Here’s a novel idea. Do your job and report the truth in an objective manner.
