Maybe Candy Crowley can get a position under the big tent. Or as a big tent.
“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.
.
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
They’ve had too much success with their news channel. Their propaganda helped get Obama elected twice and now that he’s implementing his healthcare plan it’s destroying everyone in it’s path even them. Their job is done.
So will every airport in the world now change channels?
They’re hanging their hopes on Anthony Bourdain?
His travel show only worked because it shows him getting drunk or eating weird crap in all corners of the globe.
Nobody actually gives a crap what he thinks. He’s just another Noo Yawkah smart-ass jerk. There’s no deficit of those on TV, ever.
So much for propaganda as a growth industry. The last time I watched CNN was election night in 2004 to watch Wolf Blitzer continue to predict W’s loss after every other network had called it for him. He was like Ahab on the back of the white whale.
If you can’t beat ‘em, go play a different game, eh CNN?
Ministry of Love finds no one listening to propaganda Communist News Network.
I cannot remember the last time I watched it. 9/11 maybe.
They could put on the ‘Flying Toasters’ screen saver 24/7.
Verbage is not needed here. CNN is on life support and will not recover!!! “Crossfire” is the biggest joke yet. Van Jones.....moron!!! Hey.....CNN....no one is watching your daily farce. For a fair and nominal fee....I will gladly take over and have your rated “top of the heap” in twelve months!!!
If CNN started reporting the news honestly and stop being just another arm of the DNC, they would rapidly sweep the ratings and become #1. FAUX has pretty much abandoned the field because of their corporate masters so the news field is nearly wide open again.
Since CNN is part of Time Warner they should produce and air popular TV Shows that TNT canceled due to ratings that were 'this close' but just didn't make it against competition (or goofy management decisions), but on CNN they would get triple or quadruple whatever ratings their best *news* program had.So there ya go Time Warner, a money maker for CNN.The first one to be reborn into production could be 'Monday Mornings'. That show rocked, had a loyal following, and its cancellation was a shock. But drop that pc BS from scripts, that last episode was right from the DEA and Obama.
But an an even better example of a show that should live on is... Southland! Somebody was smoking crack while shooting up heroin laced with LSD when they canceled that.
Or.. to test the waters show re-runs of the shows. Southland disappeared into never never land (WTF over?) And Monday Mornings..it's like it never existed.
Willing to do anything except recognize the truth, it seems.
Is that the one that went through the trap door?
It wasn’t that news was a bad or weak idea-—the bad idea was being selective, partisan, whiny, one-sided, non-educational, axe grinders and ignoring most of the ACTUAL NEWS. Reporting events and sniveling about it was never a winning idea.
I wouldn’t mind a like minded station, like BlazeTV but with more mainstream talent and deeper pockets. This sounds like the direction CNN is going but more left leaning cultural rot.
It sounds as thought CNN is trying to bring YouTube to cable TV. Didn’t Al Gore already try this?
CNN: will give news for food.
