CNN boss Jeff Zucker wants to revamp the struggling network, but nobody reportedly wants to work there.
A CNN source told the New York Post that the unstable network is having problems recruiting key talent to a place that was once known as "the most trusted name in news."
"We can’t find talent who wants to come to CNN. No one wants to come because we scrap things after a year," the source told the Post. "Every talent agency we contact can’t get us anyone... Even talent from larger local markets refuse to come here, because they are afraid.”
Daytime anchors Brooke Baldwin and Carol Costello will reportedly be moving from Atlanta to New York to be closer to Zucker while Don Lemon is angling for a primetime show, even though nearly every in-house talent the network has tried to force upon its primetime viewers has tanked.
CNN's ratings have plummeted the more the network tries to conceal its liberal biases and masquerades as an "objective" station. That may even be changing, as Zucker recently admitted that even though the network's own viewers are not interested in CNN's climate change stories, he will try to find more creative ways to force them to care.
"Climate change is one of those stories that deserves more attention, that we all talk about, but we haven't figured out how to engage the audience in that story in a meaningful way," Zucker recently said at an awards dinner in New York. "When we do do those stories, there does tend to be a tremendous amount of lack of interest on the audience's part."

Whoever made the decision to cover the missing Malaysia airliner story for a solid month should have been fired long ago. That was just stupid.
Couldn't have said it any better myself../NOT!!!
That's what happens when you promote a guy out of the mailroom to run a network...
CNN is a living example of the definition of insanity. Put on the same liberal crap over and over again and expect different results. No wonder no one wants to work there.
That is what CNN calls itself.

I think I may have discovered a big part of the problem.
Its the commie news network.Go figure.
They are seeking “talent?” Or are they seeking a transvestite or a lesbian porn queen or a bisexual father of five who can read from a TelePrompTer? Sorry. Those creatures all work for the White House these days. Maybe in two years, they will be available.
LOL - No, that's NOT it. It's the endless dem butt kissing and total lack of integrity...
LoL. That has to be the kiss of death. Titanic Deck Chair Shuffler. The Costello bimbo is especially stupid, she stands out in a crowd of idiots.
The most _rusted name in news..
Jeff Zucker, why not try something really really unique. That is to try to get some conservatives/ libertarians to be hosts. You might get some viewers.
What decent person would want to work for a propaganda network?
bummer.
The 4th estate is a 5th column.
You only have to watch CNN for a short while to see they are not a news organization. They are a bought and paid for propaganda arm of the DNC.
Being a liberal station is a FABULOUS way to be successful.
VIRTUALLY ALL OF THE MEDIA FOR THE LAST 50 YEARS AT LEAST HAVE BEEN 100% LIBERAL 100% OF THE TIME. IT IS A FABULOUS BUSINESS MODEL, THAT BANKS ON THE UNIMAGINABLE IGNORANCE OF THE FILTHY, PIG-DOG AVERAGE AMERICAN. CNN just can’t make it work, but just about everybody else does.
I’m still unclear how one amasses a tremendous amount of lack of anything.
CNN -making mountains out of depressions in the ground...
Ouch !
The fifth paragraph proves he doesn’t care enough yet
Whatever could be the problem?
