CNN Source: 'No One Wants to Come' Work Here (for a morning laugh)

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."

“That said, Fox’s cozying up to the GOP establishment isn’t going to play well in the long run for them, either.”

More liberals watch Fox News than watch CNN and MSNBC combined. When Fox does news, it does news. No political leanings. That’s why it is the best news show out there.

When Fox does commentary, it pretty much telegraphs that it is leaning right. Even Shirley Smith, as left as he leans still balances it out. The evening commentary lineup is strong, not only because of the right leaning philosophy, but because there is no hostility or avarice towards people on the left, just the policies of the left.

People hate the groupthink and tearing down of individuals by the left. This is why they can never be successful. If you cannot put forth a truthful message that is civilized, you cannot be successful. Bottom line.
