Struggling CNN Turns to Game Shows
Breitbart News Network ^ | 21 Jan 2015 | John Nolte

Posted on 01/22/2015 6:25:53 PM PST by george76

With its ratings at an all-time low and its journalistic ethics almost constantly under fire, left-wing CNN is once again conceding it can no longer compete as a serious news organization with the revelation Wednesday that the production of a game show is under way.

Rumors surfaced in December that CNN chief Jeff Zucker might go this way. TV Newser confirmed the humiliating news today.

...

2014 might have been the worst year for CNN of any news outlet in recent memory. We’re only 21 days into the new year, but 2015 is already shaping up to be worse.

The incredible and most selacious thing about CNN is, everybody but them knows how to fix it. The guy in charge needs to remake their news approach. He could immediately turn the station around by making the following statement and running commercials:

“We at CNN are making a change. We studied the model of early journalism that was practiced during the founding of this nation. We have come a long way from being government watchdogs to finally acknowledging we are government lapdogs. From this day forward, we are going to study, understand and defend the rights of the people in accordance with the constitution. We are going to return to reporting to the citizens of this great nation the infidelities, corruption and scandals that are ripe in our nations government. We are going to inform the people. We are going to help the voting citizenry be informed on what is and what is not in line with the founding of this nation. We vow to be more conservative. We want to be the news station for conservatives and Tea Party supporters alike.”

Woa Nelly! I’d have to watch just to see what happens.

We shouldn’t laugh. The way we’re headed, presidents won’t be elected, they’ll get the title by being the best singer, or running around an island buck-naked.

Everyone knows CNN is nothing but a mouth piece for 1 political side.

CNN is not interested in truth. They are only interested in the Leftist agenda. Which is why their ratings are in the tank.

CNN already knows this but their cult like suicide pack with the leftist, instead of being real journalist, has cost him money and their reputation.

Nothing new under the sun. MSNBC has been showing “The Joker’s Wild” for a few years in prime time.
