If the Atlanta airport turned the channel CNN would lose the rest of their viewers.

What they need is a full segment on Anderson Cooper coming out of the closet. That will draw viewers!

Wait...

CNN dug its own grave. What concerns me now is this: “The Rachel Maddow Show averaged 933,000 total viewers that week.”

CNN may have some supercilious liberals but they generally avoid devoting entire hours to the mentally ill.

I've thought the same thing. I was in a waiting room not to long ago when I asked about changing the channel from CNN to Fox. The assistant looked puzzled.

I told her, "Please either change it to Fox News or to the Cartoon Network. Spongebob Squarepants is more informative than CNN."

I think the airport has a deal with cnn. A hometown thing I guess. The only tv’s in the whole airport that aren’t on cnn are the ones in sports bars.

Their low ratings are intentional. Nobody could be that dumb. They could turn things around by tossing the liberals overboard. But since they don’t, it’s obviously intentional.

If they want to start getting viewership back again, they need to adopt the Fox News model. Get rid of the fugly lefties and hire some hot chicks to present conservative news. But apparently they ain’t in this for viewers/profits. They’re in this for the lefty crusades.

When your prime time hosts suck both literally and figuratively, your ratings do so as well.

They will go harder left than before and that will be the final nail in the coffin for CNN. May it rot in hell.

CNN just needs to add another effeminate, homosexual to their line up. Paging Shep Smith.

They could do a gay rendition of The View.

Tend to turn the TV off or watch something else at 9pm. Neither Mr Talking Points(Hannity)or Mr. Pointy Head(Madcow) are worth watching.

PBS has had an interesting WWII documentary running this week...Ted Baxter and the FoxNews cupcakes(along with the safari of RINO's)are getting stale...CNN's Erin Burnett(Miss CFR)is nice to look at(...that's about it)...BSNBC is just an insane clown posse for the deaf, blind and just plain stupid...watching paint dry is more intellectually stimulating.

We are not satisfied with CNN’s ratings performance and we are focused on fixing it.

e-Bay?.
