Lots and lots and LOTS of News Alerts.
How about reporting the TRUTH for once and not just how George Bush is the reason for every ill from African poverty to the Tsunamis.
CNN wants to be a FOX clone? The dumb libs will cry. LoL!
Maybe they'll revamp CNN International, aka BBC lite. When I'm overseas it is sometimes the only news source available but it's painful to watch. If you think the CNN shown in the US has an anti US tilt you ain't seen nuthin' til you see the International version. It's so bad that the sports covers every soccer match and cricket score but doesn't even cover baseball or football. It's pathetic.
Fox scooped CNN, big time, in their hometown, on the takedown of the courthouse killer. Geraldo was there, on the spot. Whatever else you say about him, he is a great on-the-scene, breaking-action field reporter.
I'm overseas and CNN Int can make me puke.
You got that right. I watched a video feed passing through a satellite facility in the ME get spun 180 degrees by CNN Int'l. later that night. These people aren't only incompetent, they're downright criminal in their reporting.
Yeah, I know. I saw it every day when I was in Germany earlier this year. Not only was the news and lack of sports bad, they had anchors with the screechiest voices ever. Terrible.
CNN is best when watched with the TV OFF!
I recommend that CNN clone F&F weekend edition as an important first step in establishing credibility with the viewing nation. Better yet, hire the F&F weekend cast away from Fox, please.
"Is the Republican party held hostage by religious extremists? And, will voters punish President Bush for his ties to right wing churches that are considered intolerant by much of the electorate?"
Right on assessment!!!
I tell my German friends and coworkers that if all I knew about America was what I saw on CNNI I would never want to go there. With that said, I tell them about the USA that I lived in for decades. I then watch the gears turning as they realize someone (me or CNNI) is lying! I wonder who?
BTW, whenever one of them goes to America on business or vacation they come back with an entirely different viewpoint than the press (US and European) has pumped into their head of mush all their life.
Doesn't explain why Shepard Smith's show beats CNN. Shep doesn't even give 1 minute to one story.
CNN will never go "in-depth" because the risk is too high that the truth would start to show through.
AJC article attempting to save the left of CNN.
CNN could only survive if they had FIRED every single person there and just hired conservative reporters with conservatives behind the producer desks.
CNN "news" is an oxymoron.
Actually (donning flame proof coveralls) I think CNN still handles breaking news better than just about anyone.
That said, breaking news is for the most part nuts and bolts reporting and hasn't had the proper liberal spin applied yet. Once the editorialists get into the act and start the spin cycle CNN is worthless.
Amen. CNN has made a career of trashing the U.S.A. in their CNN International programming. Most Americans aren't aware of it though.
