Maybe they'll think a "Fair and Balanced" approach is appropriate. What a stunning development THAT would be.
As long as they're going "in-depth" with Liberal Bores like Jeff Greenfield, Aaaron Brown, and Paula Zahn they will continue to trail FOX by a wide margin.
You'll get nowhere in the ratings war until you lose the bias.
CHANGES @ CNN...its' highly unlikely, as long as they adhere to their Liberal Mantras..
CNN can get some big time ratings if they will do an in-depth story each day about the crimes of the Clintons. Even though I don't watch TV and don't have cable, I'd re-install it and watch that sucker. Let's see a couple hours on Juanita Broaddrick, CNN. Start telling the truth and you will have a product people might buy.
..It (may) never happen, b/c it would show/lay bare the entire "mindset" of the Political/Media class in the U.S. on what the Liberals really think of "the Best Jim Wright voice: (Your Stupid/Dumb/Lazy..We're here to help you) American Middle Class", it'll cost them alot of votes/political offices..and w/ the Nat. Election in '06/'08, $hrillary won't approve of It.
Here's a simple way for CNN to beat Fox ...
become the 'celebrity scandal-and-crime-trial-free news channel'
I'm sick and tired of the wasted bandwidth over Jacko's trial , then previously the scott peterson case ... as if this was some sort of national issue.
Fox canget too tabloid at times, and CNN is hopeless only because they cant see through their own liberal bias.
I think the "ratings war" between Fox and CNN will continue to reflect the voting pattern of the American public. Normal, working, taxpaying, traditional American families (Republicans) will continue to prefer Fox while the rest of the people will continue to prefer CNN.
They think this is why Fox News is number one in the ratings?
Please....
All this means is that they will say the same old liberal shiite except slower and louder because they think that will appeal to the Fox audience "hillbillies" they hate and look down on but still covet.
Jon (from See BS) or Joe (of Time Magazie) Klein ..is there a difference?
It is a statistical assurity that at any time, any day of the week, somewhere, in some newspaper across the country, magazine, or journal, there will be an article describing the new "changes" being made at CNN that will asuredly win them the ratings war over time.
I wonder, after several years of this, if they beginning to get the least bit bored of it.
Yes this is what they hope the problem is, but we all know that is not the case. CNN ratings will continue to tank because they rather lose their business then be fair and balanced.
I'm sure glad he told me that. Before he said that, I thought all of the CNN reporters were clowns.
