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.

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.

"We do a better job of identifying what the most important stories are and throwing more resources at them," he says, citing Terri Schiavo and the Atlanta courthouse shootings as examples.

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.

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.

Why CNN is losing to FOX News.........

"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?"

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.

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.

"We're winning the quality war already, not the ratings war,"

You'll get nowhere in the ratings war until you lose the bias.

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.

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.
