CNN's problem is respect. They constantly insult, marginalize, and distort the views of conservatives. Then they claim they are down the middle just because they are not as far over the edge as MSNBC.

They lost the respect of the viewers because they don't show any respect when it comes to reporting both sides.

Are they brothers? They look so much alike!

Crossfire and Inside Politics were they only shows I ever watched on CNN and they are both gone.

Only thing I ever watched was Crossfire on a rare occasion...CNN could disappear and I wouldn't notice it for weeks.

Jon Klein, the network president, has consistently defended the network’s down-the-middle news strategy

Like Susan Roesgen?

How to fix CNN

Ya can't.  Best to tear it down & start over again.

I know how CNN could soar in ratings — Tell the whole story, top to bottom, inside and out, and don’t spin it one way or the other. IOW, BE JOURNALISTS!

But CNN is the network of Campbell “The science is settled” Brown, daughter of a crim-o-crat icon ... and they wonder why less and less people buy into their BS.

Don’t.

If it can’t manage in the free market, let it tank.

Of course that would be right down the middle of the leftmost lane.

Fix it??

Let Rush buy it and run it like a good news channel.

Crossfire was great with Buchanan, before he went psycho, Tom Braden, while he was psycho, Kinsley, Sununu, and a daily electronic food fight that was smart, vicious and hilarious all at the same time. Quite entertaining.

CNN is splitting up the pie of America-hating socialist goofballs with MSNBC, CBS, NBC, ABC, etc. Meanwhile, Fox News has normal Americans all to itself. It’s not fair. President Ubanga should do something about this

[Clock King]

No. Let it crash and burn.

[AlanD]

There is only one way to fix CNN. Fire Jon Klein.

[AlanD]

Tom Braden and Bob Novack were always hating on each other . .

You can’t polish a turd

[LachlanMinnesota]

The thoughtpolice will come and correct any errors to Newspeak, followed by a two-minute hate that ends with Big Brother giving us all calming, if vague, reassurances.

That will bring ratings up to 100% of those people whose whereabouts are still known...
