Liquidate it.
If CNN became another conservative voice on cable, their ratings would double. But I don’t look for that to happen. To liberals, ideology trumps profit.
Down the middle ? Of what? Das Kapital?
Instead of just kicking them while their down, I’m going to try to offer some useful solutions.
I think that if they were really serious about changing their tune they should let the public express their opinions on what they want to see. Of course I don’t think they will but they got to know what they have isn’t working.
I believe they can find a niche if they bring back the debates that made their commentary so engaging in the first place. What would also help is if they form an internal ‘bias commission’ who would publicly respond to viewer feedback and that would review their reports for bias (in fact something like that would help every major news agency).
CNN’s main problem is trust, I don’t trust what they say and neither do most people. The MSM is constantly harrying the government for not being transparent, well the people expect their media to be also.
Fix meaning surgically neuter, like a misbehaving dog? Right? Well, they might resist, but they'll get used to it.
They could try going on Jeopardy and win... Oh, wait, they already tried that and showed their incompetence at coming up with the right questions there too.
Find someone to run the place that understands that “down the middle” doesn’t mean tilted like the tower of Pisa.
Uhhh??? Report?
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.
close it
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
No. Let it crash and burn.
