Daily News ^ | 2/27/14 | MARIANNE GARVEY

CNN honchos have been busy putting together a list of potential Piers Morgan replacements to host a nightly chat show much like his failed one, and Confidenti@l has learned which names are being tossed around.

“Rosie O’Donnell is at the top; the rest are Joy Behar, Ann Curry, Anthony Bourdain, David Muir, Star Jones, Anderson Cooper and Rachel Maddow,” one person with knowledge of the list tells us. “Most of the people that are being considered are ones that either create news, are going to make news or have rated really high on television in the past.”

“Rosie O’Donnell”

It was a long time since I saw that waste of 200lbs of blubber but she was on some show recently during which I said to my wife, I thought she had sunk south beach by now (in Miami) as I had not had benefit of her dribble in some time. She suggested she must be promoing for something.

Well perhaps it was for CNN. So I guess they go from one waste of air to another.

If they simply went head-to-head with Fox, there would be a real struggle for market.

You're kidding, right? CNN can't win going 'heat to head with MSNBC... Advertisers need to track their sales - I'll bet they're getting ZIP from ad dollars spent at CNN.

Rosie O’Donuts? She’s so hate-filled and mean you would literally have riots at airport terminals.

Rosie O’Donnell ?

Obnoxious and brainless. There is no way that any person anywhere would expect her to have a successful show. Clearly she is being chosen so that they can blame the anticipated bad ratings on her sexual orientation.

This is strawman programming.

I’m only saying, the media is (heavily) biased to the left.

Heavily.

CNN is suffering from also being biased to the left.

If CNN dropped its editorial bias and went for the right instead, Fox would have to fight for market share and we would see even better coverage.

CNN however chooses to struggle even longer, over the shrinking left-side of the market.

Nobody will win struggling over the shrinking left side of the market.

CNN wake up.

Compete with Fox, by being more like Fox.

Editorially.

Content-wise.

Americans really, really want news. We are not getting it.

Stop making the problem bigger.

I know, CNN’s bias is too deeply ingrained to change, but there you have my point.

I used to watch CNN.

Now every couple of months when Fox has a dry spell, I spin by CNN once again and give them another try. I’m sure a lot of people do this.

Every single time that happens, I am almost immediately clobbered by their massive leftist bias.

I’m series.

CNN is terrible biased. It is terrible.

If they wanted a lift in their ratings all they have to do is go to their Own shipping dock and hire the next UPS/USPS/FedEx driver that shows up. I’m sure (s)he would out perform anyone on that list.

Ann Curry, Anthony Bourdain, David Muir

Who? Yes, I know who they are, but - who?

How about they just leave NYC and try reporting controlled by the real world?

Al Sharpton?

Obnoxious and brainless. There is no way that any person anywhere would expect him to have a successful show. Clearly he was chosen so they can blame the anticipated bad ratings on his race.

I would tune in to watch Keith Olbermann’s head explode anytime the Left was having a bad day.

IF CNN, I doubt they that want to improve viewership so they want do this, want to challenge Fox they should hire Allen West.
Smart, knowledgeable, can present the facts in many areas, not afraid to debate, ex military, ex representative, strong male definitely not a Morgan and conservative.
A man not an apologizing victim.
Do you want to win or lose CNN?
