"Should I be paid more than Anderson Cooper?"

CNN’s competitors, Fox News and MSNBC, defeated CNN handily in the ratings war this week. Fox News took the number one slot for primetime viewership at 2.18 million viewers, and MSNBC came in second with 1.75 million viewers.
CNN finished in a distant seventh place, attracting 992,000 average viewers and falling behind HGTV, USA, the History Channel, and TBS in the weekly ratings.
The primetime lineup for the History Channel includes the show Ancient Aliens, a show which delves into the conspiracy theories behind aliens, while CNN’s lineup features hosts Anderson Cooper and Chris Cuomo. The History Channel had 1.06 million viewers in primetime this week.
The network did not fare much better in the ratings for its daytime programming. CNN finished in sixth place, lagging behind Fox News, HGTV, Nickelodeon, MSNBC, and Investigation Discovery.

Ancient Aliens contains more factual information.
But MSNBC at second is not good. They are as prolific at spewing Trump-hate as CNN. You’d think that nothing else happened in the world other than President Trump’s assault on the media in response to their distortions, half-truths and outright lies about him.
I cannot defend everything on Ancient Aliens as factual or scientifically provable or even non-silly.
Not all of it is Chariots of the Gods content although the honored precursor of the show is Von Daniken and he is featured often. By the way,he is lovable and all that but was involved at least twice in felony money schemes involving fraudulent credit account transfers years ago.
To extend the series they went far beyond that stuff and are often straining to make connections such as how many oval or circular objects mean The Cosmic Egg is being portrayed. Their egg theory may be cracked (sorry).
I don’t believe their full detailed theories any more than I believe Bill,Hillary,Chelsea,Obama,Comey and Mueller are innocent and deserve to get off while conservatives go to prison.
Is this the unconfirmed story from CNN and MSNBC about when Trump peed on an ancient illegal alien’s bed? That old Mexican lady was PISSED (no pun intended). No wonder ratings are low.
Easy to sum up CNN’s problem: The weird hair guy on the right is more credible than the poofter on the left.
sharp designs on early rock....
That’s why these people are the CNN of research-—they have a set bias and will not accept news ideas. Then they have to force square pegs into round holes and tell us chicken bones carved the designs in stone. And guys with ropes tried really hard and lifted hundreds of 3 ton rectangular stone sections 600 feet up and set them down so that no masonry was needed and they today fit better and last longer than 10 year old buildings in our cities today.
SOOOO much more plausible than CNN.
Well, she's ancient...
CNN, like Ancient Aliens, isn’t supposed to be believed, it’s meant to be consumed.
The problem is consuming CNN will put hair on your tongue, burn your esophagus, make you vomit, and give you Crohn’s disease.
And with Anderson Cooper, I don’t even want to think about what it does to your anus.
CNN sucks
"Should I be paid more than Anderson Cooper?"
Ancient Aliens is more Earthling than CNN.
You are devastatingly funny and naughty, fruser1.
And Ancient Aliens is really Fallen Angels so it is bull shit too.
That’s pretty dam low, as is so clear if you’ve ever watched the Ancient Aliens show!!!! It is shows like that for which I have knicknamed the History Channel the Wild Speculation Channel.
In balance, the History Channel does show American Pickers which in spite of its theme actually covers a lot of American history as seen in all the things Americans have produced.
I was actually amazed a few years ago when I was visiting, and saw (NOTE - I don’t get cable) the ‘HISTORY CHANNEL’ have some gin’d up crap about Alien Autopsy and the like.
I thought : Have they played the REAL history stuff so much that they have worn out the tapes of that REAL HISTORY stuff and only have crap like this — or have they resorted to such dreck for ratings ???
Sad.
You forgot to mention waiting rooms in hospitals and clinics.
Wish they would stop that. It sucks enough to be there to begin with.
Even the ancient aliens show knows you can only stretch the truth so far before losing all credibility.
“It was ALIENS! I SEEN ‘em!”
So, I could just sit around all day suggesting and agreeing to all sorts of ridiculous things and get paid.
Well, yeah. You wouldn’t even have to do any research. Just make stuff up, and call yourself an expert, like they do. “PUGACHEV, Renowned Ufologist”
