Since the end of the Iraq war, CNN has seen a disastrous plunge in its ratings from where they were prior to the war, CNN cofounder Reese Schonfeld observed on his website Friday. Without citing sources, Schonfeld disclosed that from January 1 to February 15, CNN/Headline News combined averaged a 43.5-percent marketshare. Last week, he said, the combined total of the two news channels is 37.3 percent. On the other hand, he noted, Fox News now commands 51 percent of the share points, up 42 percent over its pre-war numbers. "This is a time for ... analysis," Schonfeld declared on his website, . "This is unprecedented and calls for immediate action."

She's the fox-deluxe on FOX. Jennifer Eckelston. I swear she was flirting with me.

Dear CNN--As a start on your new image, fire Judy Woodard, and post (Not)Wanted Posters for Bob Schieffer and 90 percent of your news staff. Blitz Woof-woof! After that, get on with a plan for revamping in earnest.

CNN must really be desperate: last night, they had on Chistianne Imanolwhore, all tarted up. First, it was Judy Woodruff, now Christianne.

It's Jennifer Eccleston. Get the name right so you can find her web-site on Google (www.jennifer-eccleston.com, I think). I'm a married man and I want her to have my children. Is that so wrong?
Just kidding.
If CNN wanted to improve their ratings, they would ban those two fornicating psychopaths, Paul Begoebels and James CarVile forever.

Stayin' alive, stayin' alive' Why does the karaoke dance party at the end of Shrek come to mind immediately here? You know, where you see the dragon holding a microphone to her midsection and then the scene cuts to the evil Lord Farquar in the dragon's belly, holding a candle and singing "Stayin' alive, stayin' alive"?

CNN suffers from Pre-War, War, and Post-War Trauma.
To: Only1choice____Freedom
They also suffer from:
No President Gore Trauma
No President Clinton Trauma
President Bush Trauma
To: Grampa Dave; IvanT
My expectation is CNN will announce that they've lost viewership to
BBC and now must become more anti-American and liberal in order to compete on the international market to lure liberals from Canada, Britain, etc.
To: Paul Atreides
It is interesting to note that the networks that have hired former Clintonistas, ABC and CNN, are having trouble with the viewership. Hmmmmmm.....When they first hired the Clintonistas I thought it was a bad idea. I can't stand to watch them spin for their former masters. Maybe I should go into hiring for the networks if my law gig doesn't pan out.

I'm taking a break from the slut/whore/stripper thread long enough to say: I love David Asman.

(Humor is lost on the common people.)
To: Grampa Dave
Watch them become even more left wing, anti gun, anti GW, and anti the good things America represents while becoming more strident and shrieking. Then, as their market shares continue to drop, they will repeat their losing mantras, templates and strident shrieking.
In other words, return to their base.
This is suicidal, and if you substitute
'votes' for 'market shares,' you see the
DNC has the same problem and attempted
solution. I am beginning to believe there
will be room for another political party to
form to the right of the dems, as they
become Labor.

I saved this from a leftie web site during the first week of the war as proof of how wrong they were. And this was the kind of BS that CNN was "ballancing" it's coverage with. Notice how the worst picture they could cme up with was a U.S. soldger PUTTING ON HIS HELMET!
Thank you so much for saving and (re)posting that!
