"This is a time for ... analysis," Schonfeld declared on his website

Just for discussion let's "analyze" why CNN is crumbling. Here's a few choices to throw out:

1.) People are tired of their liberal slant on everything they say but CNN doesn't realize they are slanting it because they think everybody should think like they do.

2.) They realize that people don't like their liberal slant but they are going to keep doing it even though they are losing audience because it's what they believe in.

3.) Their hosts are BORING (think Aaron Brown) compared to Fox

4.) CNN show formats are poorly designed and hosts are badly matched with the format. Larry King does well in his format even though I think he's like watching paint dry.

Any more ideas/reasons? MSNBC is now putting on some conservative hosts to try to stop the slide. Will CNN do the same?

It is interesting to note that the networks that have hired former Clintonistas, ABC and CNN, are having trouble with the viewership. Hmmmmmm.....

Actually, surprisingly enough, considering how Lib we are up here in Canada, CNN is the butt of many jokes and not taken seriously at all. Plain and simple, it's just crap, and it assumes it's audience has the brains of a gnat.

At least for Aaron Brown they pulled back the camera and put him on in a blue set, softening his image. Before his face filled the screen giving new emphasis to the term "talking head."

I've noticed that CNN has returned to much of it's "reporting about the media and reporters" themes. Fox has become the the Laci Peterson Channel (Larry King competing here though.)

Hey, stop it. You'll give them way too much info!
On, second thought, they wouldn't know what to do with the info. The libs think that they are fair & balanced. They can't understand why no one wants to watch them. This is too much fun!
