Leave it to the rednecks to help destroy the last salvation of our democracy....a free and fair press...and replace it with a propaganda network built to advance the interests of the ultra wealthy.

And then they have the nerve to call it fair and balanced.

Republican = LIAR

"While CNN struggles to make 24-hour news compelling, its competitors at Fox News and MSNBC have redefined the industry. They have eschewed traditional, straight-forward newsgathering in favor of partisan, personality driven analysis — a model that is increasingly successful in an era of hyper-partisan politics, but one that CNN has resisted even as its ratings continue their slow and steady decline."

I have watched closely CNN since the Republican primaries started, and I have found it as partisan as Fox News or MSNBC are or ever were.

what's wrong with CNN?

If you have to ask, you would not understand the answer.

Don't worry about CNN. Right wing nuts tune to Fox, left wingers to MSNBC and they get their fixes....

When something happens I still turn quickly to CNN. And if it gets to be a really big story, I

switch to one of the networks.

I'm convinced that the minds of people that watch Fox are never changed and the minds of people that watch MSNBC are never changed. Both groups sit in front of the tube drinking the red and blue colored kool-aid, thinking they've got it right.

And in the real realm of things, try to remember that re-runs of the Golden Girls dwarf them all

:) :)

.........lol.........simple.

They are a pro-Obama MSM Super Wolf Pac............100% in the tank for the Democrat Party and liberal /progressives causes because their "staff" are almost totally liberal/progressive Ideologues....

Any other view is simply propaganda................America is a Center-Right nation and we demand "center-right" dominate media outlets and come Hell and High water we are going to get there.........

CNN has an opportunity to increase their viewers.......................represent the "majority"......we don't bite.......lol.

CNN is left-wing, competing with far-left wing MSNBC. There is nothing non-partisan about CNN. Dylan is making a fool of himself for trying to make us believe that CNN isn't a liberal establishment. Roland Martin? Soledad O'Brien? John King? Wolfe Blitzer? Piers Morgan? All far lefties.

Come on, man. Don't lie to us. What next - only Sorkin can rescue CNN by being "neutral"?

Dylan has some credibility for about a week. Now he is just another liberal kool aid drinker.

When something happens I still tune quickly to CNN. If it's big, I'll go to the networks.

For the people that watch MSNBC and FNC, no minds are ever changed. Just talk to them, in person.

Duh...

And in the big scheme of things, remember that re-runs of the Golden Girls dwarf them all

CNN will be fine.........

CNN's problem is actually pretty simple but they first have to come to terms that they too are a partisan news station. You have Fox news that clearly leans right. You have MSNBC that resides on the far left fringe. CNN is also left leaning but they have convinced themselves that they are bipartisan because MSNBC is so far left that it makes CNN look like a much more moderate viewpoint.

How many CNN newscasters, journalists, correspondents, etc... classify themselves as Democrat? How many as Republican? It would come as no surprise to see that CNN as a whole is likely 75% Democrat or leans liberal. Here in lies CNN's problem. The potential viewership and appettite from the American people on liberal journalism is smaller than those who have an appetite for conservative spun news. So in essence CNN is directly competing with MSNBC. The problem is that MSNBC is not only 99.999% liberal but they are Democratic shock jocks that will say anything and I mean anything to advance their liberal agenda and ideology. So if you are a Liberal and you have to decide between Fox, CNN, and MSNBC then your first choice is always going to be MSNBC. When you get your fill of MSNBC you might switch to FOX just to see what an opposing viewpoint might be. If you are conservative you will almost assuredly watch FOX and you might switch occasionally to MSNBC to see the opposing viewpoint.

Solution: Since we already know that FOX completely dominates these cable outlets then CNN would be wise to take a more moderate conservative view point to the news rather than a moderate liberal viewpoint. The pool of potential conservative viewers is much much larger and would substantially increase their ratings. While CNN is not likely to take over FOX in ratings anytime soon they could undoubtedly knock MSNBC down to the third tier position in a matter of 12-24 months with a shift in how they are portraying the news.

Again, the problem is that CNN hasn't reached the place of acceptance and understand that the American people do not care about moderate liberal viewpoints. If you are a liberal you want to go all in with MSNBC and their shock jocks. The rest of the population basically goes to Fox (moderates, republicans, independents, etc...)

I will give CNN some credit on "attempting" to report unbiased news but tempering their liberal journalists a bit and pulling back their reins. If they want to compete they better start balancing their liberal journalists with some more moderate journalists. The best political pundint on CNN is Ari Fliecher. As a conservative he is one of the ONLY reasons why I will still tune into watch CNN on occasion. People like Donna Brazile ought to consider moving over to MSNBC where she can feel right at home on the far left liberal wing with Rachel Maddow, Ed Shultz, Lawrence O'Donnell, Chris Mathews, and lets not forget Al Sharpton.

"Several staffers at the network complain of low morale and an absence of editorial leadership".

Are you kidding me?? They can't get the job unless the hate America!
