24994J 5276 Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Of course. Cancel the most/only informative, substantive hour of news on CNN. Yup. Makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skbl17 188 Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 If anyone doubted that CNN wasn't serious about actual news, this serves as a nail in the coffin of doubt. Thank goodness for the internet and international news sources. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmkcool2002 7 Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Not gonna lie. I watch CNN most of the day but I usually avoid 12pm hour. The hosts were boring. I'm hoping Berman/Pereria find chemistry and eventually get moved up to the top spots on "New Day" replacing Chris and Kate. Chris could get his own daytime hour to anchor while Kate would go back into reporting on politics/co-hosting with Wolf (who I think she had much better chemistry with).

Big Country News 435 Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Jeff Zucker does it again... Roger Ailes may have been right with "MSNBC and CNN are out of the news business." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmkcool2002 7 Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Roger Ailes may have been right with "MSNBC and CNN are out of the news business." Political talk shows in primetime don't count as being in the news business to me and are just as much of a news product as CNN and the future documentary serieses it'll be doing. "Blackfish" was news because it exposed a scandal that I'm sure the common American wasn't aware of before watching. I wouldn't mind if CNN became the documentary channel and aired a bunch of miniseries/documentaries that went behind the scenes and exposed different sects of industry because I think that's still news. It's the perfect way to find a niche. The only nets which actually provide news at night are AJAM and the BBC and that's because neither has much pressure to broadcast star-studded, highly controversial commentaries.

PelicanGuy 117 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 "Around The World" canceled, eh? That was the only time I'd watch CNN for international news. I'll be sticking with al Jazeera from here on out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
