HLN still has some dignity left...and often beats the mother ship in ratings in many dayparts. HLN is the "escape pod" of CNN.

Dignity where? Endless repeats of forensic files?

I guess TNT is the only thing separating the left from the right.

Does that mean TNT is "center"?

And yet Zucker hasn't exactly made things better over at that network.

[Breaking News 836]

According to FTVLIVE.com Jeffrey Adam Zucker took several CNN on-air talent to breakfast to bitch about the ratings.  The pushback was maybe the audience is tired of hearing about Trump.

The only relation is in the name...that Fox Theatre was one of the original 5 opened by William Fox himself way back in the day. Same William Fox that led Fox Film, which merged with Zanuck's company in '35, got bought by the Murdochs in the '80s, and got split and swallowed by Mickey in March.

Ahhh... Project Veritas... they of editing videos together out of context and calling it legitimate journalism? James O'Keefe is a con artist political activist with an axe to grind... If you are gonna quote things... use some actual sources and not some guy with a website and a desire to see an agenda fulfilled... thanks.

So there's a video of someone sharing their opinion of Jeff Zucker?

 

Wow, what a bombshell. An employee has unfavorable interpretation of his boss' views. ::yawn::

More Jeff Zucker News:  You can't have it your way slezzeball.  There are multiple reports that Jeff Zucker was trying to wheel in Stephanie Ruhle out of MSNBC- Rock Center to Hudson Yards.  Last checked: Stephanie is still with MSNBC and made the right choice to NOT head over to CNN.

Brianna Keiler is anchoring "CNN Special Coverage" exclusively on HLN as they carry coverage of the impeachment inquiry and the Presidents news conference, HLN will also re-air the entire impeachment hearings tonight staring at 7pm Eastern. Seems like a good way to show off Brianna and all she can do. 

[hfiles 81]

I wish HLN would do more non-political news as a contrast to CNN. Or that CNN would stop being so fixated on 24/7 Trump coverage.

HLN had a good thing going for it, (think where they were just 18 months ago) Carol and Michaela still had shows and they were fresh and added energy to the network, it worked until CNN decided it wasn't good enough. I know they recently gave Lynn and Mike new shows but the pivot they've taken towards crime news has really turned people away, Lynn and Mike will only last a year or 2 and they'll decided to "pivot" again. HLN needs a new owner and a new brand focused on what made them relevant in the first place, headlines and real, non-political news. I think a real Headline News channel still has a place in this country and people would watch given the choice. 

[Eat News 4745]

Anatomy of a death spiral, of the once proud CNN...

Just plain sad to see the network destroyed.

MSNBC & Fox included! They aren't prizes either, but apparently obsessive and endless Trump coverage works in their favor compared to CNN. IMO It would be interesting to see a hard international focus on CNN compared to the America focused coverage on most US news media.

For many years, I've been a fan of CNN. The past few years, not so much. Anderson Cooper, Jake Tapper, Erin Burnett, Chris Cuomo, and Wolf Blitzer are all good anchors, but I think that Jeff Zucker has ruined he channel. The politics as sport strategy has not been working for them, and I think that's why MSNBC is beating them fairly good in the ratings. I think that by putting in a new executive and abandoning the talking head panels, they could probably be competitive again with FOX and MSNBC. When Soledad O'Brien criticizes you frequently, you can tell something's very wrong with how your channel is run. MSNBC is a much better network for news than CNN. CNN shouldn't be this unwatchable. 

[MorningNews 1483]

In terms of strictly news coverage, Fox News in my opinion has for several years had a much more solid offering than CNN. Bret Baier, Bill Hemmer and Shep Smith are among some of the best broadcast journalists anywhere.
