He retains a significant title as chief domestic correspondent, and is given a show to anchor. He was a WH correspondent for eight years and Chief for three. It's not a job people hold (or want) forever, especially as they get older. It involves long hours and lots of travel. Now, he gets to do a lot of his work while sitting behind a desk.

Roadrunner 216 Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 Going back to the Zucker exit conversation for a moment, I think it goes without saying that his influence isn't going anywhere any time soon when it comes to the top. "Zucker lieutenant is a top candidate to replace him at CNN’s helm" (Dylan Byers, NBC News) Quote Allison Gollust, a CNN executive and top lieutenant to Jeff Zucker, has emerged as the leading internal candidate to take over the network if Zucker steps down as president, two people at CNN familiar with the matter say.

Roadrunner 216 Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 This isn't really a lineup-related thing (well...it could be someday), but I thought this was a pretty significant grab for CNN: She had a very prominent role with CBS so I did not expect this (I'm also just OOTL about her relationship with CBS these past few months). Weijia and Ed have a larger role at the WH today and there's less upward room at CBS so I guess this was the best fit for her. 2 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16640-cnn-the-continuing-soap-opera/page/8/#findComment-258335 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roadrunner 216 Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 Another White House reporter (who also had a tumultuous relationship with the previous administration) reportedly heads to CNN as a correspondent, according to Deadline and The Hill: Kristin Fisher, who finished her last live shot on Fox News last Friday. Whatever we think of CNN, it's incredible that their budget continues to allow them to poach talent, especially during these times.

MediaZone4K 2165 Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 According to a Fox News article (obviously CNN isn’t their favorite) New Day ratings are struggling to hit 500K viewers. Yahoo & the Wrap confirm this as well. Yahoo reports that Morning Joe pulls averages 903K, Fox & Friends 1.1M. Both Fox & Yahoo are blaming the anchor shuffling at New Day, especially after Brianna Keiler began anchoring. Personally, New Day and CNN in general are too politically charged. Morning Joe isn’t much better, it’s single subject focus on Trump and the right are obsessive and repetitive. Fox & Friends, not my favorite either, of course has theirs specific audience. https://www.google.com/amp/s/news.yahoo.com/amphtml/cnns-day-hits-7-ratings-175702525.html 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16640-cnn-the-continuing-soap-opera/page/8/#findComment-262942 Share on other sites More sharing options...

He needs to go, along with Jeff Zucker and Brian Stelter - who really stuck his neck out for Chris, especially with the whole "many people here understand why he (Chris) did what he did, plus his office is several floors above the newsroom...".as if location of someones office would prevent them from controlling/interfering with coverage. And who could forget "if we open up the journalism ethics book, there's no rule for this" (referring to Chris not covering Andrews accusations). Can't wait to hear what Zucker's fiction writers come up with for Brian to say Sunday and somehow defend all of this making Chris look good. I hope Jake Tapper takes over the time slot, if not him maybe an external hire would be best. Clearly CNN needs new leadership and some cleaning.
