FoxFan 1 Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 FOX is unbeatable, and will be I guess for a long, long time.

TennTV1983 804 Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Meh. Didn't find CNN worth watching in primetime to begin with. I'll take Rick Sanchez over anyone else at that network.

tigermichal 0 Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 They need to promote Don Lemon... that's the only reason I watch CNN. also give Soledad her own daily show instead of just the ...In America series.

jero23 105 Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 I will say this CNN needs to revamp its entire line-up. It's time to stop having the "CNN Newsroom" one-anchor format and go back to the 2 anchor format. Don Lemon, Rick Sanchez, and Kyra Phillips need their own individual shows instead of the CNN Newsroom. The Situation Room needs to just be on from 2 hours. They could fill the line-up with shows other than the CNN Newsroom, but I think at the moment they are lacking some serious ideas. I think Anderson Cooper a good reporter, but I don't know about him hosting an hour show at 9/10pm then a repeat. It wouldn't hurt for them just combine Anderson and Campbell show with together on the same show during the prime time. Soledad should have her own regular show as well since she is a very good journalist.

PelicanGuy 117 Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 I have to agree with all of you. Rick Sanchez is the man, while Don Lemon and Soledad are severely under-utilized. Everyone and everything else is just boring...even Anderson. Lou Dobbs...geesh! I used to love this guy. Now I can't stand his behind.

NewsJunkie247 1 Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 I agree that CNN should go back to the two anchor format during the day. Having Heidi Collins, Krya Phillips, Tony Harris, and Rick Sanchez anchor solo is just not working. They also need to update their look at the CNN center by adding more plasma screens and tweaking some minor things. I've noticed that cameras at the CNN center are now in 16:9, but I don't think they are HD. Once they update to HD, I think things will look better.

jero23 105 Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 ...oh...and Jack Cafferty is good too. But the rest are just smarmy, especially Wolf Blitzer and John Roberts. The fake balance exhibited by CNN is particularly annoying as well..... I love Jack Cafferty. He always cracks me up with his realistic commentary yet he offers an objective journalist delivery. Somebody does need to tell Wolf Blitzer to sit down for sure. I don't even know what to say about "American Morning" because John Roberts and Kiran Chetry's chemistry is awkward at best.

johnnya2k6 171 Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 I don't give a you-know-what if CNN fell to last place behind Fixed News and the others; they're fine where they are. They're called Cable NEWS Network for a reason while Fox Noise is nothing but opinion and eye candy!

jero23 105 Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 is fake balance and "centrism" really true balance, though? Is a bias towards centrist politicians not a bias? Have you seen their "Wingnut of the Week" segment? It's like the "false equivalency minute".... That is very true. They seem to aim and criticize the moderate/centrist politicos for all their worth. I does bother me quite a bit.
