CNN getting better?

    CNN has a new programming director, and he's making a lot of changes to make the network more interesting. I find myself watching it more, and MSNBC less, because CNN is covering a much wider variety of topics, and covering them better than they used to. Fox is down quite a bit in popularity since their peak before the last election, and I find MSNBC's hyperfocus on politics to be a little boring in a non-election year. That creates an opportunity for CNN to grow their market share.

    For decades, it seems like CNN has been struggling to overcome its heritage as the pathetic little low budget news channel that Ted Turner started on the top floor of the Omni shopping mall. Could this be the year that they finally leave that past behind?

    Al Jazeera seems to be the only news channel that even regards viewers as non-retarded adults.

    The Clinton News Network has presented a very pro government spin on the recent debackles and ordeals that the current regime seems to draw us into. When barry props up muslim dicktators in far away wastelands ; CNN eggs him on. Like most of their mainstream counterparts , CNN does nothing to alert the citizenry of the fatality of the NWO or islamification of the West.

    CNN was better in the 90's to early 2000's.

    They had on more debate shows back then(Crossfire,The Capital Gang,Evans & Novak). They're bringing back Crossfire which is good.

    Another problem I have with CNN is that they have the wrong people hosting shows. Anderson Cooper and Don Lemon shouldn't be show host they're too boring. I miss Rick Sanchez he was good. Pierce Morgan is ok he just can harp on one subject too long. Love me some Erin Burnett ;)

    Don Lemon is an idiot. CNN scooped all the other networks by a full day on getting amateur video of the 777 plane crash, but Lemon's explanation of the video was so moronic that I had to mute the sound while I watched it. He really needs to go, but they can't fire him now without looking homophobic.

    Another thing I hate; CNN used to have a much better morning news program than the Today Show on NBC, but now they have replaced it with a show that is mostly fluff and very little news, much like Today. :(

    Yeah, can't say I've been too impressed with CNN lately. There was a lot going on during that Zimmerman trial and all we got to see was that crap. You know, that case didn't need to be everywhere it didn't even effect most of the country. I just wish they'd start prioritizing the news.
