They are the very architects of the coup.
Time for a new sig, courtesy of Burns.
There’s a scene in the 1984 rock mockumentary “This Is Spinal Tap” in which the band’s manager is asked about its dwindling audience, and he says that “their appeal is becoming more selective.”
Then we have union members - not big newsies... and inner city poor? Nah - not a lot of hard news shows on those TV's competing with Oprah...
And who watches FOX? The middle class. Millions of 'em...
CNN's toast.
“straight reporting”
Aren’t they aware they employ Campbell Brown and teabagger Anderson Cooper?
“Time Warner-owned CNN, while getting beaten handily in the ratings race
and having fallen to fourth place in rankings, still commands
higher ad rates than rivals — in some cases double those of Fox News
and MSNBC.”
Why on earth pay more to reach fewer consumers?
Well, I’m not suprised. In trying to explain American news media
to my Canadian cousins, I’ve had to explain that the people running
lots of newspapers, magazines, TV channels, are more committed
Socialists/Communists than any in Canada/Russia.
And they’ll drive a business into the ground...just to promote their
ideology.
Now, I’m left wondering if that’s true of more than a few executives
at publically-traded companies.
“Why did you pay CNN BIG BUCKS when you could have gotten A LOT MORE
BANG using the same dollars for advertisements on Fox News Channel?”
...should be shouted loud and clear at many stockholder meetings!!!
“Socialist racist pandering propagana trash is all their presstitutes promote.”
I agree.
And if you were overseas, as I am , it’s even worse.
Their politically correct, diverse, announcers can’t announce.
They stumble over every sentence.
They can’t even read -—— their pronunciation is so poor I have a very hard time understanding what they are trying to say!
Not worth the effort nor the heart burn. I just turned them off years ago too.
Forget the Rams, Rush. Buy CNN.
If anyone can turn this network around, sir, you can. And think of the fun you’ll have pulling the plug on Jack Asserty.

That would be CNN international ?
I remember that when I took my turn in the barrel over there......now I only get to talk to such when I call outsourced customer service........:o)
You stay Safe !!
WTF? When they have leftist hacks like that Rick Sanchez anchoring the news, they are only deluding themselves if they think they are "straight reporting".
Don’t forget that CNN also fact-checks comedy skits that might even remotely be critical of Obama.
Also, CNN is still the only cable news network in about 50% of the hotels in the U.S. (Well, at least the ones I've stayed in over the past five years). One more reason I prefer to stay home as much as possible these days.
CNN is also playing in all of the McDonalds around here. I complain to the manager each time, usually some rainbow belt wearing “Pat.”
OH Gee Louize hey Abb did you hear about Lou Dobbs pay him 8 million JUST GO AWAY
That tell you how mighty CNN falls
