CNN President Jim Walton, who has been with the company for 30 years, has announced that he’s resigning. He will remain with the network until the end of the year.
“CNN needs new thinking,” Walton wrote in a note to staff this morning. “I have interests to explore, I need to give myself time to do [them].”
See various quotes and his note after the jump…

So who does that leave for CNN? Almost no one, apparently.
COme back to the light, CNN...walk towards the light.
If they merged with MSLSD they might actually have a customer base. As it is, the ratings of both of them are in the toilet, but then so is their sense of humor.
Where WAS Barack Hussein on 9/11/2001?
“Wonder which Black, female, homosexual they replace him with?”
Condi?
Anyone here who was happy a couple of weeks ago at the prospect of her being VP should be overjoyed at the idea!
It takes awhile for news to get from Charlottesville to Walton Mountain.
That was uncalled for.
Another leftist rat abandoning the Obama propaganda ship the S/S Joseph Goebbels?
“So who does that leave for CNN? “
I think there is a big market for actual reporting. There’s plenty of material out there to work on.
Too bad it isn’t going to happen at CNN.
His replacement? Keith Olberman
Paging Keith Olberman, Mr. Keith Olberman please pick up the white courtesy phone.
While it is enjoyable to see great minds arriving at identical solutions at the very same time, putting that goof in charge of anything at CNN but going for lattes would be like tossing a grenade into a hen house.
...nothing but lots of noise, then feathers and chickensh** flying everywhere.
Unfortunately, now MSNBC actually gets better ratings than CNN. That’s disturbing and a change I only realized a few months ago.
Indeed.
Everyone, watch you some Olympics - any sport.
Maybe by example, we can get our MOJO Gold back!
G’night, Jim-Boy.
(Hope this isn't a duplicate post - personal MOJO off kilter. Sorry.)

But, it is only for the people.
And, CNN is too big to fail.
““CNN needs new thinking”
They can rewrite history like Obama wants.
