More Heads to Roll at CNN [Obama sycophant O'Brian out]

Well, maybe not “shock,” since the new president of CNN Worldwide has made no secret of his intention to shake up the ratings-challenged cable network from top to bottom.

Erin Burnett, with Chris Cuomo moved to morning slot. Bets on Morgan?

[TexasFreeper2009]

James Carville and Mary Matalin also out!

now if they just can that idiot Brit who keeps trying to take our guns away they might have a shot at relevance again.

Hey Fox, give them “Shemp” Smith!

[Craigon]

AMEN!

“Hey Fox, give them “Shemp” Smith!”

[twister881]

Zucker’s plan: Out with the old lefties, in with the new lefties. Ratings *guaranteed* to skyrocket.

Firing Soledad O’Brien would have sent the proper message towards relevance. Erin Burnett was very effective at CNBC and should have been used differently. Rachel Nichols was a great hire but will CNN really be able to find a niche in sports?

If they really wanted to be smart they would target conservatives that are starting to get bored with Fox. The best two things on Fox right now are The Five and Red Eye. On those shows conservatives can still be conservatives.

Ann Curry was hoping to get an CNN show, but she isn’t getting one.

CNN needs to work on their philosophy. Most of those personalities are just newsreaders. They read what given to them.

As long as the head office philosophy is to be a pep-rally squad for Team Obama and the Left, CNN will continue to suffer in the ratings.

Here is a novel idea: Try being a real news organization instead of a propaganda tool of the politicians.

Your headline comment isn't right: Soledad O'Brien is NOT out: CNN veteran O’Brien’s fate is up in the air, though it’s probable she’ll receive a plum assignment. “Soledad is very important to the network and we are discussing various options with her,” a CNN spokeswoman said in a terse statement.

The problem is that they want to be propagandists for socialism. Atheism/Socialism is their religion, and they are true believers.

CNN would not have to move very far to the right to equal Fox.
Since Fox has moved left. There is not much difference in the two.

Great post! Send Sheppie Smith to CNN or any other irrelevant network. We change the channel when his 2 shows are on!

[RetiredTexasVet]

Somebody actually watches CNN, I mean other than the ones required to wear helmets for their own protection or incarcerated or otherwise captive audiences. I think CNN is mandatory in hospital waiting rooms .... what the hell, you are sick anyway.

[rolling_stone]

I thought CNN died in the bombing of the baby milk factory

[Cringing Negativism Network]

BIG bump on that idea.

Heck yeah. Win us over CNN. Go ahead and try.

(Seriously)

You just might, the way Fox is going.

[Jabba the Nutt]

I remember when Donahue was brought on to MSNBC and their primetime line-up was going to be built around him. No audience Donahue, brought no audience to MSNBC and he’s disappeared without a trace.
