    FNC is so dominant these days; when will CNN do something/anything to regain some viewers?

  • blueblogger

    Tonight for the first time in years I was in a public place that had CNN on all sets.

    CNN is a joke, no matter how much advertising they want to spend…

  • Papa Ray

    One of the things CNN could do to start getting better ratings is to cover all of the news, not just what fits their ideological bent. And to report it fairly and with both sides getting a shot at telling their stories. If it is just a pure news event they need to not report it as they see fit, but how it actually happened.

    I doubt they will ever do those things, so they will go down the tube so far as to not be worth a government “bail out”.

    The only place I’ve ever been where CNN was on all the televisions was the Atlanta airport. Other than that… not as such.

    I do however, fear for Glenn Beck’s foes both in the Media, and Capitol Hill who are out to distroy him, by any means open to them. They feel he is a “Rabale Rouser” and wish to silence him. Although I am not a big “Consperiosy Theory Supporter” Mr. Beck has given some Washington “Long Knives” the ammunition with his admission of being a recovering alcoholic with the means of doing away with him via suicide in a park, in his car, with a bottle booze pored over him like that fellow in Washinton D.C. a few years ago. Just remember how that incident was swept under the rug by the media and Washington Press.

    The other news groups need to report on Anti-Liberal items when they comes up .CNN and others need to get back on being our watchdogs not the Obama’s koolaid drinking talking points.

    Example of no other news groups except FOX reporting : Acorn problems, Black Panther voter intimidation, Obama inviting felons to the Whitehouse dinners etc.

    until then Fox is where you can only hear these things.

    I rarely watch anything buy Fox, If I hear about a good story, it will not be on anything but Fox. Glen is my favorite, with O’Reilly second. I never miss them, I record them if I am going to be out. I want to know about the scandles like ACORN, you won’t hear about that on NBC. I want the press to cover our Safe for Pedophiles in Schools Czar. I want fair coverage of the Tea Party movement. I want something besides White House propoganda. Climate gate real coverage, real questions, real answers.
