Jon Stewart On Erickson Hiring: CNN's New Slogan Is 'We Have No Idea What The F*ck We Are Doing' (VIDEO)

The problem is that CNN is forced to "compete" with FNC and MSNBC for viewers. In a perfect world, they would say that opinion isn't their role and they'd just give us the danged news.

I liked CNN and HLN back when they were news services.

CNN is an excellent example of the Main Stream Media and their concern for presenting news and the truth with investigative reporting.

IT'S NON-EXISTANT.

It is only about advertising revenue and viewer ratings. It has been this way for a very long time.

At this point in time, Cable News Network wouldn't know investigative journalism if it accidently appeared on their live feed and showed up on televisions everywhere.

I know I don't count for much, but since that move by CNN, I haven't been watching them. Have cable, will surf.

CNN sucks. They really do. Honestly.

I keep a brick by the remote in case I get an urge to watch that bullshit cable channel, and if that urge doesn't pass I smash myself in the face with it. The information I receive via this method is equal to whatever CNN wants to impart with me anyway--this works with AP as well, they suck too. Fox is a an honest broker in comparison, even if they do follow the old Weekly World News format of wrapping their GOP-formulated manure in a veneer of implied respectability. At least there's entertainment value at Fox News--at CNN, there's only the promise of dead brain cells. YMMV

I've long since removed CNN, FOX, HLN, and others from our TiVo/RePlayTV boxes. They simply aren't in our list. Supposedly that gets monitored by somebody somewhere.

TPM, love your Daily Show clips. But perhaps you should re-think your practice of putting Jon Stewart's big punchline in your headline -- kinda kills the joke.

CNN = Commercial Nuisense Network.

To regain ratings, CNN will need to do the following:

1. FIRE ANDERSON COOPER
2. DUMP CAMPBELL BROWN
3. RETIRE LARRY KING (he looks like a cadaver)
4. GET RID OF THE ENTIRE MORNING CREW
5. FIRE WOLFE BLITZER
6. FIRE FREDRICKA WHITEFIELD (DUMB AS PALIN)
7. RENAME TO JOHN KING SHOW AND MOVE IT TO HLN AT 3:00AM

Then they need to recruit new blood (like MSNBC).

Make the shows more inter-active using new media and actually reading viewers concerns.

How about, STOP INTERUPTING PROGRAMMING EVERY 2 MINUTES FOR COMMERCIAL BREAKS?

I stopped watching CNN about 2 years ago because I could not watch the first 3 minutes of programming without the ads.

What's up with John King? Hand under chin bull shit? All these tea baggers and not challenging the Republican talking points? John king is Sarah from Wasilla in the male form (and I am being kind to males).

The only person on that network worth their journalistic weight is Candy Crowley, but she needs to travel the country instead of just sitting at that desk.

FIRE FREDRICKA WHITEFIELD (DUMB AS PALIN)

(SexistMode)But a whole lot easier on the eyes....(/SexistMode)

And CNN actually wonders why they their viewership is dropping?

If they watch Jon Stewart, they may learn a few things on the incompetence of their management!!

Whoever thought it was a good idea to hire Erick Erickson has just surpassed the idiotic management team that thought it was a good idea to hire Rush Limbaugh for Monday night football!

Look at it this way ...

The folks NOT tuned in to what's out in the blogs can't really understand how fucking idiotic someone like this RS shithead is that's built his own megaphone.

Let the viewers decide. I did years ago. Anyone miss the Iraq war cheerleader, Aaron Brown (photo) and his breathless reportage of the US campaign of "shock and awe..."?

CNN sucks...

~OGD~

For those of you who haven't yet developed the habit of watching foreign-originated news, now would be a good time. For all the influence we've had upon them, foreign outlets generally don't have pundit panels and self-aggrandizing personalities.

CNN has become a pallid Fox clone.

The media has stop telling us news and is selling us sensationalism. In there quest for advertising dollars.
