Re: CNN Ratings Hit 20-Year Low...
Anderson Cooper 360°, The Situation Room (usually, but not always), and Sanjay Gupta MD are the only programs on CNN worth watching.
Studio B, Your World with Niel Cavuto, The Five, Fox Report, The O'Reilly Factor, and Red Eye are the only programs on FNC worth watching.

I do enjoy watching The Five and Red Eye (usually on the weekends since it's on during the week at 2 AM). I think On the Record with Greta Van Susteran is the best straight news/interview show on Fox News.
The O'Reilly Factor is fine, but it's become mainly formulaic. I liked Sean Hannity better when he was part of Hannity and Colmes, and I believe Hannity's talents are way overrated compared to the ratings he gets at 8 PM.
Anderson Cooper does a decent job at times on CNN.

On the Record is okay, but they seem to be not very objective. Pretty much, the show is the FNC equivalent of Nancy Grace. Susteran is usually pretty good. I blame the producers.
I don't like Hannity. Definitely overrated.

Hannity rambles about the same thing over and over again. It drives me crazy but he is right to hammer home the point at times.

There's no need to associate Greta's program with the Nancy Grace crap. On The Record does cover some court cases, but at nowhere near the level of the Nancy Grace/HLN bloodsuckers or even Geraldo. I think Greta is the best Fox News interviewer on prime-time.

Maybe it has changed, but On the Record has been as bad as Nancy Grace. It was obvious Greta tried not letting that happen, but the producers overruled her numerous times. I don't think she controls the show as much as she should. But again, it could be different now.

Re: CNN Ratings Hit 20-Year Low...
Anderson Cooper was on a roll last night. First, with his coverage of Pastor Worley, then exposing the weaknesses in the democrats strategy to villify Romney for Bain. The focus of the show was on the latter. He asked some pretty tough questions to one democrat strategist about Obama taking money from equity firms and then making the criticism of equity firms a centerpiece of his attack on Romney, then he put Ari Fleischer against Carville (sounds like a matchup FOXNEWS would have chosen) to talk about how the dems are picking isolated intances of companies that Bain gutted instead of Bain's overall record. He had some tough questions for Carville, and when Carville just stammered, Anderson called him out for not answering the questions. Except for the part on Worley, you guys would have loved it.

Hannity is Fox's Keith Olbermann or virtually anyone else on MSNBC (does real reporting even happen on MSNBC). Not real bright, yet arrogant. As much a narcissist as Obama.

Luke Russert is the one person on MSNBC who I would consider an decent journalist. He does tilt to the left like his father Tim did, but he does do actual journalistic reporting.
I don't think Hannity is as much a narcissist as Obama. His status as the #2 rated cable news host and the #2 rated talk radio host has more to do with scheduling (Hannity follows Bill O'Reilly on Fox News and Rush Limbaugh on the radio, both #1 in their respective formats) than his talents as a television and radio host (which are very overrated). He has the basics of conservatism down, but he doesn't have the deep thought process behind conservatism like Limbaugh or Mark Levin do.

The daytime news anchors at CNN aren't far behind MSNBC in the left bias. Have you heard interviews by these anchors?
Kyra Phillips

CNN PANICS OVER SLUMP IN RATINGS...
http://www.latechbbb.com/forum/webki...08466.html.jpg
The Cable News Nightmare: CNN (and Piers Morgan) in audience crisis
Viewers are turning off in droves, lured by brash rivals and popularity of internet news sources
Stories aren't the only thing that high-profile studio anchors at CNN apparently know how to break. Judging by the latest TV ratings, they also seem to be uncannily successful at destroying the loyalty of viewers.
Figures from ratings agency Nielsen show that America's most famous rolling news brand has just experienced its worst month for almost 20 years, parting company with more than 50 per cent of its audience in 12 months.
The development follows years of unrelenting decline for the network, which pioneered 24-hour news in the 1980s, and was for years the top-rated news channel. It has in recent years suffered intense competition from Fox News and MSNBC, which both now outperform it in almost every time slot.
The figures also raise questions about the future of Piers Morgan, hired to shake up its prime-time schedule with an hour-long weeknight interview show. He drew an average of 417,000 viewers, a fall of 50 per cent and the network's worst figure for the slot since the early 1990s. Morgan's show is largely admired by critics. But his audience is volatile, and seems to vary according to the calibre of guests. In early 2011, when he took over from octogenarian Larry King, who boasted around 600,000 viewers, Morgan said his show should be judged "by how we settle down in between six months and a year". By that measure, he's in trouble.
May saw CNN's average audience fall to 388,000, of which a mere 113,000 are adults in the 25-54 age bracket that advertisers covet. The figures represent an exponential increase in the rate of decline for the channel, which is also undermined by the internet's rise in popularity as a breaking news source.
Turn-offs: CNN's flop presenters
Piers Morgan
Hired in a blaze of publicity almost 18 months ago, the former Mirror and News of the World editor brings Fleet Street bombasity to his 9pm slot. But the show averages just 39,000 viewers in the all-important 25-54 demo.
Erin Burnett
"Smart, entertaining, and ahead of the news," is how CNN describes its 7pm anchor. The public must see things differently, given this respected (but perhaps monochrome) former financial journalist's prime-time show draws only 409,000 viewers – of which a woeful 46,000 belong to the 24-54 demographic that advertisers covet.
Anderson Cooper
Famed for his black T-shirts, perfect quiff and the live-on-air takedowns of public figures (on a slot he calls "Keeping 'em Honest!"), Mr Cooper is a cable news institution and the unofficial "face" of CNN. That hasn't stopped him managing to lose a quarter of his viewers in the past 12 months.
Wolf Blitzer
Bearded, bespectacled, and a fixture of CNN's line-up for more than 20 years, the ever-reliable Blitzer should be required viewing in an election year. But viewing figures for his 4-6pm Situation Room, billed as a "raw, unfiltered, and live" breaking news programme
Rest of story

Re: CNN Ratings Hit 20-Year Low...
Did you read it? If so, then you would see that they say CNN isn't biased enough. They've played in the middle so much that today's polarization (of which you support) and their lack of understanding of the internet (no surprise there, Time Warner sucks) is making them obsolete.

Okay...so which way should they go? More to the left, back to their roots? If they do, they would probably pass msnbc again in the ratings. I'd love to see msnbc fade away, even if it means they are replaced by CNN.
But, in the bigger picture, yes, the polarization of our nation, which is nothing new, has risen to new heights under obummer. There is really no middle left in politics. Anyone, like John McCain, who tries to occupy the middle, finds little support. This nation is as divided as it has been since 1860. Back then, the division was mostly (not totally) regional, today it is philosophical and folks, at both ends of the spectrum, have dug their heels in. They cyphon the ever-shrinking middlers to their side, as the middlers seek to find comfort by being in a larger group. A distinct human characteristic, such as leads other-wise sensible people to jump on the lspoo bandwagon, for instance. "All my neighbors have done it..." Just another in a looooooooooooooooong list of failures for obummer, who promised to be a uniter. He is the most partisan president in history, and his libtard policies have failed miserably.
Back to the media. Since they have to attract an audience to get ratings to attract advertisers (hmmmm, good old fashion capitalism), the networks have learned the middle has disappeared. So! choose a side and cater to it.

Re: CNN Ratings Hit 20-Year Low...

I watch CNN, but it's not because I don't like Fox. It's more because I can't stand Fox's morning show. When it's not on, I'm probably watching both. Rush said yesterday that people watch shows, they don't watch networks. I think he's right.

If they gave Rush a show, they would improve their ratings significantly... at least when he's on. I doubt they would be willing to do that though. They are probably trying to steal Al Sharpton from MSNBC instead.

If you really believe that "CNN isn't biased enough. They've played in the middle so much ", Then you are the blind one. You know not the history nor have viewed for enough years what their part (founded in 1980) of creating truly biased liberal news coverage was and still is all about. You've never known the difference as I doubt you were even born yet when CNN started/went down and what it has morphed into today. CNN used to be more centered in the middle but it left that a very, very long time ago. And obviously you can't see it now either. or you have zero concept of what an unbiased "Middle" as you stated it really is. I know that FOX is biased and admit it as it fights the uphill battle daily against the rest of the the entire mass media. And it still is closer to the truth on a daily basis.

You don't get it do you? First, the comment was about the article. That was their statement and it contradicts everything you say, especially since it is true. Secondly, yes, CNN has is just as unbiased as anyone else. They do play the middle, they don't go to extremes of everyone else.
THAT IS WHY THEY ARE LOSING VIEWERS.
Guess what? You admit Fox News is biased, but you are okay with it because it "balances" out the rest? That's bullshit and you know it when it comes to news organization. You are too far right to know what the middle is and have no base to challenge me on it.
It's better for you to just admit both, and all, are crappy products.

CNN is not in the middle and hasn't been for 2 decades at least (Klinton and post Klinton)!! And they have been ultra left biased for years. You're just not old enough to have seen the difference from where they they have come from (1980).

Same here. I didn't watch Crossfire all the time, but it was noteworthy that conservative values and viewpoints were being debated on a major news network like CNN was at that time. In the 80s and into the 90s, people didn't see conservatism debated that much on national television, so Crossfire stood out because of it. Changing the format of the show to include a studio audience and bringing in Carville, Begala, and Carlson killed the show.
CNN's slow decline into irrelevance is similar to the decline of the traditional media. More and more people do not trust the traditional media players, such as the print newspapers, the major broadcast networks, and CNN due to those journalists openly leaning more to the left. Once that trust is gone, it is very difficult to win it back. Also, people today have many more options to get their news from the Internet, as the new media players have emerged like The Drudge Report and the Andrew Breitbart network of websites.

Re: CNN Ratings Hit 20-Year Low...
How many of you have actually watched without bias CNN in the last year or two (or decade)? Besides TT paying ever so slight attention to cnn.com, I'm gathering no one here has watched CNN in over 20 years. What could possibly give you the idea that you know anything about them if that's the case?

I watched it quite a bit during Katrina. I was hoping for a view other than the ones being spewed by CBS, ABC, NBC, etc.. I got more of the same from CNN. Case closed.

Re: CNN Ratings Hit 20-Year Low...
I watch all the networks. msnbc is the toughest to stomach, even for short stints. I also listen to NPR, especially when there's a specific news item they are all covering. In this way I can make a comparison on the same issue.....compare apples to apples.
Overall, FOX News does the best job. BUT!!! that is NOT to say they always do the best job. There have been some news' stories when I thought FOX missed an opportunity to present a more balanced view, and one of the other networks, in the case I am thinking of it was CBS, did a slightly better job. But, 90% of the time, FOX will give the closest balanced report.
Truthfully, and this includes FOX, none of them do as well as I think they could. This is a function of capturing an audience, i.e. mostly telling them what they want to hear, getting ratings, and being able to sell advertisement. msnbc and the other libtard networks rail against capitalism, yet practice it to the Nth degree themselves. Self-serving hypocrites.

I watch CNN, although not as much as Fox News. In addition, I frequently visit newsbusters.org, which does a good job of memorializing left wing bias in the news. Do a word search of CNN on Newsbusters and see what you find.

CNN (the "prime political network") barely covered the Walker win in Wisconsin last night. The broke in to announce the results. And MSNBC was so biased (had the union boss head as a talking head the whole night) in their coverage it made me ill. At least FOX's Hannity calls his show and himself opinion driven and had Juan Williams (ubberlib) on all night.

Re: CNN Ratings Hit 20-Year Low...
I have to wonder if someone is running a black op on you TT because the CNN you report and the CNN there is are two completely different things. (as goes for some other stuff you post about)
It's not surprising that Glenn Beck has 300,000+ paid subscribers. He's opinionated. He doesn't report, he throws out his opinion. Americans loves opinions and not much anything else when it comes to news. They don't want to make up their own mind, they want it made up for them.
Here's a graphic of ratings for last week.
http://www.allthingscnn.com/2012/06/...28-june-1.html
http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-I8WmPzmX2k...46.50%2BPM.png
I find it interesting, despite the ratings, they are raking in $600-million.
http://www.nytimes.com/2012/05/03/bu...pagewanted=all
Also of note, the smallest amount of research (and paying attention to what is said) will tell you CNN isn't biased enough. The idea they are the Communist New Network or ultra-liberal like MSNBC or anything similar holds no water. They aren't losing ratings because the are like that, it's because they aren't. And, because people want opinions and to be told what to think and CNN isn't opinionated enough (not to be confused with lacking opinions).

I was flipping around to all 3 channels last night. If I wanted the conservative view, I went to Fox. If I wanted the liberal view, I went to CNN. If I wanted the socialist view, I went to MSNBC.
I think this summarizes their thoughts pretty well:
MSNBC: What in the world just happened? Can you believe those idiots voted for Walker again?!
CNN: Sure wish Obama would have helped Barrett out more.
Fox: This is probably the beginning of the end of public sector unions. It will embolden conservative governors.

I think this summarizes their thoughts pretty well:
Msnbc: What in the world just happened? Can you believe those idiots voted for walker again?!
Cnn: Sure wish obama would have helped barrett out more.
Fox: This is probably the beginning of the end of public sector unions. It will embolden conservative governors.
Great summary!!! :D

Re: CNN Ratings Hit 20-Year Low...
I need to edit MSNBC's a little.
MSNBC: What in the world just happened? Can you believe those idiots voted for Walker again?! The 1% came in and spent a lot of money to keep the 99% down.

Burnett and Anderson do not really pontificate on such matters. They are really good at asking pointed questions and follow-ups. FoxNews is more interested in broadcasting their opinions.

She was one of the ones wondering why Obama didn't go to Wisconsin to help Barrett. She thought this comment by Paul Begalla was the best argument of the night:
"When Clinton was President, all the Republicans did was try to impeach him from day 1. Now they are acting like he is the best president of all time (since he disagrees with Obama on raising taxes)."
She really liked that and lol'd.

I saw it, but she didn't say it was the best argument of the night. She only asked questions. She did LOL at the response (and a few others), but he was making a funny point. Plus if she laughs at his jokes, it sets him up for the followup question. You gotta watch her method. She is good.

I wish it was that easy. In reality what you get is two of them (CNN and MSNBC) giving the Democratic view, and Fox giving the Republican view. MSNBC is just CNN off their meds. NBC, CBS and ABC are also dem leaning news outlets, which is why Fox has such a huge following (the dems split their viewership).
"News" outlets having philosophical slants don't bother me nearly as much as "news" outlets with slants based on political party. And fair and balanced doesn't mean you get one clown from each side and have them talk over each other, it means someone is doing actual, real research and analysis and not being afraid to present facts (and whether you like it or not, the real "news" reporters on Fox do that).
Without a non-partisan, free press, this country is toast. If you want to know why our government sucks, you need look no further than the MSM and cable news outlets.

I agree whole-heartedly. I remember Obama trying to discredit Fox in his first year and he wouldn't even give them interviews and made their correspondents sit in the back of the room at the press briefings. He wants ALL the media on board his ship and all but Fox are more than willing. It is their Constitutional responsibility to be the 4th branch of government and they just are not when a Democrat is in office.

That is because I am not home to see the daytime lineup. I tune into Burnett and Cooper and change the channel when Piers comes on. He has to be the dumbest Brit I have ever seen.

Have you ever watched Bret Baier's program on Fox News? Personally, I think it's the best cable news show on television.

Bret Baier was a guest on one of the libtard shows, and the lib host acknowledged that Baier is the best, not only on FOX, which he tried to make a joke of (kind of like saying a team is the best in the belch), but then the libtard got serious and said with sincerity that Baier is the best in the business, period. I agree.
I also like Chris Wallace.

Re: CNN Ratings Hit 20-Year Low...
Another reason the liberal cable news networks are in trouble. They think that not reporting the news will make it go away. Plus they believe the American people, or at least their liberal base, are dumber than dirt (true).
NBC reports on 'Fast and Furious' -- more than a year after scandal breaks!
-
Re: CNN Ratings Hit 20-Year Low...
John King was too dry to be anything more than a segment reporter. Otherwide, he did an okay job.
There is no way people will sit through 3 hours of Blitzer. He's going to get burned out pretty quick or rely too much on guest.

Re: CNN Ratings Hit 20-Year Low...
I must say that I'm enjoying Candy Crowley's show here lately (CNN). She took Axelrod to task on the jobs' numbers, and just roasted a democrapic congressman on his "party line" re: obummer care. Whoa! For their sake, I hope CNN can pick up some additional viewership from the middle. Cuz they are quickly alienating themselves from the lefty whackos! No cocktail party invites for you, Candy....

Which fact?
People have known for years that Anderson Cooper was gay. I guess it only made news because he absolutely confirmed it, on the record.

Ignore TT on that. Since homosexuality is such an abomination to him, he thinks it is why CNN is losing ratings, ignoring all the other things homosexuals are involved in that haven't crashed. So I guess also ignore that "not that I care" part.
Also, he's ignoring the purpose of the article and that it had almost nothing to do with CNN.

I assumed that was what Tyler was implying, but I was seeking clarification--didn't want to assume. In my recent experience on the board, some have become so polarized (not referring to you or Tyler) that civility is completely abandoned. Personally, I don't feel the need to go "there." I enjoy knowing others' views, especially when they are different. Makes life interesting.

Rush Limbaugh: CNN will shift political stance
Says network desperate to 'recapture their lost glory'
PALM BEACH, Fla. – With CNN firmly entrenched in the abyss of the ratings sewer, radio host Rush Limbaugh is predicting a shift in the political viewpoint of the cable news network.
“I think I figured out what CNN’s gonna do to try to recapture their lost glory,” Limbaugh said this afternoon on his top-rated program.
“I think they’re gonna move further to the left, try to even ‘out-left’ MSNBC. That’s based on a couple of things I’ve seen. It’s too early to know for certain. Too soon to tell right now. But it looks to me like that CNN is gonna move even further left in their valiant effort to recapture the 98 percent of their audience that they’ve lost since the 1980s.”
CNN is at a 20-year low when it comes to viewership.
For instance, for Friday night, July 6, CNN’s primetime audience was an astonishingly low 291,000 viewers nationally, according to Nielsen TV ratings data.
The Fox News Channel dominated the ratings that evening, with nearly 1.3 million viewers, and MSNBC a distant second at 568,000.
MSNBC is considered by many to be the network that leans the farthest to the political left, with Fox News at the opposite end of the spectrum.

Re: CNN Ratings Hit 20-Year Low...
About a year ago, or so, I commented that on our local cable CNN was moved from Channel 4 to 64, and how many households wouldn't be able to get it, since basic cable stops at Channel 59. I added that CNN is fading away, has lost its popularity. One of our libtard posters laughed at that the notion, told me "No way" and "Dream on." Ya know....it's not easy being right all the time. It's a burden I bear for the good of mankind.
Actually, CNN is not all that bad, just a personal opinion. It's certainly more credible than MSNBC (Channel 56 locally), which is full of liars and pinko commie fags.
