If I hat a hit list for CNN. This would be my list and the order of said list.
Lou Dobbs
Wolf Blitzer
Larry King
The editors
The management.
There is hope for some of the others. I used to like CNN..... now it is the new National Enquirer. It is sad to say, the public is the catalyst for the changes I and others have witnessed. The public craves this type of reporting.
Lou Dobbs has become the "expert" on every subject. If you disagree with him,(as Obama did) he sets out on a personal vendetta. If I had to define whining in two words... it would be LOU DOBBS.The management and editors.... they are out to sell air time not substance
Wolf ... is politically challenged.... and unable to carry out an interview in most cases. Once in a while he succeeds.
Larry King... Once was a great interviewer.... now seeks sensationalism and dirt, instead of substance.
Me....I still watch it through my own personal filters...LOL

Probably because people like that are too smart to want the job. When Alberta's previous Premier stepped down, he said something like this: Anybody who wants my job probably isn't competent to do it, and anybody who is competent to do it probably isn't foolish enough to want it.

Me, too. The only bright spot left on that miserable sell out, CNN! I've never been so disappointed with that bunch.
I used to give them the benefit of the doubt, but I can't do that any more. I still watch it, too, in the same manner you describe...unfortunately,it stills seems to be the lesser of the evils to me.

I stopped watching CNN's pre-election coverage several months ago when I couldn't find out what any of the GOP candidates were up to but meanwhile they'd have nightly roundtable discussions about Hillary flashing her cleavage ("What message is she trying to send to voters by wearing more low cut blouses? Why did she wear a pink pantsuit? What does it mean? Is she trying to take the focus off of Obama's flag pin? What?!") or "cackling" ("What's so funny? How many times did she laugh during that debate? Why didn't she laugh at Obama's joke? I wonder if she's still angry that he giggled during the Pledge of Allegiance?") or "misting up" ('gasp--she showed her "softer" side...whooo-ooohh...Why did she wrinkle her nose when Charlie Gibson asked her a question about Obama's middle name? Does it mean she secretly hate Muslims?') at a campaign stop.

They understand how news reporting has successfully morphed into headline creating programs like O'reilly and hannity.
Those guys will never get cancelled, but Scarborough and a few others who still seem slanted but not caustic will be the first to drop due to ratings..These guys need ratings..They get paid for viewership and they need to be bold. This is no longer reporting, it is now newsmaking, breaking stories and
stealing viewers from the competition..

I learned years ago to stop listening to that trash. If you don't view it and only the small minority do. They will fade away. Sponsors will not sponsor money losing programs for very long.
That is the problem with everyone listening to these peoples crap. Those who sponsor them know they get heard and their products are being heard about.
Want to get rid of them stop listening and talking about them.
Bury them with non attention and listen to those who promote what you believe in.

It was by communicating to CNN and cutting back from tuning into the channel that we got rid of Ralph Reed, when he was brought on to the station.
There is a difference between confronting an issue and ignoring it. If CNN knows why their viewers are dropping off, then we can effect positive change.

I let the advertisers know. I get in touch with them and say I'm not watchinng this because of this. I've had some responses wanting to know what I do watch and why.
I'm not saying to ignore the stupidity of the people. Just ignore the products that sponsor them. Let the sponsors know.

I watch The Situation Room every day. Also watch C-Span. I have seen some good and bad on both. But they are certainly better than the CNN core news.
I have crtainly had enough of CNN. I remember just a few days ago when one of the "Pretty Young Things" made the remark about an Obama statement "Who Cares what Obama has to say anyway?"
Now how's that for fair and balanced news reporting?
CNN is so biased it's almost immoral. And they call themselves Fair and Balanced.

Hear-freakin' hear! Thank you for this--you don't even know how long I've waited for someone to shine a light on this filthy Bushco toilet brush. OMFG, do I loathe this guy. I'm shaking my HDTV remote in anger. Grrrrrrrrrrrrr... ;-[
