I detest CNN

[Archae]

When I watch breaking news, I watch MSNBC, or read the Internet.

CNN is shit.

[Emile]

1. CNN Conservative News Network

2. They have joined forces with Fox.

Pathetic

[Maine Abu El Banat]

3. Let them

The right will never trust them, and we will abandon them in a heart beat.

4. This was always my thought too!

They will not pull over FOX or worse RW cable channel viewers. They've been too conditioned to hate CNN. Moderates and progressives will abandon CNN with naueseating pandering to the RW viewpoint. I'm sure they've gamed it out that they'll take a short-term hit on viewership and advertisers that they can rebuild---but it won't turn out that way. So, they'll loose respect, integrity and viewers all to chase and support the wild, outrageous and treasonous RW shock value that keeps people talking.

Just this armchair CEO's take on things.

5. It's Rebranding time: QNN

7. Every few years, the BOD decides to put in a new CEO

who tries to turn them into Pox-lite, thinking that will siphon off Pox's enormous audience. It never does, idiots who watch Pox won't watch anything else. CNN loses viewers who want fact checked news instead of opinions from blow dried bobbleheads who clearly don't have a clue about much of anything. As soon as advertisers realize what's going on and flee, the CEO is replaced by someone who has to clean up his mess and restore their reputation as news, not propaganda.

Then the cycle begins anew.

It really sucks to see them going down the drain again. I hope it's a quicker return trip this time.

8. Goodbye again, CNN

See you back when you find out that people prefer hearing the truth, not both-siderism.

9. Desert Storm made them. 31 years later, fascists broke them.

I remember well when people either ignored or sneered at CNN, compared to the new ops of the big 3. Who are these guys and who the hell wants to watch news 24/7 anyway? How will they fill the hours when there's just not that much going on? Infotainment that flirts with and sometimes devolves completely into propaganda (Fucks News). That's how. Like Social Media, a useful innovation with a really nasty dark side. As much a scourge to political discourse in this country in the last 30 years as hate radio.

10. CNN made a real BAD Decision...

11. Good thing no one is forcing you to watch!

I rarely watch cable news, but I sometimes watch Anderson Cooper, Don Lemon, or the morning shows.

Despite what I've been reading here, I've not seen any appreciable change.

16. Like you, i enjoy these two plus a few others. BUT

IF (When) they go after these two, i will firmly believe what their goal is! I will DROP them for sure!

[BlackSkimmer]

17. I don't watch them enough to "drop them", but It will be disappointing if they go after those two.

And some others.

I really like the fellow who does special interviews, Donie something, the Irish guy. He totally tears tfg supporters to shreds, without them ever being aware of it.

I'll be disappointed if he disappears.

12. Did you write to them to tell them why?

Don't watch, but why don't you take a minute to tell them why you won't watch?

They're not here to see you complain.

[Fullduplexxx]

13. They're not going to listen to you either

[Novara]

14. I wrote to them and told them why they've lost a viewer

When enough people complain, companies do pay attention.

Complaining like this is a fart in the wind.

I honestly don't get why people are so happy to complain and complain and complain, and when someone suggests they contact the entity they're complaining about to actually tell THEM why they're unhappy, they ALWAYS come back with "uh, it won't do any good." Well, complaining here surely doesn't get anything accomplished.

Try it. You'll at least feel better.

I always keep in mind that the company I'm complaining to might not give a shit. But sometimes they do. Sometimes they write back. And sometimes they do something to fix the problem. Like your mama always said, you don't know until you try.

15. ...

Nailed it.

18. CNN loves a competitive horse race, that's when they make bucket loads of money
