CNN Announces Major Shakeup -- Including Jake Tapper Hosting 9 PM Through the Election

CNN, Thursday, announced a series of major lineup changes set to take effect Oct. 10. The most notable move shifts Jake Tapper into prime time. He’ll anchor the 9 p.m. slot, immediately following Anderson Cooper. The move will last through Nov. 11 — giving CNN a major new presence in the prime time hours right through the election...

... read the article... maybe Jake will be good in prime time - I'm not sure. They don't have a lot of resources. One name I recall I did like watching - Brianna Keilar. But they gave her a co-host and it doesn't work... I'd give her the solo prime time shot. I think CNN needs a replacement up top - in who decides this stuff!

watch!! Look away!

Apparently any mention of CNN now sets off a strange and evidence free knee jerk response in more than a few.

CNN is great, watch all the time!

bended knee to offer to MAGA help with its destruction.. Did you see the leaked GOP plans if they win Congress? Those would be hugely unpopular. Thus, it appears to me, that they think future elections can be rigged and they won't have to worry about voter's opinions. CNN has chosen to be a part of that effort IMHO. Thus, they are dead to me.

CNN doesn't value us clearly. Why would i watch what is essentially propoganda?

I guess they needed a torturer to even things out.
Funny thing is, Yoo's opinion on the Mar a Lago docs has been virtually identical to Conway's.

It's the most nasally, whiny voice in television news.

I can't listen to it.

Every other woman in politics is criticized for her "voice." (Especially Dem women; especially Hillary).

I watched his commentary during the hearings. He was good then.

I haven’t watched him since the switch, so I don’t have an opinion on how right he’s gone. IIRC he used to be with Salon years ago, hardly a RW rag.
