Why CNN is finished

[mikesilvia]

First, I will throw some facts show that CNN is dead. Here is the standard cable ratings:

CABLE NEWS RACE
THURS., APRIL 16, 2009

FOXNEWS O'REILLY 3,897,000
FOXNEWS HANNITY 3,138,000
FOXNEWS GRETA 2,639,000
FOXNEWS BECK 2,233,000
FOXNEWS SHEP 1,979,000
FOXNEWS BAIER 1,866,000
CNN COOPER 1,277,000
CNN KING 1,260,000
MSNBC OLBERMANN 1,229,000
CNNHN GRACE 1,172,000
MSNBC MADDOW 1,052,000

Here is your typical CNN reporter "impartial" attitude.

I love the CNN motto of "No Bias, no bull." If CNN has to say it, they obviously know they have a bias and this reporter proves it.

Well, I don't really see how that is "facts". At most it could be considered "a fact". Also I don't see how this is "proof" CNN is dead.

As far as the reporter... was she out of line? Yes. But how is what she did/say any different than what happens on all the other cable news channels and the garbage you post every week?

This twit needs her chops popped....maybe even a foot to the rectum..CNN sux butt through a bendy straw..Makes my blood boil when i see the lefty media getting in people's face like that..They would not do it in a private setting............CNN can EAD.

And another sign:

Twitter: Ashton Kutcher passes CNN

For those who hadn't heard, Kutch challenged CNN's Breaking News to a race to 1 million followers on their respective 'Twits (I don't know what these things are called...'Twits sounds right to me, short for nitwits )

CNN, take a good look at that face: Ashton Kutcher has bested you.

The former "Punk'd" prankster squeaked by CNN early Friday, April 17 in the race to collect 1 million followers on Twitter, CNN sheepishly reported.

Ah, but don't fret, CNN. In this popularity contest, the margin was very narrow -- by only about 30 minutes.

Ashton Kutcher has a larger following than CNN...I'm not sure if that's more of a sign of the end of CNN or soceity as a whole....

CNN passed Ashton Kutcher later in the day.... what I don't understand is how this is relevant.

To why CNN is finished? Because more people pay attention to a doofus celebrity than what is supposed to be a respectable, nation-wide news outlet.

fox news is for [deleted] republicans, the only people who watch fox news is to laugh at them. My mom was on fox news one time for an interview, after watching it and waiting for her self she thought it was like the daily show, cause shes never watched fox news before.


btw where are you getting your numbers?

[OnePimpTiger]

Derogatory statements like that won't be tolerated...consider this a warning.

Then shouldn't this be a sign that Americans really are that stupid and news outlets such as CNN are pretty much doomed.

This woman is no reporter. She's activist. That's fine, but people shouldn't listen to that garbage and expect the news. They're going to get propaganda.
