This Is CNN

[tres bien]

CNN covers every tragic story like a mini series. They give it a title, creepy music and put John Berman or Erin Burnett, etc on the ground for days

I can't watch this for hours and days on end. The politics coverage is over the top too. OMG I'm watching Catchy TV to escape reality 🙁

As far as the return of Stelter. I was never a fan of the show after Howard Kurtz left. But I don't think CNN has a clue. They dump him to cut costs or something just to bring him back in exact same role? You guys are never going to figure out how to right this sinking ship

And BTW shame on them for everything disgusting from the "town hall" with Trump to the way they handled the June debate to the interview with VP

True! I had thought with new leadership, that things would get back to normal, but CNN is still fumbling. WITW is going on with this network?

How long ago was that "town hall"? 

Doesn't VP deserve an invitation

CNN adding a paywall to CNN.com articles. Ugh

No more online articles from CNN for me. Plenty of other news outlets.

I’m so over them

The only way I'd pay for CNN digital content is if it came without the deluge of pop-ups and ads that I currently have to suffer when visiting the site.

I use Adblock on my phone and computer.

Don’t write them off completely. It sounds like it pertains only to certain things

I really like CNN's website; it covers news from around our country; around the world (I love the archaeological stories); some entertainment, etc. It would be sad to see this go because I will not pay to read it. Sadly, the political news will probably still be free.

I do go there, especially in this political season. When I get something clickbaity from some other more partisan site, I check cnn.com to see if it really happened.

They are not without their bias, but if anyone knows a more straight down the middle, neutral source, please tell me!

@Palimelon, I use Adblock also, and it helps, but not enough.

Strange, mine works pretty well, even on Youtube's website.

I'll miss his interviews, but I understand why he's leaving.

I'm thinking he wasn't thrilled to do "the panel" & preferred interviews.  Just sayin'!

We really don't like the panels that CNN seems to love using. I prefer one on one (at the most, two guests). 

[Cementhead]

I recall they hired Chris Wallace to be a big player on their streaming service CNN+ that was going to make a big splash in the world of streaming.  He was their 'big get.' Until said streamer was squashed a month after it debuted.  They never really knew what to do with him after that and it was never more obvious than when they stuck him on one of their nightly panels with the usual CNN crew -- he always stuck out like a sore thumb.  Smart move on his part to move along.

[Cementhead]

CNN staff 'scared and frustrated' about looming layoffs that 'will target network's most expensive shows.'

CNN 'will axe top stars in layoffs that'll see hundreds fired as ratings continue to tank.'

[annzeepark914]

Good grief. Will Kaitlyn ever return to the studio? I guess now that she's also chief WH correspondent, her show will be following Trump wherever. I'm switching over to Wagner.

So, there are stories that CNN will be moving Jim Acosta to a 12am-2am slot. This makes zero sense. Apparently he currently has the highest rated program on CNN with his 10am slot.

It's no accident that Acosta was the very correspondent, among all the networks, who gave Trump V.1 the hardest time in press conferences and other opportunities. So chalk up another moment for media cowardice/genuflection.
