CNN ratings have become substantially feast or famine. Big news events often drive giant ratings spikes that typically disappear after the event is over. Latest evidence being the grim ratings comparisons vs. September and 3rd quarter 2008 vs. the same periods in 2009.
It does bring Tom Petty to mind.

One would think that the folks over at the Commie News Network would get the hint before they go belly up. You have Anderson Cooper not only calling Tea Party participants Tea Baggers, he makes it an obscene joke to boot! They cater to the left, don’t report on subjects like Acorn or Van Jones till it’s too late. They play down any conservative issue that comes up with disdane, and basically are # 2 in being complicit with this corrupt administration. People today are much better informed about current events, and no…not by just watching FOX. People can see the one sided and biased reporting on CNN and MSNBC and they don’t trust them as their news source. Hence… low ratings which will continue until someone over there wakes up, which by all indications.. will never happen. I for one am enjoying watching them self-destruct, it’s long overdue!
BTW… anyone have a deal on a new Saturn?? cause Fox just reported GM is shutting it down… nothing yet about it on CNN or MSNBC… how shocking! How’s that Stimulas Package working for ya?? I love it!
I was going to comment, but Dave pretty much nailed it.
Glenn Beck is the best comedy show on TV.
Commie News Network? I’m wondering how many people know what words like communist and socialist actually mean anymore.
Whenever I watch CNN I remember that they self-censored the news from Iraq before Gulf War One in order to keep a staff in Iraq. I also remember that in the beginning of Gulf War Two some CNN executive gave a speech accusing US troops of deliberately shooting reporters. I am not a fan.
mike…
I used to call it the Clinton News Network… but they have moved up to Commie News Network…I guess if it was SNN …socalist would be more appropriate… Yes I do know what communism means… it means sharing the wealth and the abolition of the ineqities in the posession of property for the common good. In other words as Obama told Joe the Plumber in his driveway he thinks it’s good to spread the wealth around…remember that? and since CNN so worships Obama and refuses to fairly report the news…they are complicit in his communist beliefs. Socialism is basically what Obama wants…remember him saying he wanted to fundalmentally change America? So either way it still describes CNN, and it why they and MSNBC’s ratings are in the tank! America was never founded to be a socialist society and most real Americans reject it… I hope that explains why I call it what I do. You may not agree with me, but since we live in the greatest country in the world,I think I can still express my beliefs and you can express yours. Hopefully in a few years we will still have those rights. Seems they are very much in favor of silencing dissention, don’t believe me? Google Mark Lloyd!
Click on my name for how I’d save CNN.
*LOL*
This is why America hopefully is still the best country in the world. We sometimes can be fooled, but even with the full time help of CNN LA Times and their friends to hide the truth from us, and put the Obamas and crew in the best light possible at all junctures, with the help of Fox News most of us can now seen the mistake made on Nov 4th 2008. Our citizens may sometimes be dumb but are not stupid. God Bless America and Fox News.
