Bill Gorman was definitely right about one thing when he referred to these pages as “muck.”
@ Changing hosts would matter and no one except for CNN is doing that
Did we mention that Dick Morris IS GOING to CNN???
The Situation Room ratings keep getting crappier and crappier. Maybe It shouldn’t be 3 HOURS long.
Maddows is on fire- as she should be.
Makes me happy to see AC360 carrying CNN. Great show.
Hoppy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How the muck are ya???????
@USA
Pierre Le Pew is constantly changing his mind. He moved to the far right when the Republican Party started moving to the wingnut side about 6 years ago. Cantor is finally waking up to the reality that the Hispanic population is actually growing faster than any other group…something Democrats have known for years because Dems actually educate themselves trending numbers of demographics, facts, and actually use Math.
If CNN wants to improve their ratings, this is the line-up they need to go after:
4PM – Erin Burnett Live
5PM – The Blaze w/Glenn Beck
6PM – Situation Room w/Blitzer, Malveaux, and Soledad
7PM – Lou Dobbs Tonight
8PM – Countdown w/Keith Olbermann
9PM – Piers Morgan Tonight
10PM- Anderson Cooper 360
11PM- Repeat of their highest rated Show
Mark2,
You lose credibility with KO. He is one of the nastiest liars on TV, and rarely has differing opinions. If you think BO is crap KO is crap * 10
@Bobby
Who cares about credibility when it comes to CNN ratings they need all the help they can get. GB is worse than KO but he’ll still bring in really good numbers…both of them will.
@Bobby
Fox News credibility is very low but they still do well in the ratings.
News alert: A Public Policy Poling survey shows Fox News is the least trusted news organization in the U.S.

Now why am I not surprised.
@ Rod………………..Thanks for the link! MSNBC less trustworthy. Ha ha;
Rod D ,
I know you want to be fair solet’s tell the whole story.
Democratic Poll (PPP): Fox News most trusted (and least trusted) network in America

An American Hero: The Uncommon Valor of Clint Romesha to air Thursday at 10 p.m.

Fishbowl rumors……….
FishbowlDC stirs CNN’s pot by suggesting that Candy Crowley could be leaving the network…
There are murmurings that Candy Crowley may be contemplating a change.
Sources tell us Crowley has been entertaining the idea of picking up her blocks and making a change, even before Zucker arrived.
But FishbowlDC wasn’t done there…
Executives are buzzing that Kate Bolduan was “born to anchor.” So expect to see more of her. Also in the “like” category is Brianna Keilar, who is perceived as a fresh, younger face.

Democratic Poll (PPP): Fox News most trusted (and least trusted) network in America
——————–
It should be pointed out PPP was the most accurate poll in the 2012 election. To be perfectly honest I personally thought there polling practices were not so great and didn’t trust them(ie robopolling) but it turns out I was wrong
HanNutty loses again…Groucha Van loses again…Fox slipping….Kudlow with invisible ratings on CNBC…goodbye right wing.
This would be a good time for MSNBC to bring back Keith Olbermann. He’s so much better than Ed.

In the HuffPo video about this, a woman talks about FNC’s demographic of “suburban frightened old white people starting to die off”. Where did I hear that before and often? These robots all have the same exact narrative.
The whole story.
Just like last year, researchers also found that Fox News is both the least trusted and most trusted network when compared to the other networks in the survey.
The whole story.
CNN*****Trust the most 38%
MSNBC**Trust the most 35%
FNC*****Trust the most 34%

“For all practical purposes, employer-based health insurance as a benefit ten years from now is not gonna exist, if everything happens the way Obama and the Democrats have designed it. That is the purpose.” -Rush Limbaugh
“This prime minister of Egypt is the second in command over there, and he’s running around saying that women are causing diarrhea because they don’t properly clean their breasts. Can you imagine the embarrassment of having the second in command of your country saying stupid stuff like that? Can you imagine? Isn’t it a good thing we don’t have anybody like that here?” -Rush Limbaugh
RUSH: Back to CNN this morning, Starting Point, Soledad O’Brien, soon to be moved out of there. You haven’t heard that? Well, she’s gonna be reassigned. They’re taking her out of the morning show. Oh, you must not have heard this. They got ratings information, Snerdley, and it says that — of course every CNN audience is tiny, it’s microscopic, but they dug deep and they found out the vast majority — well, somebody at CNN has denied this, by the way, but it was originally reported that they said her audience, in addition to being microscopic, is too ethnic. It’s like ten black people watching and a couple of Hispanics. Somebody went out there and later denied this, says her audience is too ethnic.
