I Think The Chair Looked Better Here

3:11 pm EST November 3rd, 2005 | Politics | 5 Comments

All this movement on CNN has the ill-fated feeling of reshuffling the chairs on the Titanic. CNN produces good journalism, on occasion, but is too light and fluffy like a morning show for the times we live in. Their asset is in being the source for news, perhaps they would like to break some on occasion – beyond Anderson Cooper dancing in a hurricane or Wolf Blitzer being wowed by satellite technology that was state of the art 10 years ago on the very same CNN. MSNBC’s problem is that they’re GOP-lite. If were a Republican, I wouldn’t watch MSNBC when I can get the real Republican propaganda on Fox. If MSNBC had a couple brain cells to rub against those megabillions backing up the network, they would add a good progressive host or two to complement Olbermann’s newscast.

Fox is kicking their rears largely because CNN & MSNBC have no idea what the hell they’re doing.

    I don’t watch television news anymore, and quite frankly, I cannot understand why anybody would want to.

    There’s so much better information online.

    Quaker, you need to realize that pro wrestling is mindless fun, but news and journalism is not. I have to wonder, if people like network news because it is like wrestling. You’ve got your factions, smear campains, networks, and a torid of lies and deceptions which to build upon. Every network has to have a personality, because thier skill doesn’t sell shit. I mean TV is just filled with daytime soap opera, nighttime soap operas, “reality” soap opera, music tv soap opera etc…
    I think news organizations have keyed in on the lazy, “I love my cat” sweatshirt wearing, fart joke side of our brains.
    Congratdulations news networks, I think I will go buy the farm!:)

    Well, if pro wrestling is fake, I’m going to find a real sport to enjoy – like Roller Derby.
