CNN Why Are You Even On The Air? - I Mean It

[DanieRains]

Today we had possibly the most consequential interview in the history of our country. CNN it appears you may have missed it.

My wife said she couldn't believe Cuomo's show. She asked me if I knew what his show was about. Of course I knew. The Bernie / Elizabeth micro story. Yep.

I have CNN on my TV in a bedroom, and I walked by it 4 times in the last 2 hours. All they were showing was the absolutely meaningless dustup between Sanders and Warren. I then go back to the front room to watch the coverage of the person who GOT TO THE BOTTOM OF THE UKRAINE AFFAIR for the entire world. Possibly the most important interview in American history.

CNN, why are you even broadcasting?

You do realize while you are wasting the time of your viewers right CNN? The Trump Gang are all being cooked on the other channel live. From Pence, to Barr, Pompeo to Rudy and the rest. Trump's "i'm innocent" defense was completely obliterated. And you are asking people what they think about what Bernie said and what Liz said.

Don't bother CNN.

Just go away.

1. I guess they are mad they

Didn’t get the interview.

2. I saw 10 seconds of Cuomo. He was letting a conservative pundit issue her talking points on this.

That's when I went back to MSNBC. :p

8. I happen to like CNN

and have for all of its existence, now 40 years. Having said that, when Rachel Maddow has a huge get on, there isn't much that Chris Cuomo or anyone in that time slot on a real news network could do. Especially when a day later Anderson Cooper has a similar opportunity to interview Parnas and his attorney for CNN (interviewed on Wednesday for broadcast Thursday). I am not sure how the broadcast/cable news business works or if the 360 producing team doesn't get advance tape of the Rachel Maddow interview to possibly expand on certain topics that may have been missed or something else to add to this. I must say that the Maddow squad is very sharp and not prone to missing many relevant points if allowed to ask, so their work will be cut out for them.

I would like for CNN, who created the cable news game, to re-invent it for real information and less political coverage. We know it will not happen, the marketplace will not reward them for it, but one can hope.

9. They are on the air to make money.

That is all.

10. Fuck Jeff Zucker

11. CNN carried the debate, it's a big deal to get a debate

so of course they're going to cover it. Plus in the long run they'll possibly be long lasting repercussions.

13. What is the one thing you can predict the MSM will do every election?

Play up the theme of Dem's disorganization and show lots of clips of Dems bashing Dems.
