CNN AND MSNBC SHOWS DEBUT IN RATINGS TOILET
CNN AND MSNBC SHOWS DEBUT IN RATINGS TOILET
What do "Big Rig Bounty Hunters" and "Swamp People" on History Channel have in common? They both pummeled CNN and MSNBC's brand new shows' debuts last week in the ratings.
What do "Big Rig Bounty Hunters" and "Swamp People" on History Channel have in common? They both pummeled CNN and MSNBC's brand new shows' debuts last week in the ratings.
CNN's attempt to mimic Fox News' hugely successful "The Five" with a five person panel show called (get to) The Point" seems to have crashed and burned in spectacular fashion. The week-long tryout at 10:00 PM ET, in place of an Anderson Cooper repeat, was dead last in cable news ratings, finishing behind CNNHLN and CNBC.

CNN anchor: “How can you not call that a person?”
CNN anchor: “How can you not call that a person?”
An eight-minute segment on Monday night reached a turning point when CNN host Erin Burnett exclaimed: “That baby was 8 pounds, 2 ounces. He was going to be born in a couple of days. How could you not define that as a person? That is a viable life.”
An eight-minute segment on Monday night reached a turning point when CNN host Erin Burnett exclaimed: “That baby was 8 pounds, 2 ounces. He was going to be born in a couple of days. How could you not define that as a person? That is a viable life.”
Burnett covered the story of Heather Surovik, who was days away from giving birth to her son, Brady. She was returning from her final prenatal checkup when a drunk driver on his fifth DUI smashed into her car. Although Heather and her other family members survived, Brady did not. Since Colorado law does not recognize pre-born children as persons, state prosecutors could charge the drunk driver only with destroying Heather’s vehicle, not with Brady’s death.

COLORADO THAT'S A BLUE STATE ISN'T IT!
AND THANK YOU ERIN BURNETT FOR THAT PURPOSEFUL OBSERVATION THAT MOST AT YOUR NETWORK DISAGREES WITH.
I hope that Erin Burnett's comment means that there's a positive change away from the liberal media stream.

More Heads to Roll at CNN
More Heads to Roll at CNN
Jeff Zucker blew up CNN on Tuesday, rattling nerves throughout the network. Insiders tell Lloyd Grove this is just the beginning.
Jeff Zucker’s reign of shock and awe has only just begun.
Well, maybe not “shock,” since the new president of CNN Worldwide has made no secret of his intention to shake up the ratings-challenged cable network from top to bottom.

WHEN I WORKED AT NBC AND WAS ON THE TODAY SHOW, I SAT RIGHT NEXT TO ZUCKER IN THE BACK ROW WHERE THE PRODUCERS SIT IN THE CONTROL ROOM.
UNIQUE EXPERIENCE I CAN ASSURE YOU.
AT CNN Soledad O’Brien is off the morning show. Jake Tapper is up at 4PM reducing Blitzer's time in the Situation Room. Up against The Five It's a rating sucker from CNN and MSNBC combined.

MORGAN FOR MITT: CNN STAR SAYS ROMNEY 'MIGHT JUST SAVE AMERICA'
MORGAN FOR MITT: CNN STAR SAYS ROMNEY 'MIGHT JUST SAVE AMERICA'
Watch "America's Got Talent" judge turned CNN talker Piers Morgan and you can't help but notice how he badgers conservatives while hurling softballs at left-of-center guests.
Watch "America's Got Talent" judge turned CNN talker Piers Morgan and you can't help but notice how he badgers conservatives while hurling softballs at left-of-center guests.
That hardly makes him unusual in mainstream media circles.
What is unusual, though, is the column he just penned for The Daily Mail. The headline says it all, "He's one of the least principled politicians I've met. But I believe Mitt Romney might just save America."

THIS JUST MIGHT SAVE PIERS MORGAN'S TV SHOW! IT IS THE LOWEST RATED PRIMETIME CABLE NEWS SHOW.

Wasserman Schultz: Wrong Statements About Libya Doesn't Mean They Were False
Wasserman Schultz: Wrong Statements About Libya Doesn't Mean They Were False
Piers Morgan, CNN: The really important horse that should be flogged is the behavior and the statements of those who are in positions of responsibility and we would assume knowledge. And it's pretty unAmerican, pretty unAmerican to be putting up completely false statements before you know the facts, isn't it?

And it's pretty unAmerican, pretty unAmerican to be putting up completely false statements before you know the facts, isn't it?
Debbie Wasserman Schultz, DNC chair: Piers, it is not okay for you to be saying that the administration was putting out completely false statements. They put out information that they had at the time based on the intelligence that they were given --

PARDON ME?! DIDN'T THESE GUYS EXCORIATE GEORGE W. BUSH FOR WMD?! "YOU LIED" WAS THE CACOPHONY OF POLS AND MSM AND HE HAD THE ENTIRE WORLD INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY BEHIND HIM.

CNN and MSNBC Pundit Arrested for Vandalizing Anti-Muslim Ad In N.Y. Subway System
The New York Post reported Egyptian-American columnist Mona Eltahawy has been arrested for defacing an anti-Muslim ad in the New York subway system. The video shows her spraying pink paint on the ad while a supporter of the ad tries to block her. She's a journalist for censorship.
The New York Post reported Egyptian-American columnist Mona Eltahawy has been arrested for defacing an anti-Muslim ad in the New York subway system. The video shows her spraying pink paint on the ad while a supporter of the ad tries to block her. She's a journalist for censorship.
Eltahawy, a former Reuters correspondent, has been a recent favorite of CNN and MSNBC’s weekend morning shows to discuss Egypt, and she often smears together the Islamist “right wing” and the American right wing, as she did on Melissa Harris-Perry just 11 days ago [video and transcript below]:
SHES ON MELISSA HARRIS-PERRY ANOTHER WACKO ANCHOR ON CNN. I'M SORRY THE NETWORK SEEKS MORE DIVERSITY AND THEY'VE GOT. THE NETWORK THAT LOOKS MORE LIKE AMERICA... YEAH RIGHT!
Their ratings are in the toilet... and they still go with the same ole ... same ole.

UPDATED: Time, CNN Suspend Zakaria | Talk About Concealed Carry: Fareed Zakaria Plagiarized Paragraph on History of Gun Control
[UPDATED below page break: TIME magazine, CNN have suspended Zakaria.] When CNN host and Time editor-at-large Fareed Zakaria wrote a new piece called “The Case for Gun Control,” it ended with a bang: “So when people throw up their hands and say we can't do anything about guns, tell them they're being un-American--and unintelligent.”

Here’s something that suggests a lack of intelligence: plagiarism. Cam Edwards at NRANews.com suggested to me that Zakaria seemed to plagiarize a paragraph from an April article in The New Yorker magazine -- with a modicum word-usage changes and interjections (Texas!) in an attempt to paper it over. Here’s a paragraph from his Time piece:

CNN IS JUST MAKING UP POLL NUMBERS NOW
CNN IS JUST MAKING UP POLL NUMBERS NOW
Okay, I'm not certain they are literally making up poll results, but the poll CNN and British market research firm ORC International released Thursday afternoon is so screwy and raises so many questions that they might as well be doing it intentionally. If CNN is already resorting to these kinds of tricks before the conventions have even started, it's going to be a very long campaign.

If CNN is already resorting to these kinds of tricks before the conventions have even started, it's going to be a very long campaign.
First let me say, with less than three months to go in this campaign, can we please stop polling the political views of "adults", rather than "registered voters." We really should be moving soon to a "likely voter" screen, but I'll take "registered voters" for now. Knowing the political views of unregistered voters is worthless at the height of an election campaign and serves no real purpose but to give the Democrats an advantage. Nate Silver at the New York Times has estimated that polls of adults are biased towards Democrats by around 7 points.

I KNEW THAT! GRATEFUL FOR BREITBART DIGGING UNDERNEATH WHAT YOU ACTUALLY SEE AT CNN AND THE REST, MSNBC, NBC, ABC, CBS THEY'RE ALL A PART OF THE OBAMAGANDA AGENDA.
Even deeper than that the mainstream media is on the march to end Christianity!
You see, since the competition of HBO came on the scene the ratings have plummeted. The networks saw that every time HBO showed an R rated film in prime time their numbers have fallen.
Why the connection because whenever the networks tried doing the It Ain't TV thing, the phones lit up with those darn Christians.
They keep doing it on the cable networks they own not controlled by the FCC. You've heard some of the words there and nudity, homosexuality and all of it.
The government and Obama administration in it's secularizing of the nation gives the networks and Hollywood favor.
Notice how Hollywood has been THE great source for cash.
Christianity has been the moral foundation for its people for the law, the family and it is the foundation for civilization. It has been slipping away for more than a generation.
That CNN et al have been playing polling games with numbers is really not news to me just confirmation. What concerns me is that many Americans get their news from these Obamaganda sources.
Billy Graham... “very sharp and keen mentally” at age 93 – released a letter last month entitled, “My Heart Aches for America.” In the letter, Graham recalled how his late wife Ruth once expressed concerns about the “terrible downward spiral of our nation’s moral standards” – exclaiming, “If God doesn’t punish America, He’ll have to apologize to Sodom and Gomorrah.”
...Graham wondered what his wife would think of America today – noting millions of babies have since been aborted and “self-centered indulgence, pride and a lack of shame over sin are now emblems of the American lifestyle.”
...Graham wondered what his wife would think of America today – noting millions of babies have since been aborted and “self-centered indulgence, pride and a lack of shame over sin are now emblems of the American lifestyle.”
God is "punishing" the nation look around get your head out of the ground ... History too will judge the "free press" if America fails... but if America goes down history will continue the lies for the "State", god.
Still hopeful here.

CNN Sinks To 20-Year Weekly Primetime Low
CNN Sinks To 20-Year Weekly Primetime Low
Primetime is not good news for CNN lately. Amidst having its least watched month in primetime in two decades in May and the lowest rated month in total viewers in 10-years in April, CNN has now hit a 20-year all time primetime weekly low. The latest fall came during the week of July 30 to August 5, 2012.
Both primetime hosts Anderson Cooper and Piers Morgan were on full time duty that week, with no substitutes. The decline was among total viewers and the key 25-54 demo. During the week of July 30 to August 5, Piers Morgan Tonight at 9 PM averaged 314,000 viewers overall, with a mere 81,000 in the 25-54 demo, according to Nielsen.

I HAVE NOT SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT IN ALL THE YEARS I'VE BEEN IN BROADCASTING (47 YRS). HEADS DON'T ROLL, SHOWS DON'T GO OFF. AND ANCHORS OPENLY TELL YOU THEIR BIAS, THEIR SEXUAL LIFE AND THEY SINK DEEPER INTO THE ABYSS.
On New Years Eve CNN will start the year 2013 off with the same duo, Anderson Cooper 360 3.0 and Kathy Profane Griffin will bloviate words you can't say on TV. And 360 will laugh and lol and lol and lol.
CNN will begin with the tumble, the slide off the cliff of the Nielsen ratings for yet another year.

Howard Kurtz Warns CNN: Liberal Media Double Standard Apparent 'to Many'

Media critic Howard Kurtz warned CNN on Friday that "to many people" it looks like the media has a massive double standard in its campaign coverage of Mitt Romney and Barack Obama.
"[W]hen you combine all the stories, all the airtime, all the column inches, it looks to many people, I'll just say this bluntly, like the press is giving much more aggressive scrutiny to Romney and his background than it ever gave to Barack Obama," Kurtz told CNN's Wolf Blitzer.

Freedom of the press would never have happened if what the press is doing today was happening in the days of our founding fathers.
The definition of journal:
A : a record of current transactions; especially : a book of original entry in double-entry bookkeeping
B : an account of day-to-day events
C : a record of experiences, ideas, or reflections kept regularly for private use

Report what you hear and what you see just as it is for the public to decide.

CNN Sinks To 21-Year Primetime Ratings Low In Second Quarter
CNN Sinks To 21-Year Primetime Ratings Low In Second Quarter
Coming off its least-watched month in primetime in 20 years in May, CNN has taken another big ratings blow: The cable news network has registered to its lowest-rated quarter in primetime since 1991. For this year’s second quarter, CNN hit a low among total viewers and the key adults 25-54 demographic, with all primetime programs posting steep declines. The network averaged 446,000 total viewers and 129,000 in the 25-54 demo in primetime. Compared to last year’s second quarter, that’s down 35% and 41%, respectively.
Rival Fox News Channel, meanwhile, with 1.79 million primetime total viewers on average, was down 1% from its 2011 second-quarter numbers.
TONY DIGIROLAMO- ARE THEY EVER GOING TO MAKE ANY CHANGES OVER THERE. I WORK IN TELEVISION AND THE WAY IT WORKS IS IF N O B O D Y IS WATCHING THE SHOW IT CLOSES. BUT NOT AT CNN.
Early in my career I was there working at the launch of that pioneering news network. They were up big then and for a while but, boy you need to know when you've got to move on. And it is time for Wolf, Anderson, and Piers to go.

CNN’S CANDY CROWLEY GRILLS OBAMA ADVISER DAVID PLOUFFE: ‘NOT A PLAN’

On CNN with Candy Crowley, he encountered what was, for many, an unexpectedly no-nonsense interview. Though certainly not acrimonious, Plouffe was visibly frustrated by the end of it.
Crowley began: “Is the fact that the president is saying virtually the same thing that he said four years ago when he was campaigning, a recognition that he has not been able to achieve his goals?”
TONY DIGIROLAMO- THIS WAS GREAT CANDY CROWLEY IN THIS INTERVIEW WAS FOLLOWING UP ON THE REPORTER AT THE DAILY CALLER.
AND THE TWITTER #THINGSTOSHOUTATOBAMA, That is a great way that all of the press could shout at Obama like Candy said:
"What does the next four years look like?!"
“There’s three branches of government, you know how this works.”
“So, those are goals that he’s setting out, but it’s not a plan."
Where have you been Candy Crowley? Where have you been all this time.
One more #ThingstoshoutatObama "you are a political vigilante legislating from the White House"
