You gotta feel for CNN, for month you read that their ratings continue to sink against both FOXNews, MSNBC and even their own Headline News, then you find out that Sanjay Gupta doesn’t get the Surgeon General job, the Phillies have overtaken the Braves for NL East Supremacy and then the flag-ship station lose their only big name when Lou Dobbs for a venture which is probably called Space2.com.
The battle-lines for cable-news supremacy have made it very obvious that CNN is way too happy to hang out in the Olympia Snow territory and with loss of any opinionated hosts; it’s so obvious that they have become completely lame and risk adverse.
Just look at the landscape, they replaced Dobbs with John Roberts who is as controversial as double ply toilet paper and have built their entire operation around Anderson Cooper who is so pretty he makes most women jealous.
It’s been suggested that CNN continues to focus on their web presence which is more popular but even this has completely vanilla content.
Just look at CNN.com and they feature an opinion piece entitled “Violence based on hate has to stop” by Ruben Navarrette Jr. not only does is piece about as cutting edge as a marble but the author suffers from the bad affliction of the horrible goatee which heads the TOR list of horrible male accessories up there with the cell-phone belt clip and the big dome hat.
The next thing you will see is Ruben Navarrette author an article entitled “After further review Adolph Hitler was a bad guy”.
