ABOLISH CNN, Let CNN International do the work!!! |
|
I am watching CNN International coverage of real news from Lebanon and Haifa...I know I am not dreaming this, but I promise you, even the folks we hear from reported shit DIFFERENTLY, when they are reporting to international viewers, they are more honest, descriptive, and "newsy." When they report to domestic audiences, they are more "parental" in their delivery, and they are big time more one sided cheerleaders.
CNN international has foreign reporters and more Americans who do not live in the US, therefore, have more objective views on things.
ABOLISH WOLF and Kyra's network NOW...Get rid of all the clowns in the AM, leave Lou Dobbs, the Larry King show, and of course we want to hear from Anderson Cooper...All others need to go.
I guarantee you, CNN/Time will double earnings within one year.

3. I personally prefer Naked News |

Funny thing is that NN actually has better coverage than most of CNN.

13. I'm not going to post a link since Naked News obviously contains nudity. |
|
But you can view it over the internet (hint: google is your friend). You can view a portion of it for free but it is a paysite. I also believe its on pay-per-view in Canadia and some other places.

4. Its the only one I watch |
|
CNNI is way better than regular CNN in its coverage. Although I'd probably trade it in for BBC 24 hour news station.

5. it is quite astonishing isn't it? |
|
It is like there is CNNI then The Cartoon News Network! I have noticed Many MANY times the subdued reporting on the exact topic from the same reporter on CNN and the direct opposite on CNNI. Can they be any more transparent?

6. CNNi treats viewers like adults, unlike CNN |
|
The whole tone of CNNi seems more respectful of the viewer's intelligence. They don't have the hype, and the chattiness and condescending and pandering tone of their domestic sibling.
(Although it does seem like the dopoey aspects of CNN are beginning to seep in more.)
I wish the honchos at domestic CNN would recognize that if they treated viewers like intelligent adults,instead of adolescents, they could provide a real alternative to Fox and MSNBC that would likely also bolster their ratiungs and business.

7. Better yet, support alternative TV broadcasting like LINK TV and FSTV |
|
It would take a massive grassroots effort to fund them enough to the point where they could afford to send correspondents into the field for live reporting. But it would be the type of in-depth and balanced news reporting American television has never seen. The more prominent they would become in the American media market, the more CNN and FOX would be seen as totally irrelevant by comparison.

8. I used to get it and now I don't. Sometimes regular CNN |
|
cuts to CNNI late at night or on holiday weekends but that's about it. It really is a different news channel compared to our domestic one isn't it?

9. News co-ops should be established to oppose corporate news outlets |
|
I like the idea that iwtnews.com is trying to move upon. "No corporate dollars. No government funding. No commercials. No strings." http://www.iwtnews.com/
