It may be time for CNN to change formats


Silvio Canto, Jr.  "Who remembers Headline News?  It used to be very popular years ago.  As I recall, it was a 30-minute news segment 24 hours a day.
"My suggestion is that CNN should revive that format and drop the opinion shows.  Why?  Because no one is watching its current lineup.
"This is a remarkable story about viewership at CNN:
Tucker Carlson's Fox News show earned more viewers last week than all of CNN's primetime line up combined, reports the Daily Wire's Ryan Saavedra.
This has to be a bitter pill for CNN.  For years now the far-left network has done everything in its power to bring Carlson down. 
By any measure, CNN has conducted what can only be described as a straight up, deliberate demonization campaign.

CNN has also participated in the effort to have Carlson blacklisted by advertisers due to his right-of-center political beliefs.  Since the fake news outlet cannot beat Carlson in the ratings, it is hoping to drive him off the air through McCarthyism.
"I guess it's Tucker: 1 and CNN: a big zero!
"Let me disclose that I don't get to watch Tucker that often because of other commitments.  I do catch some of his interviews on the website, and he's always struck me as a pretty serious guy.
"These numbers are more about CNN than Tucker.  Sadly, CNN has gone off the rail trying to compete with MSNBC for the leadership of the Trump Derangement Syndrome Club.
"Change format or die.  It's about that simple for CNN."

Lara Logan calls out CNN anchors Don Lemon and Chris Cuomo: 'Are these opinion shows or news programs?'  "Former CBS News journalist Lara Logan has taken aim at two CNN primetime hosts. Logan, a former “60 Minutes” reporter, criticized Don Lemon and Chris Cuomo for not clearly stating whether they are journalists or “opinion hosts.” “My concern as a journalist is trying to figure out what the facts are and trying to figure out what people are actually representing and what they’re trying to do in the election,” Logan said during “Hannity” on Wednesday night. “As journalists, it seems to me, our job is to do that." . . .
