Message: let's see..this is at least the fourth time some cnn exec has stated "we're going to make our morning show the spot for serious news viewers" then they prove in about 30 seconds that it is total BS when the continue to focus on jackson trials and missing blondes. when will folks learn....the audience is way too smart for the bull now. if you say you are going to do "serious news" and you don't do it, you confuse and lose viewers. same thing in prime time. cnn is serious news, then bring in old fashioned news magazine producers as execs. who is kidding who? you're not going to do "serious news" in the evenings either. more tear jerker survivor stories and freak shows with a break for hard news when its a huge story. i'll bet anyone we won't see an America watch piece on North Korea in prime time.
