Faux News figured this out long ago, and they have succeeded because of it:
A very plain and simple rule.
Hi-gloss, network level producers and managers can't adapt to the rough and tumble cable news.
I've seen them come and go, and with few exceptions, they don't get the pace, the demands, the grind or the attitude of (successful) cable news.
CNN keeps hiring the old network dogs who last succeeded on the Today show in a three broadcast channel universe in the 1980's, where just about anything you put up on the screen drew numbers.
Cranking out winning cable news is an entirely different skill set, and these guys don't have it.
Faux News is smart enough to develop or train crack senior producers.
CNN thinks they lie lurking in the ranks of the network newsmagazine execs.
And if JK has so much faith in these veterans of prime time network news, he may want to ask himself why the nets are downsizing, cancelling and losing the audience of these programs.
Another bad call. |

Klein is implementating so many changes at CNN, I think he is in danger of alienating the 7 viewers still watching. Someone might want to pull the rains in on him a little.
