Mark Whitaker is managing editor of the CNN news organization and is making changes at cNN. News discussion will include more in-depth analysis and background information. cNN is attempting to change the competitive environment that it wants to operate in.
CNN's Fareed Zakaria said that the network he works for shouldn't try to get viewers of Fox News to watch it—because they won't.
Zakaria spoke to NPR correspondent David Folkenflik on Friday for a profile of CNN and its relatively new managing editor, Mark Whitaker. The piece emphasizes Whitaker's attempts to bring more reportorial depth to the network, and Zakaria said that the efforts are working. "CNN is getting smarter, and you can feel it in the stories," Zakaria said. "You can feel it in the depth with which they're covered, the kinds of people in terms of guests who are brought on air, the ways in which issues are discussed." He then said that CNN shouldn't even be trying to compete with Fox News. "The people who watch Fox are not going to watch CNN. Let's be honest," Zakaria said. "Our competitors should properly be The New York Times, the BBC and NPR." Good on CNN http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/07/03/fareed-zakaria-fox-news-v_n_889455.html |

I understand how you really, really, really want to get back at us for all the mean things we've said about the you and your icons and your news source. But just parroting it all back at us doesn't do the job. You even use the exact same language. It just doesn't score any points. |

Wow so they just finally admitted what we have known all along, they are on the media arm of the DNC. that, and admitted they are giving up against fox, because they can't compete... clearly fox has the better news and ratings, so cnn will start working on the loony left side now...shows like "the tofu corner" and "Starbucks Daily" will highlight their day. Other shows will be "Marthaland", where Martha Stewart will interview people like the dixe chicks, Ellen DeGeneres, the girls from the view(not Elisabeth Hasselbeck); Another thing they are planning is a televised "gay twister" show, with Rosie O'Donnell and Perez Hilton as the hosts... |

Let's debate the virtue of real investigative journalism on TV
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aFQFB5YpDZE 
In January 2005, CNN announced that it was cancelling Crossfire and that it would not be renewing Carlson's contract. Carlson claimed it was he who had chosen to leave, to take a job at MSNBC.[4] In the news release containing the announcement, CNN CEO Jonathan Klein indicated that he wanted to change the tone of shows on the network, and in interviews said he sympathised with Jon Stewart's criticisms of Crossfire.[5] The last episode aired on June 3, 2005 and the Crossfire pundits began appearing on Inside Politics the following Monday before relocating to that show's successor, The Situation Room. However, the GWU Crossfire set remained in use for the CNN weekend series On The Story, which had an audience interaction format.

I used to enjoy Fareed Zakaria when he was on Public Broadcasting. I don't get CNN, so I don't know how that used to be. Better and more in-depth coverage is what Public broadcasting is famous for. Even willing to carry Conservative-leaning shows like McLaughlin and, for that matter Fareed Zakaria. It's good to know that they will be entering that realm instead of trying to compete with the children's network. |
