On: WTF, CNN?

[ugh]

That’s what happens when you have to fill 24 hours with news. The format just doesn’t make any sense.

[MichaelSalib → ugh]

But CNN-International also has to fill 24 hours and is much much better.

[adelevie → ugh]

The format does make sense. Let someone like Arianna Huffington or the Memeorandum people curate CNN.

[pavel_lishin → ugh]

You're saying that there's not enough interesting stuff going on in the world to fill up 24 hours?

[ugh → pavel_lishin]

Interesting for whom? TV is linear, that works great for short summaries of the most important news of the day, not so great for everything else.

[cdr → pavel_lishin]

Not interesting enough to your average American cable viewer, no.

[nazgulnarsil → ugh]

especially considering all they could do with the empty time. remember the news hour? does a show like that exist anymore?
