CNN Launches Comedy News Show — Warn Colbert?
CNN Headline News isn't always full of laughs — at least not on purpose anyway — but they're taking a look at the Colbert Report's success and hopping in the ring. Not Just Another Cable News Show premieres April 5, according to the network. They say, "it's an entertaining way to recall some of the more memorable moments captured on video."
CNN's New iPhone App Allows Easy Customization, iReporting
CNN launched its new iPhone application this morning, featuring breaking news, video, personalization options, and, most notably, an interactive iReport feature.
The application allows you to search for and follow topics of interest to create a personalized "MyCNN" news feed — from breaking stories about your home state to gossip about your favorite celebrity. Tapping any news story from the main screen leads to two summary bullet points, the main story, and any relevant video.
CNN Ratings Falling — What's Your Favorite Cable Network?
So far in March, CNN has trailed Fox News, MSNBC, and CNN Headline News, showing that its no-bias, no-bull angle might not be paying off.
While CNN does get accused of having a more liberal tone than, say Fox News, the network's personalities usually show more restraint than those on MSNBC.
Perhaps cable news viewers are looking for a little more in-your-face coverage.
Former CNN Anchor Bobbie Battista Now on The Onion
“You watch the news today, and you don’t know what is real. When I was doing newscasts at CNN, people would come up to me and say, ‘That story can’t be real.’ Now the lines are really getting blurred.”
— Former CNN news anchor Bobbie Battista, now an anchor on the satirical news site The Onion, doing her part to blur the lines between real and fake news even further. Although hesitant at first to accept the job at The Onion for fear that her former CNN colleagues would think less of her, Battista nevertheless doesn't see it as a step down.

87% of Fox Viewers for McCain: News Watchers Discriminate?
Though media may or may not be biased (depending on your perception of it) viewers it seems might be. In a recent Rasmussen poll, the cable network of choice was a big indicator of how a viewer plans to vote in November.
The network that was most closely tied to a candidate?
Last Night's CNN Hologram Technology: Freaky and Amazing
During last night's election coverage, I found myself bouncing around from high-def channel to high-def channel, seeing what ABC, CNN, Fox, and MSNBC had to offer. I already knew that CNN correspondent John King would be showcasing election news from the high-tech Multi-Touch Collaboration Wall, but I had no idea CNN would take their techiness to the next level.
Were you as shocked as I was when they showed correspondent Jessica Yellin in "hollographic 3D form?"
Lighten Up: When the News Goes Bad
Nope, not bad news, just terribly, terribly wrong. Hey, it's live — anything could happen. Check out this round up of crazy news outtakes, that um, made it right on the air.How to Pick Which Election Coverage to Tune Into on Tuesday
With less than a week left until election night it's time to start making plans — not what election parties or events you're attending, this is a much, much more important decision— who you're spending the evening with, teevees-wise. The media has been as important this campaign as the candidates — and since McCain is saying they've all been fooled as to the real state of the race, I can't wait to see the results. I know who I'm watching, I've been so CNN-loyal the whole campaign, the thought of abandoning my Wolf wouldn't happen by a hair of his chinny-chin-chin.
