    Love most of CNN, but, the weekend version of New Day is unwatchable. Christie Paul may be a nice lady, but she is not a skilled interviewer and is horrible. There are so many other options at cnn to replace her with. Thanks goodness that MSNBC has started a weekend morning program.

      Jake, you are catching the "umm" virus as shown in your broadcast with the inauguration, please be aware this is an annoying habit and very "bush league" and not typical in your presentations.

    Erin Burnett should be elevated. She could replace either Chris Cuomo or Don Lemon. Erin’s calm and less self-centered style would provide a much needed balance to long monologs and the highly opinionated and self-righteous preaching by Cuomo and Lemon.

    Erin Burnett Outfront has been my favorite show for years ! I wish CNN would give her more recognition for her work. She’s the only woman on the network who holds down a whole hour by herself and does a damn great job at it. Keep it up Erin!

    I use to watch CNN all the time. Since the 2016 election and Trump's last 3 and a half years in office all they report about is Trump. What got me the most upset was how time and time again the report a "BOMBSHELL" only to turn out as a dud. Remember the tale our parents taught us about the boy who cried wolcf? CNN has actually surpassed that old tale. You have lost me CNN, you've burnt me too many times now. Bye!

    If it wasn't for airports...the ratings wouldn't be half of the number they are posting. CNN is bleeding to death whether they admit it or not. The building in Atlanta is for sale and they laid off most of the staff. It is a damned shame as to what became of a once proud network back when Ted ran it.

    I frequently jump from Fox back to CNN to see what other stations are saying. I never last longer than 15 minutes. Has this station become a personal stage for Dom Lemon and Andrew Cuomo to bash Trump. What happened to the "This is CNN" of the Gulf War I used to watch.

      Very very true, CNN is unwatchable.

    For the life of me, I can not comprehend how they still have an audience at all. This network, and especially that hate-monger Lemon, have got to GO!!

    A few years ago CNN was more honest with their reporting. Now they're almost as bad as the radically left disinformation dungeon MSNBC. They don't report real news, they show certain parts of a story and try and persuade viewers.

      Echo chambers can be very safe spaces,
      How in the world is CNN at the ratings top? I'm convinced the FNC viewers have switched CNN because we want to see the double standard of hypocrisy with our very own eyes. I don't know how people can take Don Le'Moan serious. He uses more adjectives in his monologs than should be allowed.

      As for the people that do watch CNN or MSDNC, they are the reason we still have instructions on shampoo bottles, or velcro shoes. Just sayin...

    Is Trump an alien or a android? Has anybody EVER seen this guy yawn? How does he go on with little to no sleep, and his diet of junk food and being overweight? Yet his doctor Gives him a glaring clean bill of health.
