suggest revision to early history
The main article History of CNN (1980–2003) was revised to include the significance of satellite capacity.
Suggest Early History be edited: "The Cable News Network was launched at 5:00 p.m. EST on Sunday June 1, 1980, transmitted using Satcom 1 satellite; a lawsuit secured the replacement transponder after the intended Satcom 3 was lost upon reaching orbit."69.72.27.242 (talk) 11:52, 9 May 2011 (UTC)
Crier & Company and CNN & Company should be listed as news debate shows that aired around lunch. I don't know precise years though I believe Crier & Company was the original name for the show. I recall the show definitely existed during the early period of the Clinton administration before the 1994 elections. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.180.147.58 (talk) 15:52, 24 November 2011 (UTC)
Conservative Bias?!?
This article says that CNN has been accused of promoting both conservative and liberal editorializing. I don't think that's correct. I believe that the vast majority of accusations against CNN have been from conservatives accusing it of liberal editorializing. CNN is the opposite of Fox News in this respect, Fox News is biased to the conservative side with all bias accusations coming from liberals, CNN the inverse biased to the left, though perhaps not as much as Fox News is to the right with most accusations coming from conservatives. --99.172.130.196 (talk) 13:43, 5 June 2011 (UTC)
Additions to the Controversy section
CNN being called Clinton News Network and Communist News Network have been common attacks that should be noted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dunnbrian9 (talk • contribs) 04:18, 22 June 2011 (UTC)
- Name calling, even by 'reputable' people, has no place in this article. Daydreamer302000 (talk) 11:07, 25 July 2011 (UTC)
Erin Burnett
Hi, I've been trying to find out some information about what's happening – AC will move to 8pm starting tomorrow, but Erin Burnett's new show isn't supposed to go on the air until September. So it is inaccurate to say that her show is on right now at the 7pm slot. Are they just going to do CNN Newsroom filler until they get her show online, or what? (They did this after cancelling Rick's Show but before Parker Spitzer came online.) I can't find anything online. I guess we'll find out tomorrow... hbdragon88 (talk) 03:42, 8 August 2011 (UTC)
- Confirmed that John King USA currently occupies the 7-8pm slot. I'll find out tomorrow what is in JKUSA's slot &Ndash; is TSR now three hours? (horror) hbdragon88 (talk) 05:12, 9 August 2011 (UTC)
I was looking at videos of 9/11 on youtube.com and I saw one where CNN is interviewing Jamie McIntyre on 9/11. I swear he says very adamantly that there was no plane that crashed into the pentagon. He was standing right there. It didn't look like a fake interview.Mylittlezach (talk) 22:42, 5 September 2011 (UTC)
CNN Censorship and technical problems - please add
This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request. |
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XwFrMVidWkQ Videos there. As far as it looks like an censorship. Not to blame CNN at all, because they made interesting interview with soldier supporting way out, and also not want to fight the Iran(maybe he even want to go to Somalia to remove problem of pirates), but they reported "technical problems", "saying they will go back". And... there was no ending of interview!. For me it's at least incident worth inserting in Wikipedia. Of course with Wikipedia quality standards - if there was official paper from CNN it is worth also saying about it, and also finding why they don't end this, even later.
- The Punitive articles of the Uniform Code of Military Justice include Article 92 (Failure to obey order or regulation), in this instance, Department of Defense Directive 1344.10, which prohibits political activities (including speeches and attending gatherings) while in unifom (out of uniform is fine). It appears only that CNN realized this before the serviceman, and stopped after already putting him on camera. But to include that, reliable sources (independent of CNN) would have to report on it to a significant level. Dru of Id (talk) 12:15, 9 January 2012 (UTC)
- Not done: Requests for edits to a semi-protected page should be specific (for example, "Please change X to Y") and supported by reliable sources. Mato (talk) 22:04, 11 January 2012 (UTC)
