NEW YORK (AP) — CNN is remaking its morning lineup, returning Soledad O’Brien to a prominent role.
The network said Thursday that O’Brien will be host of a conversational ensemble show from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. None of the other ensemble members were announced.
Both of CNN’s cable rivals, Fox News Channel and MSNBC, have successful morning conversation shows with “Fox and Friends” and “Morning Joe.” O’Brien has been making documentaries for CNN since her last hitch on a morning show there.
Ashleigh Banfield and Zoraida Sambolin will be hosts of a show that airs from 5 a.m. to 7 a.m. Banfield once played a prominent role on MSNBC and Sambolin works in local news in Chicago.

Posted on November 3, 2011 at 3:44pmI don’t think these networks get it – American‘s are NOT going to tune in another show that is just going to kiss Obama’s a** – They sit there scratching their a** wondering why everything they try isn’t working-
American’s have opened their eyes and see Obama for who and what he is, and until the Media catches on – they are not going to get Obama’s message out, if no one is watching them.
and Enough with the CNN polls putting Obama ahead of any GOP candidate- your polling OBAMA/BIDEN vs ? / ? forget the Presidential candidate WAIT when they announce the VP – then let me see the poll.

Including Obrien now, CNN has the least charismatic hosts if a comparison is made with Fox. In fact, it is this lack of charisma that has lost CNN so many viewers in addition to CNN’s promotion of other no-talents like Al Sharpton and Roland Martin. Martin especially is one of the biggest dunces they have, although many on the network are close behind, including old Al.
I’d really like to see them crash altogether right along with PMSNBC.

Posted on November 3, 2011 at 4:37pmI enjoy Fox just as you do. But I watch cautiously because I have caught them trying to push an agenda in the past and didn’t like it. They need to stick to “ we report and you decide ”. Not quoting leftwing polls as fact to try to boost Romney.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Report Post »Excuse me but if they have Jesus Christ as Anchor, He would draw crowds just as He did wherever He went…His message was love, no condemnation of sinners, forgiveness, kindness, and He ate with the sinners while finding fault with those who thought they were better than others… the Pharisees and religious leaders who tried to keep the little people out of the Kingdom. The monarchy of congress has to stop and their court jesters (the press) will have to fail before they realize the “little people” are important to each other and to the success of the future. -
