Oh the irony is so thick it hurts…  The only people who showed up for the entire event were the CNN seat anchors: Anderson Cooper, Piers Morgan, Wolf Blitzer and Christiane Amanpour… LOL… ambling around talking to eachother.

Last Friday night, CNN boss Jeff Zucker threw a swanky party at Langham hotel’s pool deck in Pasadena to woo the Television Critics Association.

The only problem: nobody showed up. Thanks at least in part to the conflict with the Golden Globes, the pool party was largely empty except for hosts Anderson Cooper, Piers Morgan, Wolf Blitzer, and Christiane Amanpour, who were, according to the Hollywood Reporter, “left to mingle with one another.”

CNN has been in a state of chaos since before Zucker’s takeover. His takeover has accelerated the network’s move from hard news to softer news, with Zucker proclaiming, “We’re all regurgitating the same information. I want people to say, ‘You know what? That was interesting. I hadn’t thought of that.’ The goal for the next six months, is that we need more shows and less newscasts.”

On Friday, Zucker said that the Republican Party is run by Fox News, explaining, “We happen to be in the news business as opposed to some other ‘fair and balanced’ news network.” He also ripped into MSNBC: “When you watch those channels you only hear what you want to hear – and you miss the story.”

CNN’s ratings have collapsed, losing 48 percent of their viewers between November 2012 and November 2013. In the 25 to 54 age demographic, CNN lost 59 percent of its viewers. (read more)
