NEW YORK – CNN chief Jeff Zucker stressed in a year-end memo to staff that more changes are coming to the network in 2014.
“If you thought we did a lot in 2013, wait until you see 2014,” Zucker wrote in a memo published by Deadline Hollywood. “Real change that transforms an organization doesn’t happen overnight. I have talked a lot about broadening the definition of news. You have seen the start of that, especially at CNN, where we have begun to introduce new series, documentaries and films to augment our best-in-class breaking news coverage.” (more…)

Some people wonder why CNN is in such a poor state of viewership. In this clip from Anderson Cooper you can see exactly why the ratings of the media outlet are plummeting with exponential severity.
Most people know that Anderson Cooper is the son of fashion icon Gloria Vanderbilt, but look at this panel and you can understand why viewers tune out. Anderson’s panel includes gay activist and extremist Dan Savage, and gay activist and media reporter Andrew Sullivan. To them this is just a typical coffee table conversation – but when you think about it broadcast into peoples homes, well, you decide:

Statistically speaking something (an event of mass casualty) of large significance is due to happen in the U.S. within the next 10 to 20 days.
If you define Progressive Failing as the exposure of collapsing narratives, and then rate liberal risk from headlines which reflect that collapse, on a scale of 1 to 5 (where 5 is the most damaging to them) you are able to statistically quantify “social tone”.
When the social tone (of anti-liberalism) rating is high, meaning liberalism as an ideology is receiving many negative discussions, statistically, and historically, there is a general likelihood (a pattern) that something of mass casualty takes place. (more…)

NEW YORK –  Hundreds of teenagers stormed and trashed a Brooklyn mall in a wild flash mob that forced the shopping center to close its doors during day-after Christmas sales, sources said on Friday.

More than 400 crazed teens grabbed and smashed jars of candy, stole cheap items such as baby balloons and beat up security guards at Kings Plaza Shopping Center in Mill Basin between 5 p.m. and 7 p.m., merchants said.
A violent game of “Knockout” also broke out on the upper level of the mall — and one teen may have been carrying a gun, sources said.
The teens used social media to plan the mass looting, vowing to put the mall “on tilt” – or to raid it, according to posts on Facebook and Twitter.
Clerks, who scrambled to close up their shops, said they were terrified. (more…)

The A&E Statement:
As a global media content company, A+E Networks’ core values are centered around creativity, inclusion and mutual respect. We believe it is a privilege for our brands to be invited into people’s home and we operate with a strong sense of integrity and deep commitment to these principles.
That is why we reacted so quickly and strongly to a recent interview with Phil Robertson. While Phil’s comments made in the interview reflect his personal views based on his own beliefs, and his own personal journey, he and his family have publicly stated they regret the “coarse language” he used and the mis-interpretation of his core beliefs based only on the article. He also made it clear he would “never incite or encourage hate.” We at A+E Networks expressed our disappointment with his statements in the article, and reiterate that they are not views we hold.

Setting aside the agenda bias inherent in this article (last line) it just once again solidifies what direction the Republican Establishment choose to take.   The cocktail party is going to relentlessly work to destroy anyone who would loosen the ever desperate, yet dying, grip on their ideological power. 

Before we can destroy the anti-freedom liberalist contingents we must first rid ourselves of the toxic infection that remains the Republican Party Decepticons.  It begins with getting rid of Mitch McConnell – Support the Tea Party.

(Via Ballot Box) The Chamber of Commerce is planning to spend at least $50 million on a campaign to boost establishment Republicans in primaries against Tea Party challengers, according to The Wall Street Journal.

The group’s broader aim is to help the GOP win Senate control and block Tea Party Republican candidates who might lose otherwise winnable seats to Democrats.

“Our No. 1 focus is to make sure, when it comes to the Senate, that we have no loser candidates,” Chamber political strategist Scott Reed tells the Journal. “That will be our mantra: No fools on our ticket.” (more…)
