CNN is once again revamping their morning programming, hoping that someone might notice and actually watch their channel.
This is unlikely. CNN’s problem goes far beyond deciding which Democratic activists will host their morning shows. Their problem is the lack of trust on the part of viewers who know they have been burned too many times.
The network has changed leaders twice in the last two years and every time someone wants to make real change at the network, the staff rebels and eliminates them.

CNN revamps morning programming with latest change
CNN is making major changes to its weekday morning programming as part of the cable news giant’s latest revamp.
“CNN This Morning,” the network’s current morning show hosted by Poppy Harlow and Phil Mattingly, will be canceled as the network talks with the two hosts about new roles at the company.
Political pundit and host Kasie Hunt will host an additional morning hour, broadcasting from 5 to 7 starting later this month.
At 7 a.m., a new version of “CNN News Central” will be hosted by John Berman, Kate Bolduan and Sara Sidner, until 10 a.m.
Former White House correspondent Jim Acosta will host a show at 10 a.m., and at 11 a.m. he will host “The Bulletin with Pamela Brown,” which will launch in the spring, once Brown returns from parental leave.
The big change to CNN’s morning programming marks the most radical change implemented by new CEO Mark Thompson, who took the helm of the company in August.
This won’t make any difference.

CNN doesn’t understand what their real problems are, but it’s crystal clear to everyone else.
