2. The stupid thing about this, the ratings were not good. Maybe good from their most recent

ratings but not good in the general sense of where they used to be and it will only last for one night.

6. Exactly

I'm sure there were a lot of people who tuned in just to see the circus that was the town hall, but that doesn't mean they will watch CNN again. If anything, a lot of viewers were probably so turned off by the program, they may be less likely to watch CNN.

And just because everyone is talking about the town hall doesn't mean it benefits CNN.

3. "making news"

I always thought a news network was supposed to report the news.
To hell with cnn.

7. Starting to see why Olbermann calls Licht a "paste eater"

Nothing Licht has done so far has demonstrated to me that he’s in on some secret the rest of us aren’t. And I’m some rando on the Internet, I can’t imagine how long-standing employees of the network must feel.
