I am not saying that it is a bad thing or that we will soon being seeing Ryan Seacrest on CNN, but I was just wondering if anyone else feels the same way. Considering that these networks survives on getting sponsors good ratings are essential, and you wouldn't get too many viewers by just reporting no nonsense serious news 24/7, so the shift in style is understandable. But it did feel quite funny the other day switching over from E! channel to watch CNN. It sometimes feels as though I didn't switch channel at all. It really feels like CNN has made a conscious decision to move to a more "glossy" feel. From the choice of programs, the choice of anchors and news reporters, to the way they are now more heavily made up (I am sure they have the same stylist team as the E Channel).
Anyways I am off to watch E....err....I mean CNN.
