This meant the news stories became broader and less specific to make them more palatable, but often less understandable, to a wide audience tuning in at different time zones across the U.S.<\/p>\n<p>The only focus on news was when there was a national tragedy: an assassination, an economic crash, an election, a terrorist attack, and increasingly, more political activity in Congress, the courts, and the executive branch.<\/p>\n<p>This posed a challenge to new broadcast executives: How can they keep viewers tuned for more than a few hours daily? Could they do it through charismatic news personalities and different formats while keeping production, talent costs, and risk levels down?<\/p>\n<p> <!-- A generated by theme --> <\/p>\n<p><span class=\"td-adspot-title\">SPONSORED<\/span><noscript id=\"td-ad-placeholder\"\/><\/p>\n<p> <!-- end A --> <\/p>\n<h3><strong>Cable News Is Still Looking For A Profitable Format<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Since 1980, <a href=\"https:\/\/theprogressiveinvestor.org\/whats-wrong-with-cable-tv-news\/\">cable news has tried many formats<\/a> to keep and attract an audience. However, today we see that the major cable networks (CNN, MSNBC, and FOX) have still not found a viable format, aside from primarily relying on pushing a political perspective that will wax and wane as presidential administrations change.<\/p>\n<p>This has resulted in significant changes at <a href=\"https:\/\/theprogressiveinvestor.org\/msnbc-fails-in-its-talk-television-format-as-the-network-is-still-floundering\/\">MSNBC<\/a> and CNN, but the changes have not solved the problem.<\/p>\n<p>The problem is that these national cable news formats overlook the essence of journalism:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Presenting the news<\/li>\n<li>Providing the needed information that puts the news in perspective<\/li>\n<li>Interpreting the news<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This is why viewers watching the news are often confused.\u00a0 Unlike the traditional, tried-and-proven newspaper format, cable news shows usually do not have a lead story, followed by lesser news that is still pertinent to the audience.\u00a0 Or, if they do, the network\u2019s focus is on that lead story.\u00a0 Everything else that happens in the country that affects the national audience is neglected and never covered.<\/p>\n<p>Viewers watching national cable networks are confused and fed news stories simply because the network correspondent has already prepared the story for the day. This forces the network to use the correspondent\u2019s video report even if it is unimportant or has already been covered by the same network many times.<\/p>\n<p>This is good for the network since it keeps costs down (they already have the video), but it does not benefit viewers and makes for repetitive broadcasts.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Cable Viewers Should Get Smart<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>However, cable viewers should not despair. Good citizens must be informed, and there are great choices for getting better news reports.<\/p>\n<p>Since the networks are loath to change their formats or fire or re-assign their on-air newsreaders, viewers can get more and better news by following these suggestions.<\/p>\n<p>First, watching or listening to the news for over two hours daily wastes time.<\/p>\n<p>You will not be better informed. Instead, you will hear the same news stories repeated for a few days, watch panel discussions with forgettable participants, and watch news announcers who either read Teleprompters or lack the expertise to conduct an interview.<\/p>\n<p>Cable news has also been hit by low-quality, less professional competition from social media, podcasters, right-wing radio haters, and even TikTok. Navigating through this social media\/podcast swamp is Herculean since it changes daily, and the turnover is too high.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s why it pays to watch the best-informed news casters with solid professional news staff who can explain issues as they affect average Americans. This will save time and reduce anxiety about watching the news.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some modest suggestions to optimize your time by watching quality cable news and radio for less than two hours daily.\u00a0 (Note: This summary excludes podcasts and social media since their quality is often uneven and constantly changing.)<\/p>\n<h4><strong>General Cable News<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><strong>MSNBC<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>On MSNBC<strong>, <\/strong>the most professional anchors are Ali Velshi and Lawrence O\u2019Donnell on political and international news, and Stephanie Ruhl on economic issues.\u00a0 MSNBC\u2019s early morning and late-evening shows (Morning Joe and Lawrence O\u2019Donnell) are much better than others in the network\u2019s programming day. Morning Joe\u2019s success is tied to its talented round table participants, and serious journalism veterans (Willie Geist, Mike Barnicle, and <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-20798\" src=\"https:\/\/theprogressiveinvestor.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Morning-Joe.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"185\" height=\"175\" srcset=\"https:\/\/theprogressiveinvestor.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Morning-Joe.jpeg 185w, https:\/\/theprogressiveinvestor.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Morning-Joe-150x142.jpeg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 185px) 100vw, 185px\"\/> Jonathan Lemire), who ask pertinent questions and who, along with Mika Brzezinski, keep the long-winded Joe Scarborough in check. The show is unusual because it includes news about cultural events (Broadway shows and theater) and sports. This enhances the coverage and makes it more interesting.<\/p>\n<p>While popular, Rachel Maddow, who developed a storytelling or \u201ctalk television essay format for news, \u201ctries to be informative but quickly becomes repetitive. Her assignment of doing a multi-hour show is too much to ask.\u00a0 Tenured professors cannot deliver a coherent lecture and remain fresh on a topic they have studied for years.\u00a0 Many other MSNBC news readers (Jen Psaki, Nicole Wallace, Katie Tur, and Ari Melber) host shows from 12:00 pm EST to 6:00 p.m. EST that repeat the news or offer endless analysis and conjecture, often to bored guest experts who have answered the same questions many times over. This accounts for <a href=\"https:\/\/theprogressiveinvestor.org\/msnbc-fails-in-its-talk-television-format-as-the-network-is-still-floundering\/#google_vignette\">MSNBC\u2019s recent programming<\/a> and on-air personnel changes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>CNN<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>CNN does not have a general news show like MSNBC\u2019s Morning Joe. Instead, it relies on a general news presentation that mixes national and international news.\u00a0 CNN\u2019s website says, \u201cCNN News Central is the core hub of the network\u2019s best-in-class newsgathering operation during the day, bringing stories to viewers in real-time while offering perspective and context to key issues.\u201d\u00a0 This may be true, but it is not designed for people who value their time.\u00a0 That\u2019s why the news announcers always plead for viewers to \u201cstay tuned for breaking news\u201d even when there is nothing new to report.\u00a0 This is an old, cheap trick to retain viewers for the next time slot.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Watch Local News<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Local news broadcasts from the networks (CNN, NBC, FOX) have remained with the old broadcast news formats, and this works best in their time slots, which are often 30- to 60-minute long. These broadcasts have a good mix of national and local news. Local NPR\u00a0 radio stations also have a great mix of regional and national news and are organized into 30\u2014and 60-minute blocks.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Financial \u00a0News<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The best choices for general economic news (excluding stock and trading tips) are Bloomberg Radio and cable TV.\u00a0 Bloomberg has quality financial experts and top producers, and its guests are all qualified and have been identified with national investment and economic firms. Bloomberg is not only for financial experts. Average Americans who want a better education about economic news should not be intimidated by the quality discussions and the jargon. \u00a0Over time, they will get an excellent education about the markets and financial news from professionals who connect the dots between a Trump policy and how it will affect their pocketbooks and the economy.<\/p>\n<p>CNBC is also good for traders and active investors who get many investing opinions from guests. However, these guests\u2019 experience and educational quality vary widely, as do their recommendations. It is worth noting that the turnover rate among active day traders is about 80% per year, so average people who want to quit their jobs to become day traders or invest in crypto (the biggest Ponzi scheme of the 20<sup>th<\/sup> Century) should reconsider their actions.<\/p>\n<p><strong>International News<\/strong><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_20797\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-20797\" style=\"width: 201px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-20797 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/theprogressiveinvestor.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/John-Sackur-BBC-201x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"201\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/theprogressiveinvestor.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/John-Sackur-BBC-201x300.jpg 201w, https:\/\/theprogressiveinvestor.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/John-Sackur-BBC-150x224.jpg 150w, https:\/\/theprogressiveinvestor.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/John-Sackur-BBC.jpg 281w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 201px) 100vw, 201px\"\/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-20797\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">John Sakur, BBC<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>By far, the best international reporting is done by the BBC. This is because the British have been a global power since the 1600s, so they know about politics and economics in the Middle East, Asia, Africa, and all of their former colonies.\u00a0 The BBC is state-run, so it has a long history and tradition. It may be cultural, but its reporters do not accept evasive or fabricated answers from interviewers. American journalists should listen to the BBC \u00a0show \u201cHard Talk\u201d to hear its host, Stephen Sackur, conduct an actual interview that holds the interviewee accountable for what they say.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, too many American journalists have become either deaf to the non-answers or lies that most Republican politicians provide. Yet, they get away with lying to the American people, even if they fool the interviewer.\u00a0 This is why lying has become so common in political interviews.\u00a0 It is also a reason why journalists are held in low esteem.\u00a0 After all, how serious can the public consider you if politicians can lie to your face, and you look at your shoes?\u00a0 \u00a0Don\u2019t become a reporter if you are non-judgmental, uninformed, and timid.<\/p>\n<p>CNN\u2019s Farid Zacharia and Christiane Amanpour also have timely foreign policy news shows.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Podcasters, Social Media <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This is an ever-changing scene, but most podcasts offer a political perspective and are not news shows.\u00a0 News shows require a large staff and budget, so that excludes podcasters.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p> <!-- A generated by theme --> <\/p>\n<p><span class=\"td-adspot-title\">SPONSORED<\/span><noscript id=\"td-ad-placeholder\"\/><\/p>\n<p> <!-- end A --> <\/p><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SPONSORED When Ted Turner introduced 24-hour cable news on CNN in 1980, he reshaped the news journalism business in ways that made it less comprehensible to average viewers.
