JNN HOME ANIME CNN POLITICS ... ABOUT CNN Comments 23: CNN International Extra Editor's Note: It was brought to my attention that the new "World Sport" host on CNNI is actually Don Riddell not "Don Rendall" or "Don Randell" as previously reported. JNN has corrected the body copy below. JNN regrets this error. (10.15.2002) This is an extra edition of JNN: CNN comments devoted to CNN International. Been getting a flood of information on CNN/US' sister network lately. I thought it would be a good time to get them out to you now rather than the end of the month. Enjoy! By Svetlozar Aleksiev and Glen Burns The Daily Show with Jon Stewart: Global Edition
"The Daily Show" is REALLY funny. When I first read about its launch on CNN International, I could not remember who Jon Stewart was. Several years ago my cable operator carried a Norwegian channel (I cannot recall its name) that aired a lot of U.S. TV shows in English with Norwegian subtitles. I remember watching "The Daily Show" and I believe CNNI made a good, in fact, excellent, addition to its programming. The first show was too short, indeed - a lot of commercials. However, I think the second was a bit longer. They were both great! Germany Decides: Election Day Coverage
The day after "The Daily Show" came the German elections. CNN had amassed a huge team of journalists - Jonathan Mann, Chris Burns, Robin Oakley, Suzanne Kelly, Richard Quest (he anchored from Berlin Monday's BizNews) and Stephanie Halasz. However, one can honestly say that "Germany Decides 2002" - CNN International's election coverage - was an absolute failure. Oops, "absolute failure" is too strong, but surely that's what CNNI's management thought it was. | |
