CNN's pivot to less news-talk and more documentary series in prime time got off to a mixed start with the debut of "Chicagoland" Thursday night.

In an effort to improve its last-place prime-time lineup, CNN is canceling Piers Morgan's nightly talk show.

In an effort clearly meant to defend himself, Piers Morgan invited Janet Mock back to discuss the controversy over their first interview.

Documentaries were supposed to be a dying genre -- and living proof that we were becoming dumber as a nation.

And, man, is the actual journalism he's been doing at CNN this week needed now in the wake of the George Zimmerman verdict as MSNBC and Fox sink deeper into their ideological swamps.

George Zimmerman was found not guilty in the death of Trayvon Martin at 10 p.m. Saturday, and it was a network news operation, ABC, not any of the all-news cable channels, that had the best initial coverage.

Former Washington Post media critic and Daily Beast Washington bureau chief Howie Kurtz is joining Fox News.

A full news cycle after Alex Jones' CNN meltdown, the conservative radio show host -- dubbed the most paranoid man in America -- is still trending. David Bowie's new single is rising up the digital charts and a number of tech stories are gaining traction, fueled by the CES in Las Vegas.

Remember all the big, high-sounding media talk right after the massacre at Sandy Hook about how maybe now we will have a "national dialogue" about guns?

CNN announced Thursday morning that Jeff Zucker is its new president worldwide.

No one confirms 'incredible' news about New York Stock Exchange before airing it.

With Gary Tuchman in Haiti and Anderson Cooper on the ground in New Orleans, no one covered Isaac better that CNN. By Wednesday morning, the Atlanta-base news channel was the only place to be for coverage of the storm.

Forget the broadcast networks of ABC, NBC and CBS. And forget PBS, too, unless you are part of the minority that doesn't have cable or online access.

After watching coverage of the Wisconsin recall, I am convinced more than ever that it's time for a major press gut check. We have been in real trouble for a long time with TV news, but we truly have reached a new low of partisanship at MSNBC and Fox News -- and confusion at CNN.

With a caucus vote so close that the cable channels had to wait until all the votes were actually counted to declare a winner, Iowa was no place to be Tuesday night for media amateurs and ideologues.

This year, I gave up reporting cable news ratings every month.

I don't don't know which of these two I like less -- Piers Morgan or Christine O'Donnell. Here's video of her walking off his show Wednesday after being questioned about gay marriage.

And at this crucial moment when we need the down-the-middle, keen analysis that CNN usually provides, what does the cable channel give us instead? Piers Morgan. I can't remember the last time I was as angry as I was last night when CNN decided it was going to stick with Mr. America's Got Talent following the words of the leaders of two branches of government who sounded like they were never going to compromise for all the president's phony use of the word Monday night.

After saying what sounded like a prepared remark that this was "most humbling day" of his life, it only took about 25 minutes before Rupert Murdoch let slip what appear to be his real feelings about one of the most wide-reaching scandals in 20th century media history.
