CBSs new morning show starts today

CBS   Morning Shows
    This morning , morning television has  a new addition , "CBS This Morning" which replaced the "Early Show".  It so far is a big difference to the old  show and the others , NBC'S "Today Show" and ABC'S 'Good Morning America' , it starts  with a mash up of the day's top stories called "Eye Opener" . It's anchoring setup is different as well Charlie Rose, Erica Hill , and Gayle King all stared the show off, then after the "Eye Opener"  it was just Rose and Hill, King returns in the second hour. The desk is not square or rectangle ,it's round with a CBS eye in the middle,  and the anchors sit  across from each other instead of next to each other. "This Morning" removes some of the many features on the other morning shows have made use off for years, the news update desk and anchor is no longer a feature, the national weather , which was removed during the last months of the "Early Show", is gone, going outside  and having people stand around is also not there.
   The Studio is a wonderful improvement , the real brick, the objects on the shelves, and the coloring is very inviting and also shows the tone of the show.  It also adds a  flavor with in-studio interviews of CBS NEWS correspondents . The 3 host format does need  bit more work to adjust the balance , but  that looks easy enough. The most seeming difference a viewer could tell was the show didn't go into the lifestyle area that many other shows rely upon, the  anchors didn't do much witty-banter and cheesy lines. "60 minutes" stories, politics , an interview with Julianna Margulies (The Good Wife) ,they also had singer Melissa Etheridge to discuss issues of the day.

Review of the Media on the Iowa Caucus

Media  Choice2012 
  By Joshuaonline Staff

CNN 
     CNN seems to pride themselves on their election coverage . This year , the network  moved it's election coverage from New York to it's Atlanta HQ.  It also added a bunch more graphics and gadgets to it's use age. Using heavy hitter anchors, Anderson Cooper, Wolf Blitzer ,John King and their "Best Political team on TV" CNN made their election coverage interesting.
   Goods:  CNN kept the coverage fair and kept going through out the night waiting for every vote to be counted.  Its setup was great overall.
  Bads: CNN did use too many things, even though the GCI "Weebles" seem like a good idea it's just something for mockery. The "Flex " touch screens maybe a bit much and twitter is good but trying to use it in coverage may be too much.
