  Improve the Video Player

  Having to be subjected to ads for a premium service I pay for is bad enough, but at least get the video player up to modern standards. Swipe down to see the time on your iPhone while something is playing? Video stops and returns you to the beginning of the program and you’re subjected to more ads. Yes, you can use the scrub bar to jump to other sections of the program, but you’re still re-subjected to like 6 ads before it’ll start. Bottom line, if you stop watching a video before it’s done, whether due to the app’s bugginess (per the example above) or because you simply took a break, it needs to pick back up where you left off and not force you to rewatch sections of ads you’ve already been through. Lastly, the search function for certain shows, such as Fareed Zakari GPS needs improvement.

  The grownups have left the newsroom

  I’m get it, the only thing that could save CNN after repeated scandals, editorial changes and massive losses was to pander to extremist and the young uneducated crowds with garbage that has no journalistic standards or fact checking and keeping the appearance of traditional news outlet. It’s the only way to keep relevant and compete on the TikTok rage bait revenue while making people think they are getting educated and helping some social justice causes. A classic case of “this is free -because you are the product”. Trash on steroids
