Funny you should ask.Jon Klein, according to the corporate website, is "president of CNN/U.S., responsible for management oversight of all programming, editorial tone and strategic direction of the network."
Here's what Jon has said publicly about the quality of CNN's programming, compared to its competitors (presumably MSNBC and Fox):
"Our editorial chops are alive and well. We're kicking butt everyday. The American people want serious news -- and they're not getting enough of it from cable…We are the most essential source of information for Americans. We've aligned all of our day parts to be the newsy alternatives."
"Sizzle is out – audiences expect substance and we deliver that in a way no one else does. We are feeling very good about the momentum we have gained and the fact that we are showcasing our reporting. Our gimmick is news."
(Nod to Miami Herald's blog, linked above, and TVNewser for putting this out there.)
