NEW YORK, New York (The Adobo Chronicles) – Two of the leading American cable news networks today announced bold moves to try to improve their sagging ratings.

MSNBC has promoted Rachel Maddow from news host to new anchor.  In the midst of declining ratings for MSNBC, Maddow’s popularity is at an all-time high.

CNN, meanwhile, has announced that it was demoting controversial news anchor Don Lemon who has been criticized for his clueless and misinformed reporting and opinions for the news channel.   Lemon was also the target of a recent online petition asking CNN to fire him. That petition has so far gained over 37,000 signatures.

CNN demoted Lemon from news anchor to teleprompter.

 (noun tele·prompt·er \ˈte-lə-ˌpräm(p)-tər\a machine that helps someone who is speaking to an audience or on television by showing the words that need to be said)
