CNN viewers are not interested in global warming stories, CNN president Jeff Zucker admitted Monday evening.
“When we do those [global warming] stories, there does tend to be a tremendous amount of lack of interest on the audience’s part,” said Zucker.

CNN viewers, as Zucker acknowledges, respond to CNN global warming stories the way Leslie Chow responded to futile negotiation tactics in the movie The Hangover: “Boring! Take nap now….“
