Wolff: Can these faces save CNN?

How to fix CNN is one of those enduring media puzzles that just might, it sometime seems, nag forever at true news believers. Shouldn't there be a way to create strong, intelligent, informative news that a significant audience might find compelling?

Jeff Zucker, CNN's ambitious chief and as tactical a television mind as exists, seems in many ways to have concluded that there probably isn't.

To an ever and ever greater degree, cable news is about sliver audiences— even Fox News averages only a million viewers a night — targeted to melodramatic or campy political sensibilities.
