CNN 10 is a student news web series created by CNN. It only airs during the school year.

Why It Sucks

  1. Much like its predecessors, it is quite biased in news reporting.
  2. Carl Azuz, the show's main news reporter, is very annoying and acts more like a comedian than an actual news reporter. Carl Azuz was later replaced by a new host in September 2022 in which Coy Wire now hosts the show nowadays.
    • Not to mention, he fires off too many cringeworthy puns in a row at the end of each episode.
  3. The 10 Second Trivia topic is a complete buffoonery because it asks questions that even 3 years old would know, and it usually asks about states around the world, which gets boring after a while.
  4. Whenever CNN 10 is aired on a Friday, Carl Azuz always goes on about how awesome Fridays are, and always rushes through the news as well.
    • He also repeats the quote "Fridays are awesome!," which has aged poorly.
  5. 99% of their news consists of either hurricanes or state wars, which also gets boring after a while as well, and it also makes this show extremely useless when it comes to teaching students.
  6. At the end of each news, ten out of ten categories are introduced, and it is very unnecessary because it's only used as an excuse to make reports on either everyday objects or people. Also, there was once ten out of ten categories involving a basketball player trying to make a trick shot where he shoots the basketball way up into the air, but they edited it to make it look like he made it, although he missed. The 10 out of 10 music can also be ear-piercing.[citation needed]
  7. As mentioned in WIS#2, Carl Azuz was replaced by a new host Coy Wire in September 2022. But there was no official announcements to why he was replaced. Some people say that Carl Azuz retired from working at CNN, but no one knows why.
  8. September 2022, is the year where CNN 10 received a big overhaul. In which the host Carl Azuz was replaced with Coy Wire, most of the transitions looked and felt way cheaper, and for some reason they advertise their YouTube channel on Mondays through Thursdays rather than using stock footage for the background at the end of the episode.

Redeeming Qualities

  1. Catchy theme song and intro.
  2. Some good episodes.
  3. It gets interesting here and there.
  4. Around the end of the school year, it becomes less biased in reporting news and tries to get as much news reported as possible before the school year is over.
  5. It goes on a hiatus during the summer and will come back during the day when school starts. Therefore, it will not be there to ruin your summer vacation.

Reception

CNN 10 has received mixed-to-negative reviews from critics and audiences over the years. Several CNN 10 episodes had more dislikes than likes prior to YouTube removing the dislike counter.[citation needed]
