You know there are no two television personalities more compelling than CNN’s Wolf Blitzer and Jake Tapper, and as they kick off their 2020 election coverage, they were led in with this promo, which is pretty intense. Just give us the totals when you have them, guys.
This CNN intro is just SO INTENSE! pic.twitter.com/0qBMzTJcgw

They’re really too much.

Somebody has watched too much Marvel during lockdown.

It’s missing explosions
— Derezzed (@1000thghost) November 3, 2020
They should have added a bunch of random explosions in there.

What the heck. I was feeling pretty calm until I watched that.

Hell I'm exhausted already. Going to bed.

The narrator! What is this, Unsolved Mysteries?

So much cheese. I think I've just developed lactose intolerance.
That is the "The Room" of intros.
Congrats CNN!

The music score is way over the top.

As a UK viewer I could only watch the CNN coverage for 10 mins and it was too much – colours, music, noise, split screens, people on for a few seconds then someone else. Just TOO MUCH. Turned back to UK tv and could breathe.

And now CNN's ratings have just dropped by 1 pt. in the 55+ demographic due solely to heartattacks.

This almost gave me a seizure

Did they hire someone from WWE or UFC to do this intro?

It’s garbage infotainment.

Geeezus, @CNN. Could you tone it down just a bit?
— TallTree (@TallTre41807331) November 3, 2020
Ridiculous. This isn't The Voice. They aren't contestants. It's not a game show. CNN & Blitzer did this in the 2016 GOP primary debates. "We have word now…Yes! Donald Trump has entered the building!" This is the kind of thing that dumbs people. I'm embarrassed for Tapper.

Bad movie trailer.

TUESDAY! Tuesday, tuesday… You own your entire seat! but you'll only need THE EDGE!!!!!!!

But they told us not to expect results for weeks and if it looks like President Trump is ahead election night, it’s just a “red mirage.”
Results on Friday!
