When it comes to cable news panels, nobody does it better than CNN. But what makes a CNN panel so mind-numbingly good?

Step 1: Spirited debate. If the panelists can hear each other talk, you've already failed. #Journalisming
Step 2: Moderate in moderation. Your panel won't go off the rails without an anchor who's asleep at the wheel. #Journalisming
Step 3: Bomb throwers. Find panelists who are willing to start some shit. #Journalisming
Step 4: Embrace the chaos. Clip it up and post it on YouTube.

Don't waste time trying to "solve a crisis" or "educate the viewer." Produce a shitshow and watch those Pornhub numbers roll in. #Journalisming
There you have it. Staging a successful cable news panel is easy, if you know how to do journalism good, as @DesiLydic explains in the latest edition of #Journalisming: on.cc.com/2tAHWS7
