AT&T Plans CNN-style Security Channel

An anonymous reader writes "Infoworld has a story about AT&T's upcoming effort to create a CNN of network security. From the article: "Security experts at AT&T are about to take a page from CNN's playbook. Within the next year they will begin delivering a video streaming service that will carry Internet security news 24 hours a day, seven days a week, according to the executive in charge of AT&T Labs.""

More like Fox it seems

From TFA:

ISN will look very much like Time Warner's Cable News Network, except that it will be broadcast exclusively over the Internet, Eslambolchi said. "It's like CNN," he said. "When a new attack is spotted, we'll be able to offer constant updates, monitoring, and advice."

Because we all know in the US that the only news worthy of reporting are attacks. Attacks by terrorists, attacks by US troops, and basically any violent act that gets the population fearful and anxious, and therefore riveted to the TV set to learn more.

Of course, economic (unless the economy is threatened one way or another), diplomatic and other news aren't interesting.
