CBS and CNN Could Be Making News Together

crimeandpunishment writes "More proof of the profound impact cable, the Internet, and other outlets have had on broadcast news organizations. CBS and CNN, who have danced around the idea of a partnership for years, may be ready to move forward. Both news organizations have a lot at stake. Broadcast network news has a gloomy financial outlook, and CNN's ratings need a jump-start."

Yes, because what we need more of in this face, paced online environment is an old media behemoth to bring ingenuity and inventiveness to the scene!

CBS News has a very conservative slant whereas CNN is more neutral. As far as news content goes there is a real conflict. ABC News also seems to be moving towards the right a bit as well. It's a shame that we have no news service dedicated to deep investigations and aiding the liberal causes. Right now America needs to be digging deep and exposing crooks and crooked companies.

The reason that we don't have any news service dedicated to "deep investigation and aiding liberal causes" is because most of the stuff that needs deep investigation is being done by organizations that are trying to aid liberal causes (for example, ACORN). So, any news organization that is dedicated to aiding liberal causes, doesn't want to investigate deeply (they might discover that Goldman Sachs is run by Democrats).

Liberal Rag

All of these news organizations need to remove the political slant from the reporting. Every since CNN turned into a liberal rag I quit watching it.

That is probably why it is modded as Funny. Everybody knows that Fox News commentators don't express relevant opinions. They only spread fear and misinformation to people who don't want any annoying facts disrupting their world view.
