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."

  1. CNN sucks a big fat dick. Dont ruin 60 minutes!! by Jackie_Chan_Fan · · Score: 0, Troll

    60 Minutes is probably the last thing we have on major networks that we can consider journalism.

    CNN is worthless trash and now I'm not a Fox news fan.

    PBS's NOW, and Frontline are fantastic.. but they're PBS...

    The 3 major news networks are a fucking wasteland of information.

    Although I do like Rachael Maddow quite a bit.

  2. Now I know I'm being astroturf-modded by drinkypoo · · Score: 0, Troll

    Modded -1, overrated so that no adjective appears next to my comment's score, in an attempt to be sneaky — some people check out negative moderations to see who is doing what, after all. How much do you get for that line of work? I note that I've picked up another couple of Overrated mods elsewhere on comments which otherwise have overwhelmingly positive moderation. Stop following me around, douche.
