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."
Do you feel lucky?
People would watch. Newstainment with its constant editorializing and presenters that have less acting talent than pro wrestlers make me switch the dial off.
CNN/FOX going out of business due to low ratings is actually GOOD for US Democracy.
Bring back Mac-Neil Lehrer and kill the 24 hour news cycle.
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.
I want anderson cooper to make a porn video with kim kardashian.
I have an alternative suggestion:
DIE CNN DIE DIE DIE!!!
I do not believe in karma. "Funny"=-6. Do good and forbid evil. Yours, Oft-Offtopic Flamebaiting Troll.
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.
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.
