At some point in the next couple of months....the budget axe is going to fall over the CNN staff, with probably ten percent of their benefits or salary that will be cut in some fashion. You can’t continue the pay scale/benefits unless you have viewers, which they haven’t really had in the last three to five years. My humble guess is that some CNN people see the writing on the wall and absolutely want to probe every story and now give a “fair and balanced” setting. It may be too late to have an impact, but CNN could repair itself.
I hope that they don’t lose their healthcare!
