Would I be correct in assuming, this would qualify as one of life’s embarrassing moments?

I know it’s been said many times but I’d have loved to been in the meetings where management was discussing their steep decline in viewership and how creating a subscription service was going to help them gain viewers AND increase revenue.

CNN shows the same sense of responsibility and attention to details in its reporting of the news.

Maybe these people just have a good sense of humor.
