CBS Said to Consider Use of CNN in Reporting

When all network news agencies ideas of “reporting” consist of reading aloud press releases from PR firms and government issued reports, when we only get one “spin” on every story on every channel & newspaper, what’s the difference? They might as well have only one news channel— The Corporate News Network!

I guess Dan Rather couldn't lie fast and quick enough for CBS so they called in the pros -- CNN!

[Paleo Conservative]

Well CNN meets the same “fake but accurate” standards as CBS.

So will CNN have to pay Katie’s salary if they do this..or does she get canned? bwhahahahaha?

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

CNN has the hate-America Christina Amanapour who is now comparing waterboarding to the Khmer Rouge torture chambers in Cambodia.

What a piece of CNN S**TTT!!!

By the way, Ms Amanapour, I was the journalist who told Congress (1974-75_about the coming genocide but people like you ignored it.

Someone call Mary Mapes. She’s probably needing work. I recently saw her book in the dollar store!!! Sweet.

Awe c'cmon dude, this the redneck yugo, aka Bosnian.

[skinkinthegrass]

He could be Jedi...$hrillary/Obambi, is Darth Series....and Sinister Juan "Keating Five / Queeq" McCranky, is Jar Jar Biks

By the way, Ms Amanapour, I was the journalist who told Congress (1974-75_about the coming genocide but people like you ignored it...
Interesting, I was "turned-off by the slanted media" in the mid-1970s....the Hmong Betrayal / Mayagues-Cambodia Pirates / the Pol Pot "Silence" treatment.

...never trusted 'em.

The bad news is - they’re going to be replaced with infomercials interrupted by regular commercials.

[SO RIGHT]

A NYT STORY ABOUT CBS AND CNN JUST HOW CREDIBLE COULD THIS BE?

Al Jazeera would be a better choice.

Just the outhouse describing how the sewage of disinformation will be formed when it is combined at the bottom of the pile. I’ve met a lot of people in the airport restrooms who would rather stay in the rest rooms so as to listen to restroom sounds rather than listen to the phony B.S. coming from the CNN-provided-TV’s in the waiting areas.

Makes sense, from a business as well as an ideological point of view. It's all about economies of scale, reducing overhead, and consolidating resources. Profit. The two entities are liberal socialist "peas in a pod" and all that, so why not join forces to promote their Democrat party?

[Stayfree]

She wouldn’t be worth $15 mill even if she performed porno acts 24/7 on tv, or gave couch time to every CBS exec for life...that’s about as dumb as paying $15 mill for a barnyard cat to make a barn the most mouse-free barn in the country. Howard Stern couldn’t get $15 mill for five minuts of fame if he personally paid Oprah $50 mill to give him a skully on national tv. Write a $15 mill check to several hundred families of Iraq-war wounded military and air their stories for several years and their ratings would soar out of sight.

One could lie and the other swear to it.

And visa versa

[ricks_place]

Katie Coric would turn 3,000 tricks per year at Ashley Dupre rates to reach $15 million. Before the year runs its course, Katie would lose the “perky”.

[JPJones]

You mean they’re not already doing that? huh.
