Why not just let Al Jazeera do all your reporting? They have to be cheaper than CNN and the anti-American spin will be even more pronounced (not much, but some).

Just when you thought CNN and CBS couldn't get any lower they form this incestuous relationship.

“Storied” — sure if by that you mean they tell tall tales.

reducing CBS's newsgathering capacity while keeping its frontline personalities, like Katie Couric, the CBS Evening News anchor, and paying a fee to CNN to buy the cable network's news feeds.
anchor is right. ;')

Die CBS, die!

Next: NBC, ABC, CBS, MSNBC, CNN, NY Times, The Washington Post.

The end of each will be a celebration!

"CBS Said to Consider Use of CNN in Reporting"

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

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

Al Jazeera would be a better choice.

CBS Said to Consider Use of CNN in Reporting

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?

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
