[Aussiebabe]

putting “CNN” together with “science” is an oxymoron.

[james500]

So unless Anderson Cooper decides to do an AC360 show on the environment, holding the incoming administration accountable for every hurricane won’t be part of the CNN programming strategy?

[Red_Devil 232]

Yep! Why have science guys and gals when we all know that The Science Is Settled?

[Thrownatbirth]

"Those CNN phonies should stick to car bombs and beheadings."

[Jabba the Nutt]

"Now that the bulk of our environmental coverage is being offered through the 'Planet in Peril' franchise which is produced by the 'AC360' program, there is no need for a separate unit."

Planet in Peril, conclusion first, evidence later. No wonder CNN doesn't need a separate Science Unit, it does propaganda, not science reporting.

Thursday morning good news!

Oh yeah???

So now where are we going to go to find the latest truth about global warming, the hole in the ozone layer, the evils of offshore drilling, the need to protect ANWAR, the protection of old growth from wicked timber companies, the dangers of nuclear energy, and so much more?

And where else are the half dozen or so space cadets going to find work as professional bullsh*t artists, especially in today's economy?

Oh the humanity!

[mkjessup]

"It's not good for many reasons but the network's science unit is one of the best in television and probably has a few dozen Emmys to prove it"

Yeah, including that Emmy for discovering that the Space Shuttle is capable of warp speed:

[montesquiue]

WOW!!! This whole thread makes me feel warm and fuzzy!! What will all these TV anchors and lousy MSM do to find a new job?! Who will hire such loathsome creatures????

What are some suggested professions that may be a good fit considering their skills?? Hrmmm... Suggestions? IRS? ACLU?? Proctology? Pit-bulldog trainer? Snake charmer?

[beckysueb]

I guess they don’t need a science department now because Obama is going to make science go away. Everything will be done divinely, now. No more globull warming, etc etc etc.

[dangus]

Are you nuts? They’re saying that CNN is folding their science unit into their envirohysteria unit. That’s the final step in a horrible chain of events.

[dangus]

...not to mention this happens as CNN tries to replace AP.

[avacado]

Now that the bulk of our environmental coverage is being offered through the 'Planet in Peril' franchise which is produced by the 'AC360' program, there is no need for a separate unit."

"Planet in Peril franchise"??

Yeah riiiiight... that's good science!

Speaking of O'Brien, from 2006....

CNN's Miles O'Brien: Global Warming Skeptics "Bought and Paid For" By Fuel Industry

Science, my derriere...

[Clay Moore]

“We want to integrate environmental, science and technology reporting into the general editorial structure rather than have a stand alone unit.”

Editorial? Doesn’t science deal with clearly demonstrable FACTS?

I guess having both a major and minor in science somehow made me think it had something to do with *facts.* But what do I know?

[ConservativeMind]

“Here's a statement from CNN: ‘ We want to integrate environmental, science and technology reporting into the general editorial structure...’”

What, on earth, did they think they'd been doing for the last two decades through their liberal cr@p?
