No other news media is reporting this.
MSNBC still saying 36 hours, 2million and release of Zeef.

CNN has been getting all the reports first, because they are the ones receiving the emails. Including the first one with the pictures. CNN will have the first reports. I think he's dead, because money was NEVER a factor in the prior demands.

Yes, they ARE reporting it. MSNBC just had someone on from Pakistan (a journalist) who read the first email which said that "Mr. Bush could find (Daniel Pearl's) body in the pits of Karachi." So they are reporting BOTH stories..

From the MSNBC Website:

Feb. 1 —  The fate of a kidnapped Wall Street Journal reporter was thrown into question Friday when a caller to the U.S. Consulate in Pakistan demanded ransom for his release, but an e-mail sent to the newspaper claimed he had been executed. U.S. officials told NBC News they had no independent way of corroborating the e-mail, which said Daniel Pearl’s body could be found in “the graveyards of Karachi.”
