Walton quickly added that he did not mean to suggest that Fox News was trading on sensationalism. But he seemed to be alluding to Fox in offering a wristwatch analogy to downplay the significance of CNN's No. 2 standing in U.S. cable news ratings. "I really don't think Rolex cares how many watches Timex sells," he said. Right after they mentioned this on Fox and friends this AM, they went on and on how their ROLEX watches suck and lose several minutes a day. ROFL.

LOL!
I guess it depends on whether you want to keep time accurately or prefer to brag to all and sundry about how prestigious and expensive your watch is.

...he cares more about reclaiming CNN's hard-news roots than in regaining ratings supremacy from archrival Fox News Channel. "I don't get caught up in that," newly installed CNN president Jim Walton said Yeah, right. I'll bet this attitude lasts until Monday.

I was channel surfing yesterday morning when I stopped at CNN upon hearing "Jack" the old guy during the morning state (paraphrasing)"now all you who call us Clinton News Network I want you to know that all these letters I am getting about Bush lying are all against Bush. I'd read pro Bush letters but there are none". He came to the conclusion that this story will be bigger than Watergate.
Got me laughing because they just don't get it. No Bush supporters WATCH his lousy network so as to write him letters.

One thing I always find very interesting about CNN: Whenever one of their anchors puts his/her own comments on the air, it never shows up on CNN's transcripts pag. Jack Cafferty's comments from yeserday that you mention above? Not there. Some sort of snotty commentary Anderson Cooper gave on Monday about Savage being fired from MSNBC? Not there.
I wonder why CNN is hiding this information.
