The latter is probably the best at understanding what a certain segment of the cable news audience seems to want -- news with a slant

What a joke. The problem is, CNN has been selling slanted news for years. And now there is an alternative.

"Instead, he couldn't even say his competitor's name, choosing instead to imply that CNN was Rolex and Fox News was Timex."

I sent the morning crew on Fox an E-Mail to the effect that Fox could be better compared to a well crafted, reliable precision Swiss Watch, while CNN could be compared to a sun dial on a mostly cloudy day.

If Fox News is biased and slanted, how the heck would the author describe CNN?

"CNN is still viewed as an entity attempting real journalism"?? By WHOM? Rabid leftist who actually believed the Clintonista Non-news Network's puffed-up propaganda for 8 years??

The public wants LESS slanted, more BALANCED JOURNALISM, so the public goes with FOX rather than CNN. The author sounds like an intellectually elitist idiot.

CNN ran a 20 mninute segment on the second presidential debate between Bush and Al which boiled down to the last line (paraphrased) "Even though Bush may appear to have won the debate, he actually lost" The author's commentary sounds exactly like the twisted reasoning CNN has driveled at the public for years: "Even though the public unbiased journalism, accuses CNN of rampant bias and refuses to watch, the public really sees CNN as dedicated to real journalism"

At that moment, a good portion of the room would have paid anything to have Roger Ailes from Fox News come in and beat the snot out of CNN, at least verbally, as he's wont to do.

I'd pledge money to Freerepublic, just to read about it and dream that it might happen...

"But CNN is still viewed as an entity attempting real journalism. Most journalists appreciate that."

Isn't this the network that supressed the truth about Saddam's Iraq for years???

CNN the NYT of cable. 'nuff said.

But CNN is still viewed as an entity attempting real journalism.

Would describing CNN as an
"entity"

be the same as describing CNN as a
"ghost" of its former self?
