For the first time in its history, CNN's Headline News is tinkering with its all-news format.

It would probably do better if it reported all of the news instead of just the half Ted Turner wants you to hear.

You are so correct. What you get from headline news is more liberal spin than "straight" news. Of course they would not admit to it, but much of their "unbiased" news reports are decidedly leftist tinged. Maybe there is no right or left way to report disasters, but they sure go out of their way to not report anything that might be construed as positive towards conservatives or Republicans. Their coverage of the war is an excellent example. They always emphasize U.S. military and civilian Iraqi deaths and casualties while underreporting objectives and triumphs. Their chief "pundit" about Iraq is Tony Karon (?) from Time Magazine. Enough said. The sinister hand of Ted Turner obviously is directing what gets put on and how it is reported.

Great point!

One would think that they are about to introduce us to more trash programming because they have "run out of" news.
