"CBS Said to Consider Use of CNN in Reporting"
"CBS, the home of the most celebrated news division in broadcasting, has been in discussions with Time Warner about a deal to outsource some of its news-gathering operations to CNN, two executives briefed on the matter said Monday....
MSM must really be hurting then.
That's what happens when you lie all the time!
Broadly speaking, the executives described conversations about reducing CBS’s news-gathering capacity while keeping its frontline personalities, like Katie Couric, the CBS Evening News anchor, and paying a fee to CNN to buy the cable network’s news feeds....
Katie Couric: The Face of CBS crap!!!!
I'll bet that's not what she expected when she signed the contract!
For CNN, a deal with a broadcast network would mean a new revenue stream without having to add much in costs. For CBS, an arrangement with a cable channel would allow it to cut costs while maintaining the CBS News brand, although in a much trimmed-down fashion.
No matter how much you dress up a turd, it still smells like shit!
CBS is mired in last place amid the continuing struggles of Ms. Couric, who was given a $15 million a year contract, to attract new viewers....
Yeah, that probably wasn't too good an idea.
More recently, CNN and CBS talked about sharing resources in Baghdad in order to save money....
Pffffft!
As if the coverage of the OCCUPATION (because that is what it is) isn't bad enough already!
Combined, according to estimates from TNS Media Intelligence, the three evening newscasts brought in about $478 million in advertising revenue in 2006, the last full year in which figures are available. The morning shows generate much more in advertising revenue, a combined $1.4 billion in 2006.
Both of those figures were down slightly from the previous year, underscoring the fact that, at least for now, broadcast news is still a sizable, although declining, business.
Yeah, MSM is falling all over the place!
That's what happens when you LIE to people; then they DON'T TRUST YOU!
While broadcast television as a medium is in decline because new platforms — the Internet, mobile devices — are fragmenting audiences, the problems at CBS News are more acute. While overall evening news viewership across the three networks declined 5 percent last year, CBS’s fell 13 percent....
Because WE DON'T LIKE being LIED TO!!
We want the TRUTH!
