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.

Over the last decade, CNN has held intermittent talks with both ABC News and CBS News about various joint ventures. But during the last several months, talks with CBS have been revived and lately intensified, according to the executives who asked for anonymity because of the confidential nature of the negotiations.

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.

Another possibility, these people said, would be for CBS to keep its correspondents in certain regions but pair them with CNN crews.

First, the liberal asshats at See B.S. drive away 75% of their viewers with their socialist hate America bullshit.
Next, they have to outsource their news gathering needs.
Next, slip away into the abyss of nothingness.

And what do they replace their audience killing biased news with?
More audience killing biased news from CNN. Yeah, that should fix it.

The cold hard truth is that for CBS...using CNN to report their stories for them would actually INCREASE their credibility.

I can't stand either one of them except for when Glenn Beck is on CNN.

Glenn Beck is the best thing that CNN has. He's just shaking his head in amazement more and more.

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

On CNN Headline News. I'm assuming you've never seen Robin and Co. in the morning?  :hyper:

Since I absolutely LOATHE Fox and Friends, I watch Robin in the morning. It is the most apolitical show in the morning on cable. Robin is also drop.dead.gorgeous.  :leghump:

There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value. Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson. Watch an OWS rally and you'll see people burning the American flag while showing pride in communist heroes such as Che Guevera. --Bob, from some news site
