On CNN

Someone brought up a comment on 'CNN having credibility' recently, and the talk went to the 1990s.

It's hard to imagine but as you went from the late 1980s, into the mid-1990s....CNN had respect....dignity.....honor....and recognition. 

You could have turned on Larry King and gotten a decent four-star interview.  You could have viewed some ongoing situation where they actually didn't go to find experts.....they just let the camera run and let things unfold from witnesses on the scene. 

Today?  I sit and have the finger on the 'mute-button' and attempt to view CNN until they bring in the 'experts'.  The mute goes on and I wait until they reach the next story. 

The big boss of AT&T is supposed to be leaving shortly, and some suggest that as the new guy arrives....he might go and put CNN up for sale.  Profitability?  I doubt if CNN has turned any real profit for the past six to eight years.  The possibility that some Chinese unit will end up buying CNN?  It wouldn't really shock me.
