  1. “… evolve back to the kind of journalism that it started with …”
    I remember it as always being crap.
    But maybe I’m just prejudiced against propaganda.

  2. You’re gonna have to start over from scratch with an entirely new group of people, then. There’s no way in hell you’re going to get the current crew to change their ways.

  3. Uh oh!

    Sounds like someone is planning another Mid East war.

    CNN, MSNBC, etc., are done as a newsworthy station. It will be very difficult to make your network right again. They have done more to destroy real news, and no one trusts them. When you’ve been screwed over by a corporation, are you willing to go back to them for seconds? If so, then you can’t be fixed.

  5. Still think calling CBS,NBC,ABC (thro in CNBC and CNN) them the main street media no longer works. It’s time to crown them the “BRANDON MEDIA”! Just like the way it paints them into the corner.
