8. CNN has been infected with "banterism". They can NEVER just
Edited on Fri Feb-02-07 04:44 PM by SoCalDem
read the damned news, show the pictures, and STFU.

People do not tune into a 24-hr "news" channel , expecting to watch Regis & Kelly chit chatting away.

That's what made CNN great (in the beginning). They ran the film, read the facts and went on to the next thing.. There was very little IF ANY banter and smiley-talk , accompanied by guffaws and mock-play talk.
