    Of course CNN is doing very very well, there is no competition among government run media outlets, its a free ride.

    I missed this one at the time it came out,,and don't watch TV. But many people watch CNN for all of their news. How on earth can a rich kid come to work at a major news network,and cause so many reporters to disappear? Anderson Cooper has the ability (knowledge?) to be the CNN "go to guy" on every single news story? What a crock! Ted must be grinding his teeth.While CNN credited O'Brien as a "terrific reporter," Cowing added that he is surprised the network doesn't care to hold on to that expertise. For his part, O'Brien is putting on a positive face. "In television news, a nearly 17-year stint at one shop is more than just a good run - it is an epoch. I can honestly say I have loved every minute of my time at CNN," he said in a prepared statement. "It has been my privilege to be surrounded by the most talented, dedicated and creative people in the business. Collaborating with them - sharing many great adventures - is what I will miss the most - but I leave with great memories and great friendships intact. I see a lot of exciting opportunities - and I look forward to exploring what is on the horizon - which, after all, has been my mission at CNN all these years." Yet it is exactly "what is on the horizon" at CNN that also makes the decision to eliminate its science staff seem so illogical.

    When are people going to realize that scientific news is the only kind of news that matters?

    From the page: "CNN, the Cable News Network, announced yesterday that it will cut its entire science, technology, and environment news staff, including Miles O'Brien, its chief technology and environment correspondent, as well as six executive producers." Yobaba cut CNN several years ago.
