Really, I'm only wondering if its facilities could be snagged a la Al Gore and INdTV.

1. Bye-bye

2. Too bad in a way.

They run CNN international on the weekends. It's totally different from CNN Atlanta, even though they do snippets of Blitzer and company, it's interspersed with global reporting much like the old CNN of Ted Turner.

They actually run stories that are critical of Bush and showed the worldwide war protests prior to the invasion of Iraq, while our homegrown media ignored them.

3. I will miss that too.. I like World News

Is that the station that runs Tina Brown too?

This part sucks:

" "Dolans Unscripted" will move to the company's other networks. "

UGH!!!!

4. No. That was CNBC.

Oh well we still have LinkTV and NWI that runs the CBC news one hour a day, and BBC that runs a half hour of BBC news. Sigh.

5. CNN Int. seemed pretty critical of Blair about the war too..

But lately they are showing a lot of negative Kerry reporting. They did report on the missing explosives and it stated they were there after the invasion.
