My friend at CNN
I have a friend who has a entry level job at CNN. She sent me an email last night and I asked her about the horrible coverage over there. She says she feels like she's working for Fox these days and apologized to me for her employers coverage. She was so angered by the coverage she sent out a big missive to all her friends.

2. What was CNN's rankings in the ratings?
I watched the approval lines on CNNfn when I wasn't watching the split screen on CSPAN, but as soon as the debate was over they went into the regular CNN feed with Wolf Blitzwhore, so I turned it to MSNBC so I could watch Ron Reagan and Joe Trippi. They make Scarborough much more palatable.

Anyone out there have the coverage rankings?

3. So true!
Dave I work for CNN almost 18 yrs! And many of us "worker bees" Photogs, editors, APs, etc. agree! CNN no longer leads but follows FOX which is a sure prescription for failure because you can't out- fox FOX.

4. Ain't that the truth...
that's what's messing with my head....CNN was trying to spin this thing (along with ABC) harder than Fox.
