So, CNN is just basically a cable network that reads selected tweets on twitter?

9. I think this is all Rick Sanchez & the Backwards B-Girl's fault

I remember Rick Sanchez was the only one in the MSM reading and sending Tweets. Then the Backwards B-Girl story came out along with the Tweets that pretty much busted her. Seems like RIGHT after that the Twitter thing exploded.

10. CNN has failed to comprehend that people go online for news now...

Because the MSM (cable newz networks) no longer reports the news, and is more interested in pushing Corporate Government propaganda.

Hey CNN Reporters... You have a college degree in journalism, and your highest achievement will only be repeating propaganda and being the video version of the National Enquirer. You have disgraced and dishonored your profession, because you do not even know what it means to be a real news reporter.
