"Beleaguered global news service CNN International is rumoured to be considering major redundancies in a cost-cutting exercise."

Why? Are they merging with Al Jazero?

[Nick Danger]

This... is CNN.

[ChadGore]

Isn't telling the truth easier ?

[Daryl L.Hunter]

You reap what you sow.

"You reap what you sow."


BINGO. Hope they let the whole propaganda machine go.


I think I heard on Fox today that Brits are calling for dissolution of BBC.

Couldn't happen to a nicer bunch of Socialists.

NICK that is cool

Actually be honest with you I used to have CNN internatioal on my old cable service but not anymore since I got another cable service I get SKY News in return drop CNN Internatioal I been happy

"CNN is going".

I watched CNN once and was appalled by what I saw. No wonder they are called "Clinton News Network" and "Communist News Network". Good riddance!

[VadeRetro]

I've been ragging on CNN to get them to aspire to do better than Fox. Looks like I was too late.

[Cold Heat]

Yeah, those dang redundancies are a pain.

[Beck_isright]

Hopefully the layoffs will result in nothing more than a blank screen with a scroll at the bottom. CNN International is what Marx dreamed of, nothing more, nothing less.

Must be due to NAFTA, WTO, Bush Administration, Reaganomics,Ollie North, Haliburton, Enron. Big Oil, Big Business, blah blah blah

We live just out of Chiang Mai. I don't know if I could take Bangkok for other than brief trips. However, the traffic has become marginally better with the expressways and overhead. I only reluctantly drive there as I get lost too easily.

That said, the people continue to be very receptive to individual Americans and somewhat positive to the USA in the wake of Bush's visit. The troubles in the South (About 2 per day killed by Islamists) is, I understand, not yet sorted itself out. We will be returning in about a month as I finish up some things I have to do here in Oregon.

I certainly hope so. I do like to listen to BBC world news but I know how to filter the spin and Judy Swallow is sometimes impossible to swallow. I think BBC costs each brit $200 dollars a year, I don't think they are getting their moneys worth

I haven't heard from any of my friends on the inside of CNN Center of late; but nothing over there would surprise me, unfortunately.

I can't rejoice like others on this thread are doing - I knew too many good folks there amid the rabid animals when I worked there.

[LowCountryJoe]

Nice touch! You should have gotten more kudos for that one, it's quite good.

I know just the man who can raise their ratings thereby saving CNN Internaional. They should hire.............................. BAGHDAD BOB!!!
