While discussing the media-on-media sniping going on over the coverage of Flight 370 on the Fox News show "Media Buzz", Howard Kurtz asks Mediaite columnist Joe Concha to weigh in. Concha says that CNN has no obligation to report responsibly because of all the competition that's out there.

That’s just sad

Whatever means justify the ends to these biased losers

Ethics schmethics.. Who needs facts anymore?

Just another rejection of standards and ethics. Win at any cost because the ends justify the means. How long before those in power decide it’s time to start arresting or assassinating their enemies? Has it happened already under the radar?

Media companies are private businesses and can do whatever they want to maximize profits and serve their stakeholders. If you want an unbiased journalistic company, nobody is stopping you from opening your own, are they?

Wait a minute. Last month's story was that bloggers had to be regulated because they're not really journalists and there was no one to "vet" what they put out on the internet.

OK, maybe that was last year's story, not last month's story.

Last month's story was that the record-cold winter was perfectly consistent with man-made global warming.

Concha says that CNN has no obligation to report responsibly

And fortunately, that's exactly how CNN has been operating

If the cable company is allowed by the federal government to be a monopoly and spreads the ad revenue around, they’re not a private business.

CNN ought to step up their simulator coverage, but the guys in it should change their clothes. It’s been about 3+ weeks. Must be kinda ripe in there by now.

cnn has been overdosing on anything that would buy eyeballs on the screen for as long as cnn has been in existence. Anybody else remember "Baby Jessica?" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jessica_McClure

CNN and their founder, Mr. Fonda, chose years ago to become DNC lapdogs.....and then MSNBC was formulated to do that one-up thingie.

I find it amazing (not!!) that Americanese news viewers have yet to buy a clue as to what's going on.
