#2 But what will CBS News broadcast, if the "-tainment" is removed from their "info-tainment"?

Easy. Candlepin bowling...

#6 So five hundred people are going to show they do nothing but rewrite the material already collected by AP and al Reuters. Maybe the execs at CBS can so some serious cost saving by outsourcing the entire division. Seriously, hire Univision with some bi-lingual anchor. Shift the focus off of Europe and back to our own hemisphere. Grab for the demographic of mixed generation households.

#7 About 500 unionized news writers could soon join their creative colleagues on the picket line.

I would say that the news writers should be considered creative writers, based on MSM content. Since the creative writers are already on strike, logic sez the newzies, as creative writers themselves, should be pounding the pavement, too.

This is another golden moment to have the MSM self-destruct and maybe---just maybe---other sources can start informing the American public on the truth.

#9 You mean Perky Katie doesn't make up her own lies? She outsources them?

That's shocking.

Next you'll be telling me she's a bubble-headed MSM dipshit who couldn't find her ass with both hands and a flashlight.

Oh, wait....
