If they can get content from CNN, they will survive, but the move will do nothing to return them to their former preeminence in news broadcasting.

this would be a great fit, now the left could go to one channel for the news that they want and the right can go to fox. CBS and CNN are so far in the tank for liberals it is tough to watch. beside Larry King has been phoning it in for yrs, go Kati you are so much more objective.
