BIZARRE: CNN gaining ratings by reporting on one of its own columnists?
Edited on Mon Sep-29-03 10:04 PM by sgr2
I believe this is a brand new kind of story. It's absolutely crazy! A senior CNN reporter and on-air personality in the very middle of a political and criminal firestorm. Has any columnist or on-air personality EVER been involved in ANYTHING like this?

1. Well, Fox hadn't covered it all day
so the Fox watchers had to go elsewhere. I bet MSNBC saw a bump too.

2. Absolutely!
The one thing the Media Borg finds irresistible is itself.

4. And this is EXACTLY why this thing will not die out. CNN will beat it
like a dead horse. Oh the inhumanity!!!

6. I think there are 6 other reporters who will want their names out.
NBC said Andrea Mitchell found out about it after the column, so who are the 6? They won't like being anonymous, not that they'll give out the names.

5. It really cracks me up that it's Novak out of all people who this centers
on. He's got a very short fuse. "Irascible" comes to mind.
