Actually they had all the facts. It was the attack on the Synagogue in Jerusalem. CNN left out the fact that two of the deceased were the Palestinian attackers that murdered the 4 Israelis who were there for services.
Why this detail was edited out is a question for the story editors at CNN.
This type of thing may very well be a contributor to CNN's slumping ratings.
Needless to say, Time Warner had better take stock of the fact that CNN is a less valuable channel in terms of the rate they can charge.
I do not think Time Warner can afford to lose 16 million potential viewers by keeping their channel(s) off Dish.
As far as I am concerned, Time Warner can keep CNN.....
Depends on the niche channel. There are some niche channels that have better content than some of the more popular channels. Popularity and quality are not necessarily synonymous.
If anything, the varied and diverse tastes of the populace is a compelling argument for ala carte.
Of course it is.
I was simply pointing out that the majority of pay subs do not view these niche channels.
All I have to say is Hell will be breaking loose!
Blackouts by Broadcasters/Cable networks are getting too common, and the madness hasn't stop.
In the new STELAR bill, they're reforming Retransmission Consent.

When that time comes they would, but is also not guaranteed that the AT&T/Directv deal would be approved yet
Plus they can't wait that long when Directv have ESPN and AMC contract expiring soon.
The question is will they be offered in HD or worst then 1 mbps stream SD version.
Just because people have a channel displaying on their TV doesn't mean that there is demand for that channel. I am sure my wife isn't the only person that turns on the TV while she does other things just for background noise.
You can get a pretty clear idea though, when you multiply those numbers by 14M customers.
Does she randomly pick a channel or does she like certain channels on in the background... Advertisers know there are a lot of listen only "viewers", multitasking and TV is very common.
If there is a show with wedding dresses on (either trying them on or trying to win a contest) then that channel gets picked first. Then if one of those isn't available then if someone in Las Vegas is trying to flip homes, that is the channel that gets picked. Finally if someone has a game show involving people cooking food then that is the channel that gets picked. She watches it for a little while then a long commercial block shows up and she drifts off to doing something else.
The only thing she really watches with focus is NFL Football games.
No, smart man. I wouldn't have married my wife if she wasn't an avid Steeler fan.
The background noise around here is usually Fox News during the day, CNN and HN not missed much except to check to see once in awhile how they are slanting a particular news story
I do (or did) just the opposite. CNN on in the background and once in a while flip to others to see the "slant".
I miss CNN, Comcast is available at my new home so if this thing goes on much longer I may switch.

I just had my first customer come in and ask what was going on with HLN and that he was upset. How long has it been now, like a month since they dropped? My wife and my mom had no idea they were gone. I made sure I let the guy know that he was my first complaint since they dropped since I was happy I had finally heard from someone that noticed they dropped.
