Signs of Stress for CBS

CBS is considering the use of CNN news for some of its news gathering. It's a sign of financial troubles affecting all of the mainstream media, but it seems that CBS has been hit most acutely with its recent 13 percent drop in viewership.

There has been a lot of talk of establishing this kind of relationship. It'll be interesting to see if the partial merging of services actually happens, or if perhaps either one of these news venues folds first. I do my best to avoid each of them. No cable in the house, and I don't watch either of them. I've concluded from personal experience that most mainstream news reporters aren't 'running on all four cylinders', and recommend that people use the internet and multiple written sources for news.

Puhleeeeze don't be leaning on television news for your election decisions!
