No Way

Last week the Guardian had a front page article that reported truthfully on Bush's speech in Annapolis.

Yesterday the Washington Post had a positive article about the election process in Iraq, read the whole thing here.

It's all about turnover. If you're in the news business and losing audience, the fee you can charge for advertising goes down.

CBS has realised they need to address this. So they're starting a new:

"quarterly insider's magazine, Watched! is advertiser-supported and will encompass all shows, news and sports on CBS, as well as upcoming DVD releases, theme park updates, behind-the-scenes features, exclusive interviews and anything else you can think of that ties back to CBS."

"The magazine is free (!) and will be distributed at a multitude of CBS outlets including affiliates, CBS gift stores, theme parks and show tapings. It will be published by the CBS Communications Group, in association with McMurry, and have a first printing of 400,000 copies." From www.cynopsis.com.
