There is talk about CBS hooking up with CNN. CNN would do the reporting, while CBS would provide the on-camera airheads.
That would be a shame. How could CBS possibly replace the reportorial talent it has in places like Albany, New York, where their people report that NYC “commuters are thrilled with the idea” of a millionaire’s tax to fund transportation. It doesn’t even need to conduct a poll to know this. All it needed was two quotes.
Oh, well. If the deal with CNN goes through , these reporters can probably get jobs at Gallup and Zogby, and save those companies tons of money by teaching them how to come up with results without doing expensive polling.
But I hope it doesn’t happen until they’re done cheerleading New York City into enacting this millionaire’s tax. Some of those millionaires will need a place to go, and here in Michigan we could use more people like that on our tax rolls.
