It seems to me that in recent months cnn.com has been featuring stark opinion pieces on its RSS feed much more than in the past (Newt Gingrich has also become a regular presence). I am attributing this to a Zucker strategy. I use RSS feeds like cnn.com to keep up with important news events, not to keep tabs on cable news crapola. Once again, CNN is successful in curing me of any temptation of regarding it as a source of news. -- -- TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People!
