Most consumers are getting nickel and dimed to death with multimedia providers such as cable satellite and video rentals. Why pay CNN twice (or any other outlet). If CNN wants cash, they had better put the content (with ads) out there. If the competition is giving away the content and getting ad revenue from it, why did CNN wait so long to change?

That was always one of my biggest peeves with CNN.com. Just throw a 10 second ad on the front, make some money off it and show it to me for free. You could even but a bottom bar with a constant ad and I wouldn't care, they'd probably make a lot more money that way. Good for them for finally changing their tune. Erik Finally!

So..I was wrong. Its about money? Our true religion and christian roots. I yearn for an independent media source to deliver the public truth not pander. Cnn, msnbc, (forget faux) are going down on that day even with their free stream of info. It still isnt free of pandering to their big corporate sponsors and of course political contributions!
