Really CNN?

FTVLive got this email from a college student and he noticed something while watching CNN and brings up some good points:

Hi Scott.

I’m a college sophomore at Georgia Southern University. I was a journalism student at first, but I switched to information technology after taking an intro course and discovering I don’t want to be a journalist. Also, it seems like these endless budget cuts you keep reporting on would prevent me from finding a good job, so there’s that.

Anyway, the main reason I am emailing you was because I saw something that I wouldn’t expect from a national ‘news’ channel. I was watching CNN because I hate myself and I saw that they are now putting up on-screen ads during their political arguments. Look at the bottom right corner above their logo. I promise I did not edit this. I thought onscreen ads were what low budget local news did, but now CNN is decided to lower themselves to that level.

And to use one of your lines, somehow Jeff Zucker still has a job.

Here is the photo he passed along:

If CNN doesn’t get NoDoz to sponsor Wolf Blitzer, they are missing a huge advertising opportunity.

Just saying….
