#2 I wonder what their international numbers are, that's who they're probably gunning for now.

I wonder if DISH will remove one CNN channel.

#3 The cognitive disconnect is systemic - top to bottom. Any org so clueless as to have put Eason Jordan in charge is terminally screwed. The only way they can be saved is by the stockholders demanding that upper management be fired en masse. King stockholder isn't there to promote a cause, he's there for successful profit generation. The Moonbat Model doesn't cut it. Adapt or die.

#6 Have any of you watched CNN lately? What a joke it's become. News consists of Michael Jackson, BTK Killer, Pope Vulture Watch and did I say Michael Jackson? On the hour they have maybe one 5 second spot of the biggest story of the day. I don't know why they just don't pack it in, hire Jerry Springer and dump the whole "news" angle all together.

#10 My Estonian girlfriend is of the modern peacenick Euro variety -- war is always bad, blah, blah.

But Fox News is now carried by a lot of the local cable channels over here in the last 12 months, here in Estonia, in Sweden, etc.

She's become a big Bill O'Reilly fan, of all things. The other night, when there was a piece on Baby Assad on Brit Hume's show about his links to the bombing in Lebanon, she turned to me and said, "He is, how you Americans put it -- cruising for a bruising?"

Music to my ears. Unfortunately, from what I've seen, the U.S. State Department under Powell abandoned the intellectual field to the likes of the BBC and Euronews in the last four years. But as much as I detest screechfests like Hannity and Colmes ... god bless Fox News.

#11 That is really not fair to Powell. He entered the job thinking he would actually be allowed to do what was required of the Secretary of State. He was window dressing. The administration would not allow him to make any decisions and when he was bold enough to make a statement he was spanked.

#12 Jones,

When I was a little bit younger, I thought Powell was the cat's meow. I was hoping he would run for president post Gulf-War days.
But, he ended up being one of the least-travelled secretaries of the last 50 years. Spent too much time in D.C. fighting the turf wars he thought he needed to be fighting, instead of articulating the position of the present adminstration, which is what the FREAKIN' JOB IS for the SecState. Not to set policy, but to explain it and implement it.
From what I've seen, Rice is already better in a few short months. Euros know that when she speaks, she's speaking for the administration, and not herself.
Plus, IMO it's pretty cool to walk into your local American embassy and see a black woman on the wall as the U.S. representative to the world, methinks.

#13 A complaint from our "allies" was that Powell didn't travel enough. He doesn't like to fly, which would be a hindrance (sp) for the job, me thinks.

But, Condi's boots are made for walkin'.
