God knows CNN needs all the help it can get ... unless Whitaker continues with this absurb CNN notion that the TeaParty is 24/7 headline news, in which case, he might just as well call it a day and move on.
Good for Mark & CNN, bad for NBC. Is this the beginning of an exodus or just a one-off?
NBC should just get out of the news business. They aren't very good at it. The old networks just haven't adjusted to the new environment. They are dinosaurs stuck in the tar pits.
