News reporting
Rather than simply passing on what was said, and to have a little fun while involving any rare readers in registering what was said, and only if you'd like to join in, read the two paragraphs and then write your answers to the questions in a comment.
"I think [cable news network 1] and [cable news network 2] delight in showing Iraqi violence because they want Americans to think badly of President Bush. And that strategy has succeeded. So their Iraqi coverage is more political than informational, again in my opinion. [I] could be wrong about [cable news network 1]. I'm not wrong about the . . . crew over at [broadcast network].

"There's little news value in broadcasting daily bombings. By the way, [cable news network 3] continues to crush [cable news network 1] and [cable news network 2] in the ratings, [showing that viewers] know news when they see it."
Now the questions.
1. Identify cable news network 1.
2. Identify cable news network 2.
3. Identify the broadcast network.
4. Identify cable news network 3.
5. Who said this?
Answers to come in comments sometime in the next few days. Wasn't that fun??

I had thought Fox was crushing CNN and MSNBC in the ratings, although those choices seem too obvious! :) But I don't get cable news, and don't watch broadcast news.
