| CNN to Package News by Topical Themes |
| 2003-07-20 |
| (2003-07-17) -- As the major news organizations go into their annual summer re-run cycle, CNN announced today it will package its programming in topical categories as "headline theme shows". Among the categories scheduled for rebroadcast: -- Arab TV airs more tapes from guys we thought we had killed. -- Democrats shocked and saddened at things George Bush does. -- If you lived here, this weather would probably kill you. -- Someone you never heard of is missing...possibly killed. -- The economy, while apparently rebounding, will likely get worse. -- Diseases with acronyms or animal names will probably kill you. -- Someone is killing people in a town you never heard of. -- Something you use everyday will probably kill you. -- Everybody in the world still hates America. -- Someone you never heard of just won the lottery. -- Someone famous said something outrageous. -- Stories we broke keep making news on our network. -- Disturbing video you need to see again and again. Not. But it’s hard to be sure with CNN. |
