in a side note, CNN was not playing in the Atlanta airport, no where to be seen, no posters, advertisements,nothing.
Little known fact: They paid to have CNN in airports 24/7. In fact, it was a special feed that was curated just for travelers. That network went out of business in 2021.
Due to the network's prominence in public waiting areas, the network had stricter content standards than the regular CNN; for instance, stories involving commercial aviation incidents and crashes did not appear on the network, and were overlaid with automated weather conditions. Stories that involved sexual content and graphic violence were similarly overlaid. The network's digital on-screen graphics were designed larger than industry standards, to allow readability of fonts at a distance.
t/y I knew most of that but was still surprised , after all the main studio where they filmed the Iraq war on the roof with a green screen is just down the street.
WHAAAT?! That was all green screen?!
I wish I had my standard rant in an easy to use cut and paste, but alas I am on a tablet, and one finger typing, and don't know how to do that... So here goes...(takes deep breath)...
Your news is produced by the same companies that produce super hero car movies and car chases that defy physics. They have brought you blood spurting ERs, raging fires, earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes, and heart tugging animation. Their news buildings are just another production building on their expansive complexes of sound stages, production facilities, and facaces. The theme parks are the cash cows of their system, so the families being programmed, also contribute highly to keeping their programmers in the black.
MSNBCUniversalCOMCAST= Universal Studios Florida and Hollywood ABCDisneyESPN = everyone's beloved Disneyland and World. (☝☝☝☝Funny - auto correct made ABCDisneyESPN into Armageddon!!😏😏)
The desperate for entertainment are fine if their own programming and societal demise!
