    What gives? CNN now charges for their streaming video of news stories... 4.95 a month or something!! What's up with that? It ain't a 'donation' either... if you want to watch their streaming video you have to pay! I now visit CNN a lot less than I used to, especially at home (broadband) where I would click on any video that interested me.

    What a bunch of malarky!

    Just had to vent... what do you think?
    :mad:

    This is even worse than Jim Rome doing it. There's no alternate ways to get to their stuff. You suck, CNN!

    They do suck! But you know what!? You can still get streaming news from Yahoo for free (but for how long!?)

    It seems more and more people are doing this, Jim Rome being just one example.
    Jim Rome, I can understand, he's only on once a day and thats it. A smart business move for him and people are paying for it. Hey its entertainment.
    I can't see this paying for news thing lasting though.
    I mean there is such a thing as t.v.:rolleyes:
