It actually shows their fear of the internet news culture. My guess is that they have the lame idea that they will be able to control the news, thusly the views, on the net as well. It will be interesting to say the least.
Probably fun to if they have a MB where we can blast them! :)

I get my news so much faster, and better on the net. I trade stocks plus lend my services to exposing public company frauds (no larger ripoffs since Theodora), so research is no problem. But even for the average person getting news, without tease after tease for bits only of news, and such mushy politically correct coward speek...well, getting internet news will grow.

A culture shock may be how truth will rise. However a drawback I anticipate to continue, is sort of like some do not show the respect to speek with somone by phone or chat board the way they would respect one at arms length. That is bad 'news'.

Acceptance of the news, the specific stories of interest, are not one size fits all. With net news there is rapid choice, at times facilitated with feedback. Many times the purest news *sellers* on tv or radio, tease out, have a commercial and then tease again before getting to so little of a story. In those same minutes one can read a heck of a lot on the net.
