Dog-Eat-Dog NEWS NOTE: CNN to offer cheaper alternative to the Associated Press?
“But in his conference with employees, [AP President Tom] Curley suggested that the CNN wire service needed major improvement before it could play at The A.P.’s level.
‘You really don’t want to put quotes up there that could end up on locker room walls,’ Mr. Curley said, before doing just that.
‘The current CNN wire, if you look at it, truly is still, and remarkably, abysmally written,’ he said. ‘However, they’re interviewing A.P. people, we know, and that can be transformed. And if you have enough money and you have enough ego and enough desire, you can fix that in a hurry.’”
