    On June 8, CNN unveiled “Courageous,” a new production unit and an in-house studio that would be paid by advertisers to produce and broadcast news-like “branded content.”

    “This isn’t about confusing editorial with advertising,” CNN executive Dan Riess told the Wall Street Journal. But a corporation going beyond advertising on a channel and funding the network to produce PR segments made to look like news is exactly the kind of confusion Riess is referring to.

    All media has been for-profit corporate media for decades. "All The News That Won't Upset Advertisers"

    Corporate-Americans don't have ethics, morals, mortality, consciences, "courage", just rent-seeking, profit-seeking to satisfy the vehement demands of investors (capitalists)

    In fairness, Fox Business runs a few infomercials on the weekends when the markets are closed but it is clearly labeled "paid programming".

    When I'm running at the Gym late night. I notice CNN has an all-black duo.

    How 13% of the Population can take up both spots is ING MINDBLOWING

    Considering all your shoes have Velcro, I'm not too surprised you think that.

    Unless it's packaged as CNN Africa, that's classic racism

    Glad I gave up on that Cuck news network years ago. But I'm sure you enjoy your African news
