CNN's Purpose: Deliver the News
Source: WSJ Opinion Journal Peggy Noonan writes about the tsunami disaster coverage: "The cable news networks distinguished themselves, and CNN in particular has been fabulous, wall to wall. News ennobles them. When there's no news CNN is endless chatter, tacky as cheap sets. Then news comes and they are reminded of why they exist: to tell us what's happening, to get the newest and latest. It's as if the anchors sit straighter, knowing they do have a purpose beyond being the aural screen saver on our TV."
