As usual, the ego and arrogance of CNN rears its ugly head. Maybe a TV business isn't suited to supply content to newspapers which have a need for greater depth and large amounts of stories.

More importantly, CNN needs to tread carefully with their attempt to undercut AP. Just how would CNN operate if they lost their AP breaking news wire considering almost every breaking story at the network comes from the AP wire. I would love to see AP consider CNN a direct competitor and pull their service from them.
