CNN and 24hr cable news has not been good for journalism. Opinion pundits responding to events before the facts can even be collected along with daily shows interweaving narratives pre-dates Fox News. Fox News played their game more blatantly ruthless than the others and beat them at their own game.

It seems to me that CNN accidentally stumbled on to this problem, while when Fox News came along they cynically embraced it as a revenue generator. For CNN it began as a bug, Fox made it a feature.
