ATLANTA (IFOC) - Inspired by their former owner Ted Turner's comments, CNN proposed a radical policy change for its coverage of news stories.
"We're well aware of the perception that we're chasing the 'Pervert of the Day' like Mr. Turner says," said Executive VP Susan Grant. "Therefore, we are shifting our coverage of perversion to a dedicated 'Pervert CNN' channel for 24/7 coverage that should free up CNN and CNN Headline News for other news coverage."
Sources within CNN and Time Warner said that the ordinarily difficult process of getting cable companies to include a new channel in its lineup shouldn't be too difficult for CNN. "We are the cable company," said one executive. "It's not like we're Disney, begging the competition to carry its new goofball offerings or bitching about how much ESPN is getting per subscriber."
The 'Pervert CNN' channel will launch on July 1 with a marathon session of 'Interviews With Jane Fonda' highlighting the sections about her former husband's sexual fetishes.
