So I wonder if CNN would be open to a counter-offer: ET will prep any CNN correspondent for a hard-hitting one hour interview on economics and/or energy with any Davos summit participant (hell, or any other "leader" for that matter), complete with facts, questions and follow-ups to likely waffles.
That should be good for a scoop or two (or at least some nice video footage of one of these characters exposed as out of their depth). The fact is that what we're experiencing right now is a top-down disaster. -Paul Krugman
I think that given that we don't know who will even get asked, the best hope for the question is to be thought-provoking in itself. Maybe it can sow the odd seed.
However, it occurs to me to wonder if there might not be a niche for this sort of a service after all. As the trad news outlets wither over the coming years they will be forced to shed whatever fact-base skills they still have. It might just be worthwhile for a trad news outlet to source factual stuff to a knowledge aggregator like ET if it would make their product more readable/watchable than the competition's. The fact is that what we're experiencing right now is a top-down disaster. -Paul Krugman
But they're too clueless to notice. The fact is that what we're experiencing right now is a top-down disaster. -Paul Krugman
Payoff is way too good, they won't go for it.
Offer it anyway, just to see if they nibble.
