Given that we're talking about a migration from CBC to an American network, the story is rife with possibility for speculation and consternation. You got yer "brain drain" angle, and you got yer "USers wooing talent away from poor CBC by offering 10x salary" angle, plus you got your "just when CBC's online presence was starting to go somewhere..." angle. I've only read one story about it, so I don't know if anyone is exploring those angles. But surely they're on people's minds.

It's a sign from above that you should read a book or take a walk or a vacation in the woods WITHOUT INTERNET. If you repeatedly refresh multiple news sources, you'll get repetition.

I subscribe to a lot of feeds that relate to a certain underachieving hockey team that I know deep down in your soul you have a soft spot for, Steve. Anyway, if they so much as sign an AHL-bound sixth defenceman, I can count on seeing the news about 10 times over the course of the day. It's the same no matter what your interest is.

I kept it brief - a job change noted for those who cared. Guess I could have been even briefer. ABC News may be fading along with all the U.S. network news divisions, but it's still a major force in U.S. news, so the position itself is influential and newsworthy.
