The problem with CNN right now is that they have blurred the lines so badly that your idea for wearing tags marked with O and R would be changed several times per segment. There are times when the reporters are informing us and mixing in their take on things. The closest thing you'll get to objective news on CNN these days is at the top of the hour.

I do appreciate and agree with many of the analysts they have on the network: Fareed Zakaria, Jake Tapper, Gloria Borger, etc. But when it comes to the news, I just want the straight goods.
