Great way to increase CNN viewership

They found a great way to rescue the sinking CNN ship. Lets pay people to watch. Of course I never owned a Tee Vee so I can't do this.

Wow, that's a prime example of how science does not work, and that Yale shouldn't be called university any more, but political party instead. Of course, lame stream media instantly loved that study, e.g. Washington Post

Yeah, uhm... How's that business model supposed to work again?

CNN, the most crusted name in news, will charge advertisers more than other networks so that they can skim off the top and pay people to watch? Will they have to select only viewers in the target demographics to pay to watch?

I imagine they will need more funding to do that. Public broadcasting to the rescue?

Seriously, we're about to see a serious upheaval in how we get our news and even entertainment. Think BBC but WAY worse.
