    CNN

    Just got this via email. Great morning laugh.
    As a proud member of the Time Warner
    family, CNN is not just searching for people with degrees in journalism or
    telecommunications. We want employees who -- above all -- have a passion for
    delivering news in fast, accurate and compelling ways to the global public. As
    the world's largest and most prestigious network, CNN is interested in creative
    and energetic people with diverse perspectives and talents to participate in the
    company's growth. more information...

    Wha?

    So CNN doesn't want people with technical skills who've been trained in how to report... they want people with passion who don't neccesarily know what the hell they are doing?

    Are they trying to turn into FoxNews?

    Candidates with industrial experience - especially in the fabrication specialties - to the head of the line, please.

    Would they be in line before, or after, the candidates with experience in writing fiction?

    Good question. Is CNN an EOE? In that case, get both!

    Sigh. I miss the heady days of fab and machine software as a potential career choice. Didn't last.

    "Are they trying to turn into FoxNews?"

    Faux News never was on the agenda, with the Turner brand on the can it's been Chicken Noodle News from day one. You know, chicken noodle soup without the chicken.
