A Great Headline

Politics aside, this is a great headline on CNN:

Bush uses ‘Internets’ to reach ‘The Google’

All CNN videos are in a pop-up, so I doubt many link directly to it (CNN’s loss), and the javascript that detects your Windows Media Player is very wonky in Firefox (allows me to at least watch on one machine, while it won’t let me in at all on other, despite having the latest plug-ins for both).

CNN news videos are nice, short segments and they have ads before you watch your first (and occasionally in between segments too?) so I assume they’re at least covering the costs of bandwidth.  By limiting in-bound links (intentionally or not) they’re really stunting their own growth and popularity.
