"Newsroom culture clash" at CBS News

The networks are doing prime time specials for the 4th of July. NBC will do it's annual Macy's show from New York harbor. ABC will be in Nashville.

CBS will be in Washington DC, with a special hosted by CBS News anchor Tony Dokoupil:

Mine are accuracy, speed and objectivity, in that order. And on those measures CNN does very well. (Almost as good as NPR, though their pictures can only be viewed inside your head.)
