In Isreal. They are unable to reach agreement in pricing. I wonder if Echostar is doing the negotiating for them.

I imagine it has something to do with Ted Trurner's pro-Palestinian stance and his comments about Israel being a terrorist nation.

Or, the Israelis just want their news to be "Fair & Balanced". :D

It's Ted Turners mouth that is getting CNN into trouble, even though Ted is no longer really involved in the day-to-day operations.

This news is also over a month old.

Actually, they had wanted to drop the channel a while back but just got the ok to do the deed.

I am sure Ted is the main reason since he is still a very major shareholder, along with the general slant presented.
