I don't know who else has picked this up, but CNNI are trying to hide the 'America's New War' title that all the CNN programmes are using, with their 'War On Terror' title. A bit naff, really, as you get Aaron Brown (or whoever) sitting in front of a massive screen/video wall with 'America's New War' on it, and 'America's New War' is slapped all over the web site. Why are they bothering to hide it?

I was in the US over the attacks til last weekend, and CNN US did a superb job, but when I got back, I thought just how naff CNNI was looking, amateurish crashing of idents, cutting reports in half and no end of mess-ups.

And finally, I got addicted to CNN's America's New War theme.
Does anyone know where an mp3 (or whatever) copy of the theme is? CNNI keep playing three seconds of it.

Til later

I agree that CNN US's coverage was fantastic, and that CNNI really detracted from this by cutting into it with their poor 'global reaction'. I can see why they did it, though, as presumably they were worried that the domestic service wouldn't adequately serve the needs of viewers in other parts of the world - the middle east especially - in relation to the story.

But, from what I saw of the CNN US coverage, this certainly wasn't the case.
