CNN<\/em> executives realized it sent \u201ca similar signal to its shareholders,\u201d Jarvis said.<\/p>\nAccording to Jarvis, the ousters are part of a broader and continuing debate over how news gets generated and disseminated and what qualifies as news.<\/p>\n

And when you factor in the recent court judgments against Alex Jones and InfoWars<\/em>, it is obvious that the system is breaking and a day of reckoning was going to come at some point.
