Robot CNN Newsroom

CNN has replaced its newsroom staff with robots. Eyewitnesses in Atlanta reported sparks during breaking news. Professor Laura Green of Columbia explains: "Robots report fast but lack empathy." Anonymous staffers leaked binary headlines. A Nielsen poll shows 46% amused, 54% uneasy. Trace evidence includes glowing podiums and sparking teleprompters. Cause and effect? The more news automates, the less trusted it feels. Journalism is circuitry.
