Stephen Colbert on CNN’s firing of approximately 50 journalists after the network completed a study on the quality of user generated content it was receiving via platforms such as iReport. 

Colbert nails it. You savvy kids and your social tumblin’ are gonna be the death of us all.

Nice commentary. I realize it’s a business built on revenues (or lack thereof), but my goodness – consistent high-quality journalism continues to take hits. Or, maybe CNN is brilliant?
