This press release, from CNN, makes a pretty good case for the strength of CNN Digital's operation.
TCG doesn't pretend to understand all these web metrics, but if one enters the three cable news websites--CNN.com, Foxnews.com, and MSNBC.com--into an independent site-traffic measurer, such as Alexa.com, it seems like CNN is a solid first, Fox is second, and MSNBC is a distant third.
As TCG notes, one day soon, Convergence will come, and then the web eyeballs will really make a difference for the mothership brand.
