WE WILL COVER THE END OF THE WORLD, LIVE: With a 25-person staff, CNN first went on the air 30 years ago today with Ted Turner's words in the tagline. Over that 30 years, CNN has, along with the rest of the news business, transformed from the original "2 people behind a desk" format to the technological wonderland of holograms and magic screens that they'll bust out on election night, has spawned at least a couple of clones and become a political and pop cultural institution. Without getting overtly political, talk to and (if you can) link the video--though it's not newsworthy, I'll have to go with Rick Sanchez getting tasered.
