The Washington Post Loves Cord Cutters
If you have successfully weened yourself from cable TV and the various news outlets, then you may have already found alternative sources for your news fix. But if you haven't or need another push to cut the cord on your cable subscription, The Washington Post may have the answer. "The Washington Post’s new daily news show The Fold is interesting for a number of reasons: It debuts on Google TV and was made specifically to be viewed on connected TVs, and its target audience are cord cutters who don’t watch cable news anymore." Will a 15 minute news program satisfy your need? For those that keep their TV tuned to MSNBC or Fox News, it frankly may not be enough. But it may be the first step in a 24 hour, online only, linear news stream.
