While this may or may not be true (I haven't checked), actual viewers - which is all that really matters - is very different. Fox news viewership is much higher than CNN and MSNBC. Believe it or not, it's actually almost as much as CNN and MSNBC combined.

Fox: 3,978,000
CNN: 2,510,000
MSNBC: 2,266,000

I'm not sure how what I said relates to you personally. My point was that with very few exceptions, software is pretty much always late, and always behind schedule. And if it's on time, it typically happens by dropping features/functionality (which you refer to as adjusting scope). And this is including at the giant corporations with unlimited budgets and the means to hire the best talent.

Fun fact: If Reagan came back today, you'd call him a socialist and a left-wing liberal nutjob. But hey, if you never actually look at his views and policies, you can forever imagine you're normal and sane.
Just like if Jesus would actually pop into existence right now.

I was pretty young when Reagan was around, can you give some examples?

Moscow Police Watch Pre-Recorded Scenes On Surveillance Cams 114

An anonymous reader writes "During several months of 2009, Moscow police looked at fake pictures displayed on their monitors instead of what was supposed to be video from the city surveillance cams. The subcontractor providing the cams was paid on the basis of 'the number of working cams,' so he delivered pre-cooked pictures stored on his servers. The camera company CEO has been arrested."

Analyst, 15, Creates Storm After Trashing Twitter 381

Barence writes "A 15-year-old schoolboy has become an overnight sensation after writing a report on teenagers' media habits for analysts Morgan Stanley. Intern Matthew Robson was asked to write a report about his friends' use of technology during his work experience stint with the firm's media analysts. The report was so good the firm decided to publish it, and it generated 'five or six' times more interest than Morgan Stanley's regular reports. The schoolboy poured scorn on Twitter, claiming that teenagers 'realize that no one is viewing their profile, so their tweets are pointless.' He also claimed games consoles are replacing mobile phones as the way to chat with friends."
