I don't think that analysis is accurate, CNN paid airport authorities for exclusive right to run its content on monitors throughout the airport. It was a business deal. Nothing to do with being 'middle'. Look up CNN Airport it was a closed circuit channel, & in the beginning its 24 hour content was a selling point.

CNN was founded by Ted Turner.
