CNT

The Other Version of Events.

Format
Cable News
Twenty-four-hour rolling coverage of events that Weazel News has already covered from a different angle.
Editorial Position
Competing Bias
Where Weazel News has one bias, CNT has the opposite bias. Leonida viewers choose their preferred version and call it being informed.
Brand Name
Acronym Policy
CNT. The brand chose this. The brand is aware of how it reads. The brand retained it.
Real-World Parody
CNN

Leonida Profile

CNT is Vice City's alternative to Weazel News, which is to say it is the second version of the same story presented from a different direction. Neither version is correct. Both versions are confident.

The rolling news format means CNT is on in the background of every Leonida bar, hotel lobby, and airport departure lounge. The ticker at the bottom of the screen provides information about events in the state. The information has been processed through an editorial position before arriving on the ticker. This processing is not disclosed.

In gameplay terms CNT is part of the ambient media landscape of Leonida. The brand will appear in television screens within accessible interiors, as background news audio, and on the occasional billboard advertising the channel with a tagline that does not clarify what the channel's position actually is. This is consistent with the real-world inspiration.
