1. From my perspective, a newspaper at my door is something I have to bend down to pick and transport to my garbage can or a table near the elevators so that someone with any use for it can have it. No newspaper is a plus for me and I suspect that I'm not nearly alone in that.
2. CNN is the path of least resistance. Most people expect lounge TVs to be set to CNN. I've seen a few lounge TVs on Fox, but I've also seen people complaining about it.
