WebNewser writes about the large General Electric ad that's been sitting on the Foxnews.com homepage.

WebNewser has the scoop that, as of tomorrow, CNN.com is shutting down its live, continuous, anchored newscasts that have been a part of CNN.com Live:

WebNewser has learned Reggie Aqui, Nicole Lapin, Naamua Delaney and Melissa Long, the four primary anchors of CNN.com Live, are being let go as are several production staffers.

WebNewser also has the note CNN.com SVP KC Estenson sent to staff about the changes in staff and direction. CNN.com relaunched in late October.

WebNewser reports that CNN anchor Rick Sanchez's famous twitter account has been suspended this afternoon:

Here's the message anyone going to @ricksanchezcnn got today: "Sorry, the account you were headed to has been suspended due to strange activity. Mosey along now, nothing to see here."

As of 5:30pmET, the account was still "suspended." In the meantime, ricksanchezcnn followers, check out the funny exchange between Sanchez and TruTV's Ashleigh Banfield after the jump.

Update: WebNewser now reports that the account is not "suspended," but is just inaccessible to everyone.

WebNewser's David Cohen exposes some search skulduggery apparently on the part of ABCNews.com:

when a Google search was done on "NBC News," the result in the top sponsored link contained the headline, "Nbc News," but the URL said "ABCNews.go.com"
