Mealy ?

Mark Thompson has been trying clarify his plans to save CNN, with a Friday afternoon all-staff email. It outlined the strategy under five headings:  “Building our digital future,” “A global integrated multimedia news operation,” “Future-proofing TV production,” “Developing new sources of revenue” and “Communication and culture.”

The New York Post has found some unimpressed employees....

One insider shrugged off Friday’s memo as yet another mealy-mouthed word salad from the British-born Thompson, a former honcho at the New York Times and the BBC.

“It’s a five-point plan to make five-point plans,” said the media executive. “In other words, there is no plan, but we are really planning to make lots of plans. And rest assured, there are lots of people overseeing the planning to make plans. And Mark is overseeing all of the people planning to make plans. So don’t worry. We’ve got this totally under control!”
