CNN International's Tony Maddox recently announced that CNN is working on expanding its news gathering operations worldwide, therefore would not renew its contract with news agency Reuters.

Inside Cable is noting that CNN really could've used video from Reuters of the new Bin Laden tape. It went with Al-Jazeera International's video, 30 minutes after all other domestic news operations, which was provided coincidentally by Reuters.

Should it have dropped its relationship with Reuters before they expanded their news gathering operation?
