LOS ANGELES: AOL Time Warner Inc has ruled out any further consideration of merging its CNN cable news network with ABC News, saying such a combination is proving too problematic to pursue. 

The decision, announced on the air by CNN’s Moneyline host Lou Dobbs and followed by a brief corporate statement on Thursday, came months after word first surfaced of merger talks between CNN and ABC, a unit of Walt Disney Co.
