Amazing. Here’s what CNN calls news. Seven of thirteen stories on the home page are irrelevant. We’re living in a world gone mad. Never in history has the news media been more needed to inform the public. Never in U.S. history have they failed so miserably. Raunchy mannequins, chimps, bad kissers and fur-clad piglets. Now that’s what I call news!!!
How about global warming, peak oil, Alberto Gonzales, Andrew CArd, Larry Craig, President Bush’s signing statement designed to skirt congressional oversight, just to name a few. How about the rising cost of food and gasoline that never gets counted in inflation figures, or $4.50 for a half gallon of milk on $6.00 minimum wage? Where’s the reporting on the pending contempt of congress for Hariet Miers? How about the drought. Or how about a story about people committed to making peace in the world. Instead we get chimps. Maybe that’s what we have at CNN, chimps.
