Here is a story about CNN. Key paragraph:
CNN’s warped obsession with reporting about supposed adultery demonstrates a larger problem at the once-proud and groundbreaking channel. CNN’s focus is not on news, but on distracting itself and the nation’s news consumers with peripheral and sensation gibberish that fails to enhance the national dialogue. In the run-up and aftermath to the recently passed government spending bill, CNN mentioned McDougal and Daniels more than three times as often as the spending bill. The spending bill, of course, isn’t photogenic, but it impacts citizens way more than a playmate model.
Just remember: This is the cable network that provided nonstop coverage of the crash of the Malaysian airliner, which had (and has) no world-historical significance. It also provided a forum for the agitators and thugs in Ferguson, Missouri, many of whom continue to lie about what happened there. CNN is not a news organization; it is the National Enquirer of the airwaves.
