Um, seriously. Cut it out about CNN and lay off already. If not for their hard hitting journalism, how would I find out how Obama "schools" (their word not mine) his hecklers, or this $98 stump of wood for hipsters, or even whether or not Brad Pitt suffers from "face blindness".

Seriously dude, if you just want to unplug and remain ignorant that's your deal, but you don't have to mock those of us who actually give a shit.

They presented news, and called it news. They now present a turd, and haven't changed the name.

True dat. I was watching a documentary a couple weeks ago where CNN in its infancy played a prominent role. What a shame. They sort of started out as a groundbreaking paradigm shifting alternative to network news, better on basically every front except technical polish. They ended up as something far worse. More profitable I'm sure, but far worse.
