I ask this because with soo much news happening world wide, all I see and hear on CNN is gossip news about political sex scandals.
Soo much time devoted to such bull, like that really matters to most poeple, that some senators is in the rest room looking for sex, geesh o.k. maybe one or twice you can listen to the stuff, but seeing the same stuff, hour after hour, day and night.
I'll exclude Anderson Cooper from this kind of reporting, He and his crew really put their lives on the line for true and responsable journalism.
Most news looks like it's edited to show happy happy stuff, all is well and nothing to worry about.
Allso I notice that when poeple are intervued on most events, they're mostly white, blond, blue eyed americans. Hey, many other people can allso speak english fluently.
Why dont we see more intervues with hispanics, asians, native americans, african americans, etc.
I guess in commercial journalism, they have to please the sponsers and not necesaraly the public.

Yes, CNN is very much into sleaze and sensationism. They had to do something to catch Fox, so they decided to take the low road.

If you want news, you'll have to go elsewhere besides cable "news" channels.

Amen to what you wrote here. I feel the same way. It is getting so we hardly ever hear any real news. If, they are not talking about Washington, DC and all the sex scandals, then we get to hear about Paris, Britney, Nicole and Lindsay. That is when I turn the channel, quick.

I say enough already, of course I am not a sponsor of theirs. I am a citizen, with an opinion.
