It's called infotainment. They're going to run stories that garner attention. That's what makes them money.

I thought it was funny that he chose CNN as representative of "news" in the US. :lol: If you ever want to have your intelligence insulted watch Robin Meade on Headline News for about ten minutes - it makes Entertainment Tonight seem highbrow. :shock: It's embarrassing to see our population following Swamp People, Honey Boo Boo, the Kardashians, etc. and they can't tell you what's happening in the world that truly matters.

I've transitioned to the Detroit Pawn show. It's a nice combo of Pawn Stars and people testifying in the Zimmerman case.
