Look at this

This is just f**king puerile (about two moles removed from Bush's face, a fairly common thing for an old person).

I keep meaning to stop going to CNN (mainly on account of them pretending that miniscule blurbs of news are worthy of a headline) but I'm so used to plugging in that tiny URL that it's just second nature. Damn CNN!

Yeah, the headline sucks.
Yeah, I've been in couselling and drug programs for the past 18 months. I got badly into crack as a result of coming upon one too many "BREAKING NEWS" stories from CNN about a celebrity's favorite dessert.

I was thinking the same thing when I read that this morning.

Shame on you, CNN. You're turning into a tabloid.

Sadly they figure since Fox is beating them in the ratings, if you can't beat them, join them..... they appear to be heading in the same direction in terms of producing quick-hit drivel aimed at ratings rather than good in depth reporting.

They are turning into left wing whackjobs. Anything to discredit the president. It is getting rather pathetic. Fox News is good and they destroy their competition - mainly because their primary mission isn't to assinate traditional values.

I don't know, i think that's a catchy title. I've seen worst puns and wordplays in the papers as well.

Well i'm no fan of Fox News Headlines, but that is not why they are beating the snot out of the competition. It is because the majority of Americans don't like the smear merchants from all the liberal networks. Pretty much every liberal network is losing viewers like it had the plague.

Actually, you were the one that came in here spouting politics and morals/values....

As for the headline: meh, it made me chuckle.

Not really...I'm fiscally very conservative, socially I lean slightly liberal though. Both CNN and Fox News are terrible. I'll occasionally look filter through their celebrity worship articles to find a few good articles.

Over-reacting just a bit?
