I like this one. I guess because in the movie, she had the same glasses.

some of the cover photos from other countries were WTF?!

I'm going to go out on a limb here and assume that you never read Lolita.

Tell me--this is your first time learning that Nabokov was the author?

 

[Rakehellion]

Click 20 times to see 20 images? Nah.

It's no use, he sees her
He starts to shake and cough
Just like the old man in
That book by Nabokov

Don't stand, don't stand so
Don't stand so close to me
Don't stand, don't stand so
Don't stand so close to me

CNN is really copying FOXNEWS website bigtime now. Foxnews website has long maintained a significant sex content with there Poptarts section etc. Looks like CNN thinks they can become as popular and well paid as Foxnews if they sex up there website. It looks like there new business model is clickbait.

Their channel is unwatchable with the analysts now. Fair and balanced is apparently, let's find the most controversial and extreme two opinions we can find and see how many people we can piss off.

In college i was amazed how many haven't read it. they just go off what popular culture defines "Lolita" as.

Well, Foxnews is the "fair and balanced" network but CNN is also unwatchable. As you indicated they bring in hacks from both parties to discuss issues and I guess they think that equals balance -- it does not. It isn't about throwing light on issues just about throwing heat on it.

They like bringing in the party hacks as they're an easy get -- they bring up there contact list for the D's and R's and make a couple calls and they are guaranteed to get someone to come on the show. They get to pretend that doing this is a sign of there balance, but in truth they really prefer the heated arguments to sober discussion.

Perhaps the best example of this was there show Crossfire.

On top of that they aren't even in the news business most evenings as they appear to want to morph into a reality network.

I think people just don't want to admit they read it. Society is full of cunts. If you read a book about gays, you must be gay. If you read a book about pedophiles, you must be a pedophile.

That was immediately what came to my mind.

All of which is why I stopped going to cnn.com and switched to reuters.com as my primary go-to internet news site.

I hope this was years ago. CNN has been total shit for quite a while now.

Unfortunately Vice has become a fucking mess. Their Youtube channel is just shit now, they post like 20 videos a day, half of which are like half minute teasers for 5 minute long videos, and they have like 2 of this "news of the day" but the videos say they can't load or something. I had to unubscribe because of how impossible it was to sort through their shit. The separate Vice News channel is really slow about content and has had a bunch of very meh stories lately. I was checking their thing on Google Newsstand but it stopped updating for no apparent reason. They also stopped putting their Vice on HBO episodes on there.

PBS/Newshour is still decent. Reuters and Associated Press are ok.

Google news, that's all you need
