CNN -- what kind of a sad commentary on life this is when...
 

CNN breaks into their regular news broadcast for a "special news update"....

(((drumroll)))

Sarah Jessica Parker just had a mole removed.


really


Are you fucking kidding me?

I realize most news networks pander to the lowest common denominator but isn't this getting a bit ridiculous?

cnn did that? they're usually pretty good

Well to be fair to them, it was a huge fucking mole...

WTF? What show were you watching on CNN??

:1orglaugh

CNN just seems to suck lately.. There's tons of news going on in the world but you'd never know it watching CNN.. with them it's all US politics and celeb crap these days.

In other news.....

According to the Government Accounting Office, each American household owes $455,000. This is your share of the $53 trillion in of long-term liabilities held by the U.S.
-------------------
The International Monetary Fund - which oversees third-world economies - are so concerned about the solvency of the U.S. economy that they are conducting a complete audit of the whole US financial system

Did Anderson Cooper keep the mole honest ?

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Isn't that also called a " CLIT "

thats why i stick to bbc

Actually a guy on local radio here was talking about this, and apparently it actually was pretty big.

:1orglaugh

So they removed her face?

/not a fan... and I don't care...

You seriously do get better US news from BBC. At least you only hear the actual important things. CNN is more like The Onion every day

That's a serious insult to the Onion.

We need a new war

They play a clip on Howard Stern from a news show (not sure which one) where they have a guy on talking about 9/11 and the people that were killed there and they interrupt him to announce that Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez had broken up. It was pathetic.

Don't blame CNN. Blame the average American twit.

As a for profit "news network", they are going to report what they think will bring the most eyeballs to the screen regardless of said thing's "newsworthiness".

Yes, north against south ....

She looked like a witch with it.might be a slight improvement

Things like 9/11, the Iraq thing, the Afganistan thing, are all old news. It's a reversal of sorts really. Used to be the regular old news when nothing else was going on was the celeb crap, and they'd break into that stuff with the real breaking news about war, world crisis', etc. Now it's the other way around.

You'd think CNN would hold themselves to a higher standard, but sadly they don't. Do any?

CNN with a higher standard.. hmm..

They are suckered all of the time it seems. Is it "news" to go on a campaign where everyday during the "news", you have a banner asking "should hillary quit?" with panels of surrogates from obama, clinton and mccain voicing their considered opinions on this breaking news issue? This breaking news issue that nobody was asking except people in the news business? Self serving fucks. It USED TO BE absolutely taboo to BECOME the story when tasked with reporting it. Now they practically invite it to happen.

I always will remember Wolf Blitzer declaring "The duke university players are NOW innocent" when the charges against them were dropped. Brilliant, Wolf. Because as we know, in America, you are presumed non-innocent until the charges are dropped. Yep, well said.

Nobody questions the premise anymore, and thats about the only reason we've ever needed a free press for. Now it really might as well be labeled as "entertainment".

They should change their name to CENN, Cable Entertainment News Network... Selections from the Latest News and More News main lists of new "stories" on CNN, right now:

# No panic, financial planners say 42 min
# Ticker: Obama may be a socialist, McCain says
# Sky diver misses target, hits band Video
# Man counted calories, subtracted pounds
# iReport.com: Did you see Batman?
# CNNMoney: Top 25 places for singles

# Yikes! 8 ft. snake found in laundry
# Fat, floppy bellies win this contest
# Nine weird ingredients in makeup
# Jimi Hendrix featured in 'Guitar Hero'

the mob wants/needs to be entertained. as peoples attention span gets shorter and shorter, the news gets more and more retarded.

Totally agree here. that looks like the headline list on People Magazine or some shit like that.

you cant put too much faith in any news station that DOESNT have a pledge drive.

Good post.

This country is completely fucking ass backwards.

CNN and Fox News make a beautiful couple.

Do like me, stick to Bloomberg and CNBC.

So she left Mathew Broderick? :helpme
