BeeR Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 (edited) Here are the vast majority of CNN.com's actual top headlines (I deleted that stupid stuff that nobody cares about like Bush's immigration bill being defeated, etc so we could concentrate on the good stuff below). Repeat, I did not make any of this up: SI.com: Benoit's doctor's office raided KPHO: Diabetic kicked off train, now missing Girl, 7, says she is trapped in a boy's body Stuck passenger confronts pilots on hot plane Bacteria eat boy's face; docs try to restore it Funny Lunch: JibJab's bizarre, sexy videos Beheaded bodies reportedly found Transgendered 7-year-old (6:02) CNN's Paula Zahn speaks with a transgendered 7-year-old and her family Just can't buy great news like this Edited June 28, 2007 by BeeR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Misfit Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 I never watch any of these network news outlets, but when Paris Hilton went back to jail, I took the time to watch. Kept switching among CNN, Fox and MSNBC. I laughed my ass off. Geraldo was screaming on Fox that he had done extensive legal research, and no one in the country had ever gone to jail for driving without a license (not true, btw). Over on CNN, the talking head kept reporting how people were crying out at a news conference, even though it was just one big man who was clearly making a joke of it all. They do serve a purpose, though. If people tell you they watch any of those network news shows, they are telling you they are pretty clueless about much in life. And if they actually try to claim one is superior to another one, you know the day they were able to remove the cap off an aspirin bottle without resorting to the instructions, it was a banner day for them intellectually.
