Reply #14: I weep for CNN. [View All]

Grew up watching that channel. Still remember the horror of Columbine from my perch on a hillside in East KY. Today I can't bear to watch it. It was so pro-McCain in 2008 that I switched to MSNBC. (which was a last resort, believe you me! I'll take Turner over Gates any day.) Unfortunately Ted Turner no longer runs the place, which probably has a great deal to do with their fall from grace. Now I guess they're going to go the way of the USA Network: the also-ran with islands of good programming once every few years (or segments of nudity, anyway), but otherwise just a bunch of amateurish hyjinx.

Though personally, I'm getting tired of talking heads altogether. It's not like a guy making half a million dollars a year can sympathize with people who are wondering if they'll be able to pay the rent next month, or keep the electric on through next week. Celebs just aren't my cup of tea.
