Wolf Blitzer & CNN Decide to 'Laci Petersonize" Tsunami Coverage
Edited on Tue Jan-04-05 05:36 PM by Vinnie From Indy
Today's daily reminder that the mainstream media has become nothing but a vast landscape of corruption and fantasy is on display on CNN. Wolf Blitzer leads off his broadcast by breathlessly reporting that tsunami victims are being abducted to use in sex rings. It seems CNN believes the most important story in regard to the Tsunami is a single alleged child snatching. It is beyond belief that millions are facing all manner of potentially fatal conditions and CNN devotes the majority of it's tsunami coverage trying to "sex up" the tragedy.
