What CNN calls the news

April 27, 2007 at 1:34 pm

Sometimes you just have to wonder in what order newsstations and newsmags put their respective news. Not that there aren’t enough newsworthy stories happening all around the globe every day, with people (still) getting killed in Iraq, Dafur, etc. and all the political stuff that happens around the clock.

But somehow CNN probably thought it would interest much more people to hear about “Sheryl Crows toilet paper square”, “Heather Mills tumbling out of a dance show” or that a suspect bolted out of a local court room “hollering for mom”.

I never really thought of CNN as one of the best news around, there are lots of better informed ones, and especially more objective ones. But this frontpage just screams “boulevard tabloid” to me:

    Yeah poor world i always thought that CNN is a propaganda TV-Channel for the whole world that we see what the US thinks about different wolrd political topics. But i never thought that there hompage is such a crap. A good evidence thats shows how the news a changing and what many people seems to intresstet in.

    But its really cool that a camel killed a women. I think later in the text you will see that they mean the sort of cigarett ;)
