^^ The problem is a lot of times (I can't say I watch CNN with any regularity as I mostly get news from postings here and other sites), the things these shows discuss in themselves are untrue. For example, the whole topic of Obama's birth certificate, or claiming, he is a Muslim (like it should make a difference) or has "socialist agenda's" (like it's a bad thing to want health care for everyone) or whatever, and then discussing those things like they are even up for debate. The President is American, it's not up for debate. The President is not a Muslim, not that it should really matter, but to claim otherwise and then debate about the degree to which is Muslimness goes is just filling people with false information. If I do happen to flip to these channels I regularly see stuff like this spewed across their tickers while the hosts discuss Kim Kardashian's comments on some irrelevant matter, or her baby bump or whatever. That is where I take issue with the current news channels. That stuff is not news and takes away from actual world events. They discuss those things because thats what their audience is interested in. I while average housewife in the states may be more interested in what Kardashian has going on than chimcal bombs in Syria (God help us), that does not make it news worthy. She can switch over to ET for that.
