This has nothing to do with personal finance but I found it somewhat pathetic:
We have troops deployed in many hostile areas. Our national debt is skyrocketing. Politicians are all maneuvering for election day. There are a million different things that actually matter to our country and our world going on right now and CNN breaks with this?
I’m so disappointed that this is what our country has become. No wonder so many of our citizens are disengaged from the real issues. Who are CNN’s peers? Perezhilton.com? TMZ.com? I would be embarrassed to be a journalist these days. The only ones that I respect are the ones that refuse to talk about Brittany, Lindsay, The View, Rosie, and on and on, and that actually confront the people running our country and other real newsmakers.
The definition of news seems to have shifted tremendously in this age of “continuous broadcasting” and “internet news”. Gone are the days of covering subjects that truly affect our society. Now news seems to be defined as anything that will increase traffic to the website or gain a few more audience members in the ratings. Whether you are interested in these inconsequential subjects or not, it sure doesn’t seem like anything about them should be streaming across the top of a major news organization.
