btw...and on the Boston Tragedy,
CNN should just quit; they can't decide whether it was the ghost of Timothy McVeigh or the ghost of Anwar al-Awlawki.
good day to stay away from tv,

(31,706 posts)...I agree...I used to watch CNN 24/7. The change began with the advent of faux noise (which was around the same time as Turner sold to Time/Warner) and the shift from information to opinion. It got worse in recent years with the loss of quality people like Bernie Shaw, Judy Woodruff, the late John Holloman and Aaron Brown. Wolfie is totally unwatchable and his "panel of experts" are even more insipid. I rarely watch it today...and looks like it's devolved even further under its latest management shake-up. I think MSNBC has done a very credible job in their coverage...minimizing opinion and sticking to the facts as they're being presented...

(7,515 posts)MSNBC seems to have learned the lesson...facts first, opinions later...much later.
