where Erin Burnett confirmed "These two brothers who are related". Thanks for clearing that up for us, CNN.

"The dog is barking. Perhaps something is going on because the dog is barking."

Or it's just barking because it's a dog.

I can't watch it anymore. I used to switch to watch Soledad when Joe got uglier than usual, but now I don't even have that option. When your main star is Wolf Blitzer, it's time to fold. What little credibility they had will not be regained with Erin Burnett.

Yup - CNN is dead. To be fair, all the news outlets are in heavy wank mode, but that's just ridiculous.

If they really reported that a dog is barking or if the post is satire.

is pretty much what Don Henley was singing about in "Dirty Laundry".

"We can do "The Innuendo," we can dance and sing
When it's said and done we haven't told you a thing
We all know that crap is king, give us dirty laundry"

Late last night around 3am I turned off the TV as CNN was showing a non-informative shot of lit-up police cars. I did a lot of other things, sat on the couch ten hours later, turned on the TV, and CNN was still showing the same shot.

CNN hasn't been a reliable source of information for many years now, but they are at a particularly low ebb this year.

The niche for an actual 24 hour television news service gapes so wide now. But I don't think it will ever be filled because the control of the flow of information is so much more valuable than the truth that almost anyone can be bought and turned into a propaganda and misdirection device.
