2. It's true that CNN
does a lot of entertainment and celebrity stories for ratings, but I think that it's a mistake to attribute this to laziness or ignorance. I think they use these stories to attract non-political viewers to watch their political propaganda. I think that they are trying very blatantly to elect *, probably because of tax cuts, and their coverage is slanted to do that. They are now worse than any other cable network, which is not easy considering the competition.

3. stoking the culture wars
create a phony controversy that people are supposedly going to talk about at the water cooler, if they have jobs.
