WTH is going on?!?!?! The first I've turned on CNN in a month and,...

[Just Me]

,...Paul Zahn and Larry King have both presented another facet/perspective on media-targeted "bad guys" (the Nichols story and the Jackson trial).

I AM FREAKIN' SHOCKED!!!!

1. I heard something about the Pope dying and that they got this new guy in?

[Tux]

2. I heard that too

It was in the ticker right? I think they covered it only for 30 seconds (give or take a month).

3. Since I tuned into CNN, I've not a whisper about the Pope.

I was flipping through channels nearly a couple hours ago and saw a Momma of two children killed in the Oklahoma City boming talking,...and tuned in. The stories have been compelling ever since.

Moreover, that "Nancy Grace" is getting her sell-out butt cornered about her glaring BIAS on the Jackson trial,...and it's really quite inspiring and refreshing to see a more multi-faceted coverage of "hot topics" rather than a unipolar (fascist) imposition.

I'd still prefer a "fact-based" reporting; but, at least there is an expansion of views and perceptions.

I am just sick and f*cking tired of a news media becoming the prosecutor/judge/jury of every single "case of the day" without the balance of REALITY!!!!

On edit: WHOOPS. Newsnight is on and Pope is the topic. Time to tune out now. Oh well, nirvana lasted for two whole hours,...which is pretty amazing in corporate media land,...these days.

4. Did they have anything about the fifty or so dead Iraqis

found floating in the Tiber and how it upset the new goverment's day that they were going to gloat about all that they have accomplished? Heard about it on Randi Rhodes today.

Strangely enough my local station carried the story, but their NY national broadcast new's affiliate didn't.
