He seems like the type of guy who'd say a man can't rape his wife.

This is shit programming. Are you guys being serious right now, this is CNN? CNN should be ashamed, and anyone who wastes their time watching this shit-show should really question themselves.

CNN is an embarrassment, a joke. They live up to their name, Chicken Noodle News.

- but, yes, much of American cable TV political "news coverage" these days consists of shouting matches between highly partisan talking heads and either network moderators or other highly partisan guests. Tom Tomorrow calls them "yelling heads."

CNN is focused on one goal above all: audience ratings (and, by extension, advertising revenue).

If you want real TV journalism, check out Democracy Now! with Amy Goodman and Juan Gonzalez, or possibly the PBS News Hour with Gwen Ifill and Judy Woodruff.

Apparently it's only gotten worse. Nobody should take CNN seriously.

Another thing, they have accented "reporters" and "journalists" to make it seem like they are cosmopolitan and worldly. They admit that american "reporters" are taken less seriously (gee, I wonder why, maybe CNN's worthless, crappy "news" has something to do with american journalists being seen as trivial?) Their foreign accented "reporters" suck, too!

Chicken Noodle News.
What an embarrassment!

It's as if that film "Idiocracy" is coming true.

Why don't they just cut to the chase and film chimpanzees flinging poop at each other, since that is where cable "news" is eventually headed.
