Okay. I give up. I can no longer defend CNN as a "news" organization. Well, actually, I could, but like Melville's Bartleby -- I prefer not to.


When Ted Turner unveiled his marvelous 24-hour news creation in June, 1980, I was there. I was there as network conglomerates and corporate behemoths nervously derided Turner's vision, withheld advertising revenue, and forced him to establish CNN -- brick by ethical brick -- as the most trusted name in news.
I was there when the ravenous Rupert Murdoch grabbed a piece of the action with his FOX News Network, and CNN was caught like a deer in a Mack Truck's headlights. I submit that the JACKAL News Network more aptly describes Murdoch's voracious venture and, since I am relatively sure Murdoch has not copyrighted that particular title, I will henceforth refer to his network as "JNN." From the first day, JNN established itself as a rollicking, hypocritical, right-wing "all day singing and dinner on the grounds" picnic for the Republican Party in general and for George W. Bush in particular.


Yes, I hung in there, a bewitched glutton for punishment, as CNN fought for ratings by taking a frenzied wrong turn at every journalistic branch in the road. I was there as CNN head Walter Isaacson disgraced both himself and the network by scurrying through the halls of Congress, plaintively begging for the job as handmaiden to the stars. Upon his triumphant return, CNN "news" soon took a back seat to more trivial pursuits.
CNN helped to create the shadows of doubt that resulted in releasing back into society a national football hero who most likely not only viciously slaughtered his wife and her friend, but splattered his own beyond-a-shadow-of-doubt DNA over a two-block area. The down side to this debacle could be that CNN also created Greta Van Susteren in the process, who wasted no time in bolting to JNN where the seeds of her spin could flourish in more fertile soil.


CNN led the pack in a malicious crusade to overturn two legal elections and destroy a sitting president for almost having sexual relations with a plump intern who literally "thong-armed" him into disgrace. In spite of what CNN said, that woman -- Ms. Lewinski -- was old enough to know better. And so was the president, although to be impeached for lying about a sexual tryst is rather laughable, considering the lies of the current administration that have catapaulted us into bloody chaos in the Middle East. But that's another story -- and one you probably won't see on CNN...
