CNN Dumps Michael Moore For Paris Hilton

parisking.jpg Yesterday, CNN proudly announced that it has scored the first post-jail interview with Paris Hilton. To make room for Paris on Wednesday, CNN canceled its interview with Michael Moore about his new health care documentary SiCKO:

Hotel heiress and reality TV star Paris Hilton will give her first post-jail interview on CNN’s “Larry King Live” on Wednesday, the show’s spokeswoman said on Saturday.

“She will be on for the hour,” Bridget Leininger told Reuters. “We had (filmmaker) Michael Moore originally scheduled for that time.”

CNN, the “most trusted name in Paris news,” continues to sink to new lows in its “assault on reason.” Hilton is the latest “serial obsession,” though the network recently hired a reporter devoted to “covering things like Britney, as well as the Michael Jackson memorabilia.” Now CNN has ditched coverage of America’s broken health care system in favor of an hour-long interview of an incarcerated socialite.

ThinkProgress spoke with Moore’s team, who confirmed that CNN has not yet rescheduled the interview. SiCKO, which opens nationwide this Friday, sheds light on the health care crisis that the media covers poorly, when it covers it at all.

It's the only way to affect them.

11-12 days ago...

Hell, if CNN can make up any slogan it wants without backing it up, I can too.

.

glad to meet you "most trusted"

:) :hi:

:hi:
How you guys doing?

reporting for duty.

I've never seen such fear from the M$M over Moore's new movie, far more than F911 IMO.

Sick little bastards, I hope they choke on every dime they make.

It's sad the we live in a society that cares more about people like Paris Hilton than they do about issues that effect their own lives.

Gee, I thought Paris wanted the media and the public to pay more attention to important issues and not her. Surely she'll be willing to postpone her interview and give Mike her spot in light of her previous comments. :sarcasm:

Everyone I know wishes she would just go away.

"We have our priorities - smirk, smirk, smirk" - CNN

I will not be watching.

to FILL an hour interview.

Okay, maybe that's cruel.

...oh, I won't say it. It does rhyme with runt, however.

Will she be wearing red or blue?

Will she wear her hair swooped up, or hanging loose?

Is she going to be helping to raise the awareness of our health care system?

Perhaps she could talk about SiCKO.

After all it's REALLY SiCK that she would be allowed to bump Moore....

... DUers ROUTINELY dump everything under the sun, so that they can talk incessantly about Anna Nicole/The View/Paris Hilton. What CNN is doing is IN NO WAY different from what DUers themselves do on a regular basis.

If it's 85% or more then he's exactly right. 85% of DUers would much rather discuss Paris Hilton than real news. And the other 15% are starting threads along the lines of "Why is everyone talking about Paris Hilton..."

That is the point! Why do you think intelligent people get side tracked by tabloid nonsense? Well it doesn't help when all the "serious" news places cover tabloid drama as if it were news!

... And DUers have made it ABUNDANTLY clear that they'll happily gorge themselves on ANYTHING the media puts out there.

:rofl:

:puke: Had to throw in some extra syllables for that one.

Aside from being a worthless source lacking any credibility, you're more likely to be misinformed- or annoyed and angered by turning to that channel.

I don't see how in the world they will fill an entire hour with her. She gives one or two word answers for everything. Yes, she's very rich and beautiful, but she has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING OF IMPORTANCE TO SAY. Dare I say, she is even dumber than Bush!!

Oh wait, she's not qualified, never mind.

It's a SIN to watch CNN, they don't care about the people, if you're un or under insured, tough shit!

Maybe if Michael got a prison "tat", he'd be taken series.

(and I hope CNN's "share" is somewhere near zero)

happened to that? and whose "fuzzy math" gets her out wednesday? and WHO thinks that she deserves an HOUR of newstime?

slightest) that they have lost the last shred of credibility they had with me (and believe me, it was a VERY small shred). told them I would NEVER turn on their network again (gosh, I am sorry to hear that, and hope you don't mean it" from the little twit on the line)

that number, if anyone is interested, is 404-827-2600 and ext 2 for public affairs.

tomorrow, for sure. Sounds like their voice mailbox is "FULL" tonight, whatever that means.

Larry should be ashamed of himself.

The media moguls at CNN should be ashamed of themselves.

Lost me years ago in 2004 when they pandered to this pResident.

Only news station I watch is MSNBC and the "Daily Show" because it's at least more note worthy in its 10 mins of news then Cnn is 24 hr coverage of hollywood and missing white women.

LMAO @ the questions Larry comes up with. Hell no. LOL
