CNN cobblers

[srebbe64]

I don't normally watch CNN, I prefer the BBC or Sky News. However, I'm currently on holiday and CNN is all that's available. So I turn on the telly, and I hear the interviewer ask the following question:

"How would you categorise the specificity of the unrest, is it considered to be restricted to a localised region, or does this have the long or short term potential to become a multi-regional or indeed a multi-country state of unrest."

What a load of cobblers! Why not ask "is the unrest just local or is it more widespread".
Maybe these American journalists are paid by the syllable!

Title of your next topic

"On holiday, as I'm away from the office, what random things should I be annoyed at"

Solution to the CNN (Communist News Network)is FOX; to the point and un-PC. People will jump on me for this because FOX bashing is fashionable, but consider please: each week on average a school and hospital, new or refurbished, opens in Iraq. This is "good news" that Fox consistently shows (along with the bad). What I have found is that NONE of the other networks bother to aire any of the "good news", yet FOX takes all of the hits. Like I said, it is fashionable....like your chavs wearing Burberry.

Slow news day, they need to pad stuff out as much as possible, lets face it you only need about 5 mins to say what happened today, the other 24 hours are just filler.

Or

"Work is too easy, need a holiday to raise blood pressure"

A cruise does appeal, I saw one that went to the arctic cricle in summer, meant to be spectacular

IMO, CNN is a not News but tittle tattle and speculation. Sadly, the BBC and ITV networks appear to be going much the same way.

I found during the recent terrorist attacks the only source of "Fatual News" was the internet.
