Everytime I see CNN's homepage, I just want to throw my face into my palm.

They have a lot of legitimate things on their webpage that I would expect on a news organization's webpage that is devoted to politics (I'm not here to debate any political bias). Nothing irks me more than turning on the TV and seeing them talking some fucking celebrity or seeing it on their front page. If they want to have a "famous" people's section, fine by me, but I wish they would put all their stupid shit in one section.

Anyway. A few examples:
Whether he sang it or not, Justin Bieber sure can sell it
http://www.cnn.com/2010/TECH/web/08/23/justin.bieber.song/index.html?hpt=C2

What's bad about this one, is it's filed under CNN's TECH section. Really guys? REALLY?

Overdose No Accident, Says Fantasia – 'I Wanted Out'
http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20414919,00.html?xid=email-peopledaily-20100823-20414919&hpt=C2

While found on CNN's front page, it does at least go to people.com's website. But still. KEEP THE FUCKING GOSSIP BULLSHIT OFF OF A NEWS SITE!

Here's from our friends at Fox News:
'Fuming' Lohan Wants Apology From Court
http://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/2010/08/23/exclusive-fuming-lindsay-lohan-wants-apology-courts-cocaine-claims-source-says/

At least this is filed under "Entertainment," but get this bullshit off of a front page. Who fucking cares about this dumb cunt? Maybe a grave injustice was done to her, but her jail time wasn't served in vain, as it was punishment for hogging up the front page of news websites, with your inane drama.

And of course on Fox News, if you scroll down, you can find a little section devoted to entertainment news. This doesn't bother me, as it's not on the top of the page, which is the first thing people see.

And MSNBC had the same Fantasia story as CNN, although it's in small little letters at the top of the page, it's still at the top of the page. Simply stupid.

lol
you visit cnn

I agree. There should be more transparency and honest disclosure as to what's presented as news versus what's presented as entertainment.

I, for one, loathe [commercial] sports. That is not news.

Just head over to http://www.nydailynews.com where you will find: not news about New York but about the Chinese traffic jam

"Traffic jam along National Expressway 110 in China hits 9th day; expected to last a month "

^ That is retarded. Maybe they're trying to remind New Yorkers how good they have it?

"STORY HIGHLIGHTS Remix of Justin Bieber's "U Smile" has more than 1.6 million plays on Soundcloud.com Producer Nick Pittsinger says he slowed down the song 800 percent MTV disagrees, saying the song is actually an untitled song from the Photon Wave Orchestra"

^ Yeah, I read it. Is slowing down a song by 800% REALLY deserving of being in a tech section? Wait... Is it really news at all?

8/23/2010 1:16:23 PM

Shit's been everywhere the past week

I'd say it's news

8/23/2010 1:17:58 PM

"news" is the plural of "new"

8/23/2010 1:20:50 PM

merbig, indy, hambo in one thread

No way

I'm not walking into the fucking bear cave

^^^ What's been everywhere? The 800% slow down? Should ever single remix of every song done by some guy in a basement be featured on CNN's front page? Some dude slowed the song down. I wouldn't even think of thinking about considering it ground breaking.

8/23/2010 1:26:53 PM

Hey man

You can read some other shitty news site

Or direct your complaints to CNN

Or just huff and puff here like some one gives a fuck

8/23/2010 1:37:26 PM

I'll just huff and puff like someone gives a fuck. That's what 50% of the threads in chit chat consist of anyway.

News is business. and business caters to what the clientele wants. Right now people want dumb shit.

8/23/2010 1:44:09 PM

Oh fuck this has really shaken my deep faith in Fox News and CNN.
