So today, as I do everyday, I visited CNN.com and this was the list of top stories on the front page:
·Stimulus price tag drops below $800 billion
·Red, blue voters say stimulus gives them zilch
·CNNMoney: Bankers say they are lending
·Girl's dad: 'All I want is my child'
·'All heck broke loose' in Lone Grove
·Roland Martin: Don't be my Valentine
·Ticker: 'Daily Show' invades White House
·Woman tosses newborn into lake, cops say
·Airport uses radar, noise to scare off birds
·WZZM: Vandals disable 38 school buses
·SI: Why Brett Favre means it this time
·Car wash chokes woman with her scarf
·Eating his way to 6-pack abs with 16 eggs a day
·18-foot python attacks tot; parents charged
·Why you're likely to marry your parent
·Time: Competence: Is your boss faking it?
·iReport.com: Unleash your inner Abe
·Teachers win $76 million in lottery
·CNN Wire: Peanut company execs refuse to...
Do any of you see anything wrong here? Out of 19 stories listed 4 are worthy of front page news, the rest might as well be in an issue of The National Inquirer or Inside Edition. Where the hell is the news? How does “Car Wash Chokes Woman with Her Scarf” affect my life? This is freakin’ CNN!!!!
With everything we are facing in this country 15 of 19 stories are about things, people, events that do not affect my or your daily life. They are freak show events that have pretty, interesting or gruesome pictures/video to go along with it. I don’t care “Teachers win $76 million in lottery,” nor do I care “Why Brett Favre means it this time,” and you all know I love the Daily Show but really, the Daily Show going to the White House is worthy of a Ticker post?
How can I be a grumpy old man at 34 years old?
