[rant] CNN going down the tubes…
I am watching CNN’s Glen Beck slam the New York times on the McCain story. During the news segment he interviewed some guy who used to be the spokesman for US Congress representatives who said the New York Times had become like bloggers – “who sit in their basement on a dial-up line and spread rumors.”
Is this really news? Is this what people want to hear at 7pm from a TV news organization? What does this tell us about how people consume news and how they make decisions in this country?

Well, Francois, any words of complaint that come after “I am watching Glen Beck” are going to be problematic for me. It’s like opening a blog entry with “I was soaking towels in kerosene and lighting small fires in my bedroom last night, when all of a sudden…”

Too funny…but true.
But the fact is that if I wanted news a few years back, I would tune into CNN Headline News. Now if I do that, I get all those loonies instead.
