why cnn sux

Television’s best channel CNN simply cannot breathe in this environment, where the only truthful way to cover the oil spill is to make it all negative, all the time. Is that really *news*? Everyone at CNN knows that something only qualifies as “news” when one side says it’s a bad thing, while the other necessarily says it’s good for America. Can CNN 50/50-ize this likely worst-in-a-generation event into a proper “news” story? They’re gonna try, apparently, sometime after 4:00 this afternoon!
