CNN: 300% coverage of the missing airplane.

CNN is going crazy with this missing airplane. It's news, so cover it... but 23.99 hours a day? At this point, they are just making stuff up and offering nothing but conjecture. Why? Have they gone mad? Is there nothing better to report... like, say... a stabbing incident in a high school? Supreme Court decisions? What's going on with CNN?

I believe that they (CNN) have lost their legitimacy as a News network. Their focus now is on entertainment (not the entertainment industry, but entertainment in general) If they can be sensationalist about anything they will.. it's no longer about the facts.

Welcome to the world of no real news, without anything related to politics or some natural disaster, most news agencies or stations don't or can't broadcast anything pertinent that the nation really wants or needs to see.

All the national crisis's that are occurring such as the HS stabbings or Washington mud slide, and so on and so on. Hopefully they will wake up and let it go, or the plane will be found so they can start real reporting again.

Cut and paste from your discussion about the news:

"I don't watch the news at all. I have removed myself from that sort of influence. I get all of my news from two sources: objective media outlets online and from the two news organizations that really matter: The Daily Show With John Stewart and The Colbert Report. It is from those shows that I see anything of Fox News."

FOX has much better coverage of this!!

Sorry Chief I couldn't resist

Whatever is going to draw in the attention of the majority, will be the main focus of their coverage. CNN has turned from bringing us NEWS to just entertainment television. The same goes for the other Major NEWS stations.
