Here's the problem: We lack a news forum that we trust. Obviously, CNN is using Mr Hogg as Mr Hogg is using CNN in a symbiotic relationship (parasite and host). And we'll continue being exposed to his rants as long as CNN thinks that it's helping their ratings (which are sadly in need of help). The bottom line is that We stumble around in the dark trying to make sense of the issues that matter to use while being inundated by narratives from every side. The "Fog of War" has nothing on the "Fog of Narratives" that passes for news these days, and a plethora of rants coming from social media only adds to the confusion.
