Dear CNN
Here’s what I emailed CNN this morning. I have about zero chance of anyone paying attention to it. They’ll see my reference to Obama and think “Oh, Obama-bot” and shitcan the whole message, if it even gets that far. Oh well, it still feels good to have said it:
After watching your election coverage over the past couple of months, I’m pretty much convinced that it’s mostly just entertainment. When you push stories just to stir the pot, for example by re-surfacing the baseless claims that Obama is not patriotic because he doesn’t wear some stupid lapel pin, you guys are no better than the contrived conflict moron-a-thon that is reality tv. I’m done watching CNN. Sad a bit about it too, because Anderson Cooper, is a worthwhile journalist. But the rest of your network is contrived, beautified, airbrushed, talking-head shite. Really, you guys are getting your butts kicked by bloggers, which is crazy because they have such limited resources compared to you. And don’t worry, I won’t switch to MSNBC either. They’re just as bad.
