CNN

I always was aware of CNN and its very personalities. It was a very nice network to have around. I need news, I turn on CNN. Simple, that MUST be what a 24 hour news network is for. I always considered myself someone who watched CNN and respected its existence. I did not get all the complaining about 24 hour news networks.

I've watched a lot of CNN since I started going to the gym. It is always on one of the TVs.

Now I realize where all the complaints come from.

Complaint 1: Redundancy!
- How many times and for how long can we talk about the same story with little to no relevance on the real world? One of the top stories today was that John McCain's wife released her tax information. BIG DEAL. I really need to know what that dastardly Senator's wife has been up to with her taxes all these years. They analyzed it! Wolf Blitzer guaranteed analysis of it! We don't need this! Who even wants this!?

Complaint 2: Lou Dobbs
- The biggest pompous idiot this side of Bill O'Reilly. Try watching him on subtitles while working out. He might be worse WITHOUT sound. Scary...

Complaint 3: Ah screw it...
- My brain has melted from Lou Dobbs...
