It's hard to comment on something like this because Jon has basically said it all.

Yeap, he does a pretty nice job of showing how all of them are idiots, but CNN in particular. It's not hard to believe given Wolf Blitzer's awesome showing at Jeopardy. -I mean... come on.

But his final point is a scary one. The head of CNN essentially saying that it's okay to get it wrong, people will forget, what is important is to captivate.

Yes.

And I can't imagine CNN is the only company doing something like this.
