Hang on. Have we moved on from the popular trend of blaming the audience? CNN is a product. If no one watched it ... blah blah blah. I hate almost all media anywhere, and I think the feeble excuse that they are catering to an audience that wants vapid shit is sad when CNN themselves claim to be "trendsetters" and responsible for directing the eye of the nation and so on. But there is a grain of truth there, and it's enough to leave me torn about who to blame. EDIT: thenewgreen said it better when I was typing. Sad but -- but -- systemic.
