CNN: Cable? News? Nah.

I made a statement on a comedy stage at least 7 years ago that CNN was pretty much "like E! with a stock report at this point." How right I was. Look at this from the Liquid List. CNN's top stories bear no relation to news. Robert Blake found not guilty? Scott Peterson moved to San Quentin? "American Idol" makes its first cut?

Hey, producers, guys, look over here at Capitol Hill... seems like the US Senate just passed drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge... it's this thing they call news, see... Yeah, I know Jose Canseco isn't involved, but it actually has consequences for all Americans... it's what they call "worthy of being reported"!!!!!

Someone should really report news during the day. It'd be nice.
