I'm not sure I've ever been more disgusted with CNN as a news organization, milking this tragedy for everything they can.

Anyone recall Don Henley's "Dirty Laundry"?

"Can we film the operation?
Is the head dead yet?
You know, the boys in the newsroom got a
Running bet
Get the widow on the set!
We need dirty laundry"

2. Tragedies are delightful cash cows for news organizations.
On CNN right now they're filming the van carrying Schiavo's corpse as if it were a police chase.
