Is CNN effin' nuts???!!
What is this business about the Pope going to Turkey so their big programming teaser is "Are we in for a holy war?" We don't have enough problems in the world but these cable new programs need to gin up some more hatred and controversy to make "news."

3. I don't want to fight either.
I would like to know what that picture of the cute little statue is that you have there. Is that some sort of new cartoon character?

4. They sure ask a lot of questions, don't they?
That question mark at the end of all of their screen headlines is starting to get burned into my TV...

7. Yes!
They are NUTS.. It;s no longer "enough" to report the news.. they feel compelled to MAKE the news, tweak it to their agenda, and then report on it..

:puke:

13. The people writing headlines and teasers should seriously be reigned
in. These attempts at humor and drama are both tragic and sensationalistic.

Dont't worry, my question was rhetorical, too.

15. Not only that but they make reference to "civil war" ONLY with a
question mark after it.

I wrote about it here, humbly submitted...
