[Chipper Chat]

5. Another sexual first on TV. A live butt-f*kk on camera.

It ranks right up there with Janet's boob glimpse.
(I don't know any 13 year old kid that was offended however. Just shocked adults).

6. Miley who??

[Blue_Tires]

7. Because Syria ain't got any tits or ass...Have you SEEN a scantily-clad Syria before?

It makes my balls shrivel up....

[Iggo]

9. Because you watch it.

Switch over to Al Jazeera America.

They got news there.

[loli phabay]

10. cause people know who miley is, whereas syria is a backwater island in the java sea

[HappyMe]

11. Because people want to make this into a big damn deal.

And so they have.

[pinboy3niner]

12. Because Assad's foam finger act is just soooo derivative and unoriginal

[tkmorris]

13. Skanks before Tanks, that's the rule

[JI7]

14. because syria is boring

[City Lights]

15. Because CNN is not a news network, despite its name.

It feeds infotainment to the masses.

17. Syria doesn't have boobs?

[LTR]

31. Neither does Miley

FWIW

[spanone]

18. because cnn is entertainment

[arely staircase]

21. cyrus and syria sound kinda the same. mt

[penultimate]

25. AND Cyprus, which sounds like Cyrus, is kinda close to Syria...

And Assad's youtube channel is full of Miley Cyrus covers... You should see his rendition of Party in the USA.

28. which will drag the turks even farther into it

Miley Cyrus is the archduke Ferdinand of the 21 C.

22. Look at Maddona on the MTV Music Awards way back in 1984...

Keep in mind, this was back when Saint Ronny was in office.

23. It's simple and translates well to local politics

if we run a story of a dog that finds a forever home from the shelter, it will have lots of traffic. Now try to get the same traffic for the local fire board, or the local five year fire plan. That is not as sexy, or for that matter cute.

Yes, people are that way. The easy to understand story line is easy to understand. The complex, not so much.

And it is not just CNN. Here as well. The easy to understand story lines are taken like gospel, the second and third layer or the onion, not so much.

24. Think Idiocracy - Different Network, Same Idea

[liberal N proud]

26. Syria doesn't have the same equipment as Miley

[JustAnotherGen]

27. Even the posters

At crazydaysandnights are asking this. And yes - sometimes I'm shallow and read enty lawyer's site, b.g. and Lainey.

Honestly - because I am an Enty fan - I don't why major "news" sources are covering it all. All they are doing is egging on the Illuminati Speculators who are having a field day with animal print outfit and her Disney background.

29. Fuck the lot of them

I said FUCK THE LOT OF THEM.

30. Syria does not twerk

Apparently that is more alarming than mass murder.
