CNN - Scandal! Outrage! Scandal, scandal! Outrage! Thanks for your version of "news", CNN.

Wish all the media would stop talking among themselves to fill the 24/7 need to gin up some viewership.

Investigations will play themselves out over time. And some context will be gained by it all. I realize context and some objectivity isn't your forte, but it's needed now if you want to continue to claim a place as a national news organization.

We all understand that the media has never been objective to some extent. But today, beating the bandwidth 24/7 benefits no one.

I get two news channels here, CNN and BBC. This afternoon I noticed that Anderson Cooper was on and was going to watch him, but he was pushing the same scandal stories as everyone else so after awhile I turned it off.
