Does Jeanne Moos (CNN) ever report worthwhile stories?

[bluestateguy]

I have never seen such wasteful reporting about irrelevant, 1990's tripe! This country is at WAR and Jeannie Moos wastes our time with trivial nonsense!

[Melodybe]

1. Nope, she is a total waste of time.

[OhioStateProgressive]

2. she used to

she was the reporter for the "jogger rape case" in the early 1990's, I believe she had some problems because of it

[cheezus]

3. if the news has to be entertaining

I'd rather the entertainment come in the form of Jeanne Moss reporting about the upbeat stuff she reports about rather than the usual infotainment consisting of celebrity murder/rape trials

[eyesroll]

4. Well, Jeannie Moos is exclusively a fluff reporter

I don't really have a problem with that. If she and CNN think their
audience wants a three-minute detour about pie-eating contests, fine.

I have a bigger problem with "real" reporters who also do fluff, when the local Fox affiliate here sends its weekend-weather guy (Bob Moore) or the Gus Gnorski, whose job can be summed up as Tim Taylor meets "Bart's People," to cover actual news. Then, the line gets blurred.

(Edited out the "always has been a fluff reporter" because I don't know her history. It's all fluff now.)

6. she used to be a real reporter(nt)

[Renew Deal]

5. No

She came to an early Clark event. Then I had seen the same caera man at an event after the campaign started. I asked if she was around. He said no, she only does joke stories.

7. No, she was hired to just to do something amusing

She isn't suppose to report on anything serious.
Shame, she can be quite good.

8. as stated, she used to be a regular reporter at CNN(nt)

[EllieDem]

9. Is she the one with the

really distinct voice?

[OhioStateProgressive]

10. yeah

she covered crime stories in New York in the late 1980's and early 1990's...i watched a larry King Live a few months ago that was about the 'jogger rape case' of the late 80's, and Moos was on there talking about it, and she said something about getting some threats, and being very bugged out about it

11. This is typical of journalism today

One of the reasons I left was because known left-leaning journalists were often assigned to features, rather than newsdesk - irregardless of how good they were.

Newsdesk tended to have two types: Those who knew local in and out (and had connections) and the pro-police, rah rah freeper types.

[eissa]

12. At least it's no secret

that she reports fluff -- she and her audience knows it. It's the so-called "real" reporters who pass fluff off as real news that I have a problem with.
