Faux News and CNN in a stupid public slap fight . . .
My take? They both SUCK and chase after stupid shark stories and pathetic runaway bride stories.

"Jon Klein Should Worry More About The Natural Disaster He's Created At CNN"

Earlier today, CNN/U.S. president Jon Klein told TVNewser that Hurricane Dennis is demonstrating vividly that Fox News is "not a news organization:" "They're just so far outclassed in an event like this," he said. Tonight, a Fox News spokesperson responded:

"Jon Klein should worry more about the natural disaster he's created at CNN considering FNC has outrated them on every international news event since he took over. Between bloviating to the media about flooding the zone during the tsunami and gleefully passing out hagen-daz bars during a terrorist attack, it's no wonder morale is at an all time low and the network continues to suffer dismally under his leadership.

Last time we checked, Jon Klein's 'news organization' was having Rick Sanchez strap a shock belt around himself to demonstrate 'survival techniques' -- what a fitting metaphor for CNN..."

1. Let them go at it.
The media is hurting us as a country. Both channels included. This fight just makes them look like the idiots they are.

4. I agree
I only get my news from air america radio and NPR. The only televised news events I recieve is from clips of the daily show. I know its not "news" but its the only place where I get my visuals from that isnt quite as upsetting as some of the other sources.

6. Fox News is saying stuff like this all of the time over at TVNewser
And I have to agree with Fox News that CNN certainly is sucking a whole lot with Jon Klein at the helm. Rick Sanchez is a great example of somebody I do NOT want to watch on a news channel.
