CNN at the exact 40th anniversary moment when humanity first stepped on the moon...
...What was the "world wide leader in news" doing? Not commemorating the pinnacle of humankind's technological achievement. Not discussing the artifacts that will remain as evidence of our efforts and diligence long after our species has disappeared.

No, they were talking about Michael Jackson, an apology from another pop singer, an actor-turned-politician and a sports star convicted of animal cruelty.

Wow, that's leadership...
