CNN running dry

CNN's apparently out of material to report, and is stealing articles whole from the Onion. They apparently also think their readers aren't smart enough to get it.

Editor's note: This may look like a real news story, but it's NOT. It is from The Onion, a humor publication that calls itself "America's finest news source." CNN may beg to differ, but we do enjoy a good laugh and hope you will enjoy a weekly selection of their satire.


*sigh* CNN, why do you keep disappointing me....

i don't generally have a lot of respect for CNN, but I also don't really see the problem here.

I quit CNN when they decided to cover the Israel-Hezbollah conflict by personal interest story only. I want news, not slanted chain-jerkers about wounded kids from one side of the conflict only! I think there's a time and place for both, but news and human-interest stories aren't interchangeable.
