Not having watched the news today, I thought this post must be exaggerated for humor. That is, until I tuned into CNN myself a few minutes ago.
At the top of the hour, they had an exclusive report from some reporter who flown on the plane with the would-be bride. He actually described the scene as she went to use the bathroom during the flight. And almost breathlessly, he relayed that the flight attendant had told him that the wedding is “still on.”
Twenty-one minutes after the hour and they were still talking about their top story. Alas.
Remember when CNN used to have the reputation as a news source?
CNN’s question of the hour, where viewers are encourage to call in and opine, is whether or not this woman’s fiance should give her a second chance. I think a more appropriate question is whether or not I should give CNN a second chance. Perhaps Fox News isn’t that bad after all.
Try living in metro Atlanta. It’s been the top story in the AJC every day since she disappeared and now it’s even bigger! And of course it’s the lead story on all the TV stations, all the morning talk shows (TV and radio). If she weren’t attractive, white and a member of a prominent family, no one would care. Frankly, I feel sorry for her. She obviously has serious emotional issues and now with all the spotlight, she’s going to have a hard time dealing with them.
