Seriously Now - How Much More Can CNN Say About This Cleveland Kidnapping?.....

Everytime I turn on CNN they are talking Cleveland. It's all Cleveland - All The Time. How much more can be said about this. How many times can they rehash over the same info.

Turn on Fox and It's All Benghazi - All The Time.
It looks like that's the only place that this story is getting any traction. Are the American People picking up on this? I think not.

Isn't there any real news happening anywhere?

And if it isn't this it is the Jodi Arias story.

Why talk about the substantial when they can rehash a missing white woman story?

And not just any missing white woman, a rescued missing white woman! Talk about man-bites-dog! How can CNN resist?

that Gina DeJesus is Puerto Rican, right? And that there were three women missing for a decade who have been recovered alive, right? And that out of respect for their well being very little information about what happened to them has been asked for or provided, right?

(not that your point about CNN itself is far off - just that this is not your typical missing white woman story)

Though it seems Amanda Berry gets most of the press.

You're right in that this is a very unusual missing white woman story in that the women are no longer missing, and one of them is not white.

CNN is exploiting this story shamelessly...

even with MSNBC which is the most reliable for me...

Most of my news I get from DU...thank you all. DU gives me a wide variety of sources and also I find I am in the know of details long before the MSM puts them together.

Now I am turning inward and going local.

Meditation and looking toward Canadian politics and activism.

It was inspiring watching Obama get reelected. I am getting creeped out by the Republicans and want to keep Harper from being reelected and turning my Canada into the 51st state.

Radicals in the house, so no worries there...about becoming a state in the Union.

are not meant to be watched all day long. Tune in for an hour, see what's going on, then watch I Love Lucy reruns.

We don't have real news any more. It's all info-tainment to keep us distracted by shiny things while the corporations make off with everything.

Plus they're asking the Puerto Rican community how he reflects on them.
