Media Blogging: Slamming Stupid “Journalism”
Techcrunch alerts us to a funny-and-serious website to call out CNN’s silliness: WTFCNN. Click on the site and you can read, in part, the site’s mission statement:
Dear CNN,
We know you think this is what we want, but it’s not. We don’t care what random Tweeters think about a news story, how many holograms you have in your Situation Room, or even the latest celebrity gossip.
We care about our world. Instead of using your resources to do the journalism that gives us a better understanding of this world — we get the front page of CNN.com.
Here, here. I find CNN’s multimedia components on the Web particularly lacking. MSNBC allows online viewing of nearly all its programs in a user-friendly way; CNN makes it a struggle to find clips and doesn’t even post entire shows like the “Situation Room.”
Headline News: CNN often stinks.
