CNN Pisses Away Final Shred of Integrity with Comedy News Show

Cnn_war_announcement_1991The AP dropped a story about CNN's upcoming comedy show :

"CNN Headline News isn't the first place you'd look for comedy, but the network says it will try to have fun with some of the clips in its news archives.

Not Just Another Cable News Show will premiere April 5, the network said Monday.

"It's an entertaining way to recall some of the more memorable moments captured on video," said Ken Jautz, executive vice president at CNN Worldwide.

The 30-minute show will be on Saturdays at 7 p.m. ET, then repeated twice later in the evening. It will be followed each time by News to Me, a series that shows hot Web videos."

Oh, CNN. Have you learned nothing from FOX News'? Why do I have a feeling this'll be just like the "1/2 Hour News Hour," only with less political invective and an even feebler grasp on context?

So if I'm reading this correctly, CNN will be dedicating two hours of its Saturday programming to the next Tay Zonday and mocking its own footage collection instead of, I don't know, doing their jobs.

It's a short AP story so I'd figure I'd just copy it in its entirety ...

I'm sure a lot of media lawyers are laughing at that one!

Kind of ironic that someone from CC is mentioning how another network pissed away it's integrity

Hypocrites
