What do these headline all have in common?
  • Wildfire murder charges filed

  • U.S. officer describes disarray in Iraqi army

  • General: Abuse scandal killed my career

  • Seafood faces collapse, report says

  • DEA: Gang of corrupt cops nabbed

They are all, according to CNN, less important than Cruise named studio top gun. We're only 5 days out from the most important and interesting midterm election of my lifetime*. Fuck you, CNN.

* This might be slight hyperbole. (Though I hope not.) Certainly the biggest since 1994.

I'm glad I'm not the only one rubbed the wrong way by that sort of stuff. The amount of entertainment "news", and just the general out-of-whackness of what constitutes a headline news story, has gotten totally out of hand.

On a related note, I've also noticed CNN is fond of giving glowing movie "reviews" for movies produced by TWX subsidiary studios (Warner Brothers, New Line, etc), but tends not to review other films. (Please feel free to prove me wrong on that.)
