The News debate continues

So after questioning CNN's reporting on NOT following the tea-parties the other day Yahoo's front page is the above article. In which it claims during the final hours it (CNN) was actively trying to recruit people to its Twitter site during the broadcast!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!? I hope this was mostly done in jest and fun- but really? This is more news than citizens voicing their opinions on a pretty major issue? I have my doubts. I don't have Twitter, and to be fair I don't care to know about it. I get enough updates that hardly affect my life on facebook, I don't need them on my phone too. And I really don't care what Ashton Kutcher is doing daily either so the whole thing is just odd to me. I just don't see how this is news. Anyone with me on this?

Also in a follow-up to the wide gap (chasm?) between the far left media CNBC, the left CNN and the right FOX has ironically left the middle point far from any of them but in the middle. (Oh and I don't buy the 'Oh I only get my news from the BBC, they have no agenda.' BS... they are owned by a Saudi sheik, that's why their reports seem tempered (particularly related to Muslim/Middle Eastern relations) but harsh on other governments.) Anyway my personal opinion is the only well informed person is the one that takes from each and formulates their own opinion, its math; average the sources and you have probably the most accurate data from which to base an opinion. That too could be why the networks have taken such dramatic views; its a matter of survival. There is so much info on the Internet now, people have access to information that the evening news was once the sole provider of. That's why its really not news on the so-called news channels anymore- its entertainment.
