CNN’s coverage has nothing to do with diverting attention from Obama, they’ve been getting hammered in the ratings for years and now their strategy is to focus on sensational stories like this. And it’s working - their ratings are double this week what they have been. If they were smarter, they’d be doing a lot of other things to improve their product, but this is about ratings, which equal money and continued employment.
Sorry but ratings does not overcome ideology which is why they remain in the dump as to ratings... They will not change, it is ingrained. That is a good thing if anyone wants to break into the news business or even into the movie business - they have locked themselves into an area that they can NOT get out of...
I hate to say it, but an unstructured big story like this was made for the way CNN has been covering it.
Fox has in my opinion dropped the ball on this story.
Usually that are on top of things, but they totally blew this. I have been watching CNN for the first time in years.
