But my beef is the way the media circus *cough*
CNN *cough* earlier was trying to spin things (until they actually removed it after dozens or so of us complained about it)..One of which was “Biker attack video: Who is the real victim? – CNN.com”…Ways that were completely unimaginable. Reading it sounded nothing like journalism but instead the National Enquirer. There was even a nice gem of a quote from a “witness” ” the SUV was driven by a Chinese madman”…Ok..So excuse the asian driving jokes aside here. And excuse the person who said it. CNN editors don’t have an issue with running quote like that? Really? Wait, CNN constantly run articles about ethnic diversity and racial sensitivity..And here is same organisation that doesn’t know any better at a time of a horrific event? This isn’t the National Enquirer. It’s suppose to be CNN. And it happened a few times. Not just once.

Funny thing is if you try to go to the link now, it goes to suddenly a “cleaned” up version that now actually just points to real factual news reporting after several of us bitched about it to the editors…finally…

Did not know about CNN’s racist comments.

And what’s up with assuming his Chinese. I don’t see the media jumping the gun and saying a Mexican man was spotted driving erratically or there goes a Norwegian on a bike. How they managed to figure out he is Chinese when all I was able to conclude by video footage was he’s Asian is beyond me.

Perhaps CNN is a victim of the political polarization. As they were trying to stay in the center, they ended up losing most of the audience to Faux or MSNBC. But then they got desperate and started pendering to sensationalism, the result is now they have no one watching except captive airport passengers.
