CNN is slipping.

1. Don't forget the sound track.

Hopefully, it is just being treated as the tragic story it is and not being manipulated for ratings.

2. They don't have one yet?
A catchy title, a graphic, and quasi-somber music is mandatory, isn't it?

4. I dunno who's doing their graphics, but hey SUCK.
What's with the super-shrunk headline bar at the bottom? And ugly fonts? And Boooooooooring colors. They looked more modern YEARS ago! :puke:

7. I hate to say it...

...but when I started following this thing (about 5 hours after it occured) FOX (of all places!) actually had decent coverage. CNN was running Christmas pap. It seemed to stay that way for most of the day.

On second thought, Fox is the "World's deadliest insert_bad_thing_here" network.

Edit: On third though, I vow never to use "insert_bad_thing_here" in a post ever again. Jesus, that just sounds wrong.
