OMG This aruba thing has to stop

[craychek]

I've been trying to watch CNN for actual news but for the last hour they've been talking at great length about that girl in aruba that's been missing for almost 3 months now. GIVE IT A REST. No offense to the girl and her family. Her missing(and probably being dead) is tragic and not cool, BUT this is not national news. Hundreds of people go missing EVERY day and yet they are not reported on national news. Please for the love of god CNN and Fox STOP COVERING THIS!!!

2. LOL If they reported the REAL news, people would start asking b*sh

more embarrassing questions than the one Cindy Sheehan has for him.

4. its disgusting!

if she were fat or something they would not even cover it at all

I guess though we are in the minority though, the ratings are good for the aruba stories and so they keep going back to it like a an aweful re-run of a bad show

9. well, that is cause the news keep telling us that is what we want (aruba

et al).

6. Also they confuse me with the coverage

I can't tell real investigators (whom I presume would have better things to do than tell all they know on CNN) with the sort of "Vigalante Investigators" the ones who destroy turtle nests and intimidate witnesses to the point where restraining orders are threatened.

The vigilantes seem very partial.

7. Do yourself a favor: DUMP your Cable/Satellite

I've been cable-free for about a year now and I'm loving it!

11. Weeeeellll!!! Now that you've vented here, Write CNN!

I'm not sure if you are talking about "CNN" or "CNN/Headline News," which still has that STUPID "Headline Prime" "Nancy Grace" BS going during Prime-time.

CNN/HLN Finally trashed all the STUPID "Changes" they mad back in July 2001. They got rid of all the Screen Hogging Graphics, booted most of the "Hot Young Chicks and Dudes" they had doing the pseudo "news," and brought back actual reporters and some of the "older" Male and Female News Anchors.

So I would say, this is a good time to write and complain about the Aruba Girl. I'm about to do the same thing.

As long as you re-phrase what I've written here, your welcome to use any of it. I'm going to complement them on the changes they HAVE made so far, and then tell them that as soon as "Headline Prime" comes on, I either Change the Channel or turn off the T.V. completely because, "Headline Prime" Sucks that bad.

CNN is part of Time-Warner, don't they have a different Cable Channel they could move "Nancy Grace" too? You would think they could move here to one of their entertainment networks? :shrug:
