4. They have too much time to fill...I don't care what some right wing tool thinks about this or that..

Present the facts already. I hate when they keep saying...you can twitter me or facebook this or whatever. I don't think that they understand...not all your "commentators" can be Jack Cafferty (who is....AWESOME).

CNN has been doing "Breaking News" for 29 years. Everyone else in the 24hr news cycle decended from Ted Turner's vision.  after posting saw the LOL moniker, oh well.
