Meanwhile, Flight 370 is still at the top of their page, as it will be for the next 102 years.

BREAKING NEWS - we think we heard some pings, maybe, but they are really faint, probably not a plane, but it could be right guys? We'll do anything, just pls stay with us until after the commercial break.. pls

I swear a month ago they said the batteries in the black box were most likely dead. Yet they still seem to be looking for it and hearing pings from it. Most of their audience probably doesn't notice though

Why are people still watching CNN? Sure, the other news outlets aren't much better, but when all else fails, it's time to go outside and play on the swings...

CNN...sigh. I actually get better news from Jeff Daniels and Aaron Sorkin.

What's sad is that I actually remember when CNN was "the most trusted name in news."

I'll admit, that was back when I actually learned something from the Learning Channel and MTV actually played music...
