SF Oil spill CNN coverage

Never realized how entertaining CNN can be -
The coverage of the SF Bay spill this a.m. included headlines such as how the "politicians are working to decide how to clean up the mess" and even more incredibly, how Michael Chertof is "reviewing cleanup procedures".

Although these events have always attracted the media and consequently the politicians, at least they used to advertize their presence as being there to see if they could help.

A true circus! Clowns everywhere...

I pity the CG if any of thus is true.

CNN is the National Inquirer of televison. They are an insult to tabloid journalism, so bad its not funny. I've bocked my reciever from getting that channel.
