Its not just CNN of course. They are just the big fish. Its all business to hype and sell stories. Good for viewing figures. Nothing like fear and lack of understanding to get the masses tuning in. The BBC has to be more reserved over here due to the fact every UK home has to pay them about $260 a year. Its all publicly funded. Thats why they are less hype but also not as sharp or immediate with reporting either. Good and bad points with either approach.
