CNN: Shameless Self Promotion

Earlier this month I blogged about CNN's fear-mongering In the Footsteps of Bin Laden "documentary." Today on CNN's front page, their top story concerns the results of a CNN-conduducted poll indicating that "three-fourths [of poll respondents] said they believe Osama bin Laden is planning another significant attack against the United States." This is front page news on the same day that CNN's Bin Laden program premieres. I ask you, is this news? Or does CNN just want us to watch their crappy show?

I hope that was a rhetorical question. It's all aboout making money off terrorism and people's fear. You got it right. They are the lowest. As a journalist, I hate to see organizations like that bring down the industry by preying on people's fear instead of reporting news.
