Giving CNN Credit For Hard News

An observer writes to TVNewser:

“Around 12:30, MSNBC is talking about a raunchy golf outing in the Poconos, while CNN is simulcating International coverage of the breaking news that Tony Blair will become the new Mideast Envoy.

So folks may bust on CNN for airing the Paris Hilton interview (which any network would take if Zucker hadn’t offered cash), but it seems they do serious news too, especially during the day, when the other cablers usually get caught up in Hilton coverage, or stories like raunchy golf games.”
