Think Progress » CNN Dumps Michael Moore For Paris Hilton: "CNN, the 'most trusted name in Paris news,' continues to sink to new lows in its 'assault on reason.' Hilton is the latest 'serial obsession,' though the network recently hired a reporter devoted to 'covering things like Britney, as well as the Michael Jackson memorabilia.' Now CNN has ditched coverage of America’s broken health care system in favor of an hour-long interview of an incarcerated socialite."

What the hell is wrong with this country? CNN drops Moore because Paris will get better ratings. I enjoy watching some TV shows, but in the end it is obvious that television has destroyed this country. News has been dumbed down to 3-second clips for short attention spans, when it comes to important events, and the rest of the time is filled with useless celebrity gossip. Who is watching this crap?
