C-Fucking-NN

Its after a long time that I am blogging. Its mainly driven by anger than anything else. Just writing this to vent out my anger.

I was watching CNN International today morning before leaving to office. They were covering the massacre in the Virginia tech school that killed 33 people. That was a real sad news. But the coverage of CNNI was the worst. I never used to watch CNN Local, for that matter, any US local news channel for their mediocre content. One evening Fox local news channel was covering a police pursuit LIVE. Such is the state of the news channels here in US, a real pathetic state.

Coming back to CNN. CNN International is a little better than CNN local. But after today, I am left with no other news channel to watch. There were just reporters around the crime scene reporting the same stuff over and over with different words live. And also interviewing people who doesn't know what to talk about. There was this president of student union or whatsoever was bragging about a morning gathering he was organizing. And to top it off, the news was showing a social networking site's, Facebook, user community and pointing out the profile of one of the victims. I don't know why they want to cover something like this. Of course, everyone grieves but why add fuel.

I always like BBC. News coverage is excellent and their site is just amazing and you get a neutral news. Unfortunately, I don't receive the BBC. For an average American, his whole world is just US of A. Even Sun News back home is better than CNN.

I am not sure abt. Sun news, but NDTV and CNN-IBN which are supposed to be the news channels for the English speaking Indian junta, are nothing but a bunch of crap.
You'll have 'so called' experts analysing Narayana Murthy's patriotism for one full day just because he did not play the vocal version of our national anthem in his campus.
