Don Lemon of CNN just now did a segment on how America can start to "heal" with Dr. Drew, so they do have that going for them. Then Wolf at CNN spent about 20 minutes describing how cool thermal imaging of the boat was, while failing to mention the kid was actually discovered after the owner of the boat noticed his boat cover was ripped and went to check it out.

I'm not sure that news outlets like CNN are "broken" per se as they had abandoned "news" a long time ago (would OJ be a turning point?). Just like the History channel is "broken" cable news is "broken". They just don't care about news, it's really about audience retention and ratings. There's really nothing wrong with that, it's just up to us to abandon them just as they have abandoned their original intentions.
