CNN Wire: 2 Guatemala ministers die in crash
This is what I was faced with when I decided to hop onto CNN.com to see what was going on in the world. Well...aparently, nothing but depressing, horrible, negative, scary shit is going down right now...even a charity soccer game in the streets of New York they managed to turn into something negative by saying 'NBA star talks trash on soccer pitch'...I mean, come on...is there some sort of twisted editorial process where a reporter submits his story, and then some fucking maniac in a suit and tie decides what sort of fucked up title it gets in order to get people to click on the link? Like I want to read about snakes swallowing kitty's and lawmakers talking about 'ripping rape victims apart'...
"Fear Fear Fear Fear...Fear Fear Fear Fear..."
Seriously, its actually kind of sick...even the 'not-so-depressing' stories were kind of fucked up. I hope CNN rethinks what its doing to its online news service...cause right now, it reads like a marathon of Jerry Springer episodeds...not a reputable news source.
"Trash Trash Trash Trash...Trash Trash Trash Trash..."
Hey...those kind of look like horns...red horns......hmmmmmmm

When I worked for newspapers the editorial staff had a slogan they worked by: "If it bleeds, it leads." I've never forgotten that.
Great line…makes me sick though…
The whole editorial/$pin aspect of the industry is what ultimately turned me off a career in journalism…it just really, really bothers me. Being a writer/reporter was the last thing I was really passionate about career wise, and to this day part of me hasn’t gotten over the heartbreak.
I totally 'get it' why they do that...and the end of the day its a business like any other...but like a lot of things in the world today, there's something just a little 'wrong' about it...
