CNN Chief Says Fox Coverage Is “Meaningless Nonsense”
Drudge Report - CNN President Jonathan Klein implies ratings news leader FOXNEWS is mired in coverage of "meaningless nonsense," claiming: "Fourteen Americans dead, and they have Natalee Holloway on," Klein says. "And they're supposedly America's news channel."
"It's easy and it's brainless," Klein charges in a telephone interview set for publication at the NEW YORK TIMES, explaining why cable news outlets are gravitating to the Aruba story. "They're looking for an ongoing drama" along the lines of the NBC crime show "Law & Order," he said, adding, "Except 'Law & Order' doesn't do the same plot every night."
"There are an awful lot of things you can cover if you don't have people tied up with this meaningless nonsense," Klein says.
Dude's got a point. Fox has gone nuts with the Holloway thing. Really, there's only so much analysis one can take on a story like that. I know this is a slow time of the year news-wise, but there is a war going on.
But hey, who am I to criticize? Fox News is, at the end of the day, a business. And a damn successful one at that, being the network news ratings leader and all. If they can fill those ad slots with all-Holloway all-the-time then so be it. If viewers don't like it they'll "vote with their feet," as the saying goes, and Fox will get the message.
