The most trusted news found from Google
March 17th, 2008 at 12:09 pm in Media, NewsIt’s sad when you read an article on ESPN and notice it references quotes from sports blogs like With Leather. I’ve even seen scanned newspaper clippings where they’ve quoted comments from people on sites like Digg and Fark. Yet CNN has quietly taken the lead for “laziest news network in the world.”
Their iReporter feature shouldn’t even exist. “Got a camera? Then send us your photos and we’ll show them to millions!” During any given news segment, the Youtube to professional cameraman ratio of video clips is somewhere around 90:1. Now they’ve reached the point where they find somebody’s Myspace page and use it to write an entire article.
Suddenly, apathy is quite appealing.
I hope I never do anything newsworthy. Just imagine the shitty article they could write about me just from using Shyzer. God help us.
