CNN - Barbara Starr - Paris Hilton - Secretary Gates
I am a CNN junkie and I am furious.About an hour ago as Starr was speaking about the Gates announcement of the resignation of two top Iraq War generals, the anchor interrupted her for “breaking news” and the feed from Paris Hilton’s house came on the screen.
Starr is one of their top analysts and perhaps the best reporter based in the U.S.
And, yes, CNN has screwed up many times, which is to be expected when they cover so much, but this was not a screw-up it was an affront to any reasonable viewer who had the misfortune to be watching at that particular moment.
Apologies are certainly due to Starr, but they are also due to their viewers.
