As ratings plummet, CNN has moved away from the 24 Hour News Cycle and into an entertainment based tabloid news model under the stewardship of CEO Jeff Zucker. Welcome to the new CNN, less controversy, more entertainment. Accused of being ‘cheerleaders for the Bush war drive against Iraq’ CNN’s coverage of desert storm will likely remain a highpoint in their historical record.

CNN Controversies
“Images sent over thousands of miles, well-lit anchors who seem alert to everything of importance taking place in our world, field reporters in far-flung places who pop up and respond instantly to the anchors and deliver close-up accounts of vital events.
And the same important faces of government leaders who, day after day, are struggling to improve our destiny against great odds, against intransigent enemies of progress. All this is delivered to us in the space of a few minutes, each night, like clockwork.
The television news presents that little show of magic which the people sorely need. The need never dies. It’s eternal. The television anchors can be obvious oafs, hucksters, cheap con artists. They can twist the truth, burn it, hide it, step on it, reverse it; it doesn’t matter.” Jon Rappoport
