So everyday I read CNN.com. Ok so I don't read everything, but I peruse the entire sight, and pick and choose what news I desire to "hear" about that day. Some days I just want mindless entertainment news, which inevitably leads me to a story that links to People.com. Then there are days when horrifying tragedies catch my attention. A child missing (which always makes my heart ache and which I never have faith that the child will be found alive but hold out hope nonetheless), a plane crash, murders (like the recent Joran VanderSloot story, which makes me mad b/c until this guy came along I LOVED the name Joran), etc.
But I always find it hard to read anything about politics. Warning!! I am NOT looking for a political discussion here. I find it annoying that republicans nor democrats can seem to agree on anything. I heard a great idea on NPR recently that primaries should be dissolved, because primaries require the potential nominee to be decidedly right or left, and there is no room for a moderate in the middle. So people who would be best at making decisions and compromising are left out in the cold or have to become independents, and how often do independents really win? Bi-partisanship BAH!
I digress, CNN.com is a wealth of information that occupies much needed down time, although I think I would appreciate seeing happier stories more often. Also, their video content has increased dramatically, great you made a news segment a video, but add a transcription of the story.
Ooh! A story on how e-reader price war erupts. Must read that now!
