CNN's Website Is Problematic

By



 I don't fault CNN for having a food section, or even for their celebrity journalists for having recipes, but considering all the things that are going on in the world, like:

  • Julian Assange
  • War
  • Sanctions against other Counties (which is basically a declaration of war)
Or things going on in America (in addition to the above):
  • Police Brutality/Militarization of Law Enforcement
  • People Trapped in Student Loan/Credit Card/Medical Debt
  • Homeless Crisis
  • Flawed Healthcare System
  • Increasing Infringements on Speech (currently being disguised as "protection")
  • Continued Deregulation
  • Crusade Against Worker's Rights
  • Institutional Racism
  • Media Consolidation
  • The Defunding of our Educational System
Or heck, even positive things like:

They decide to put a section of their celebrity journalist's personal recipes on the front page of the CNN website. To be frank: we are not living in times when this should be front page information.

No one should have to hunt though CNN's site to find any information on any of the items I mentioned. Kim Kardashian's professional legal aspirations, Jan 6 text messages and a decrease in diet soda options are not as important as what the FCC plans to do about broadband or Biden's Press Secretary acting incredulously about Americans actually wanting free home COVID tests. 

I will give them this nugget of credit, though: they have a "Climate Crisis" section on the front page (even though they also have an analysis piece saying we should just accept extreme weather).

For being DC Comic's most recognizable female character, WW has been given the cinematic shaft for a long time. We've seen two incarnations of Lois Lane and countless Bat-groupies, but not one decent pitch for the Amazon in the big screen. And we're talking about a character who made armored underwear cool waaay before anyone heard of Princess Leia. So here's one humble man's suggestion for any future casting of the Wonder Woman movie. I really have three rules for casting: she has to be at least 5'10", under 45 and attractive enough to pass for a princess. Sandrine Holt - Age: 36, Height: 5'10", Relevant Movie/TV Roles: Resident Evil: Apocalypse & Mutant X Pros : She's played both a (doomed) reporter and a person with superpowers, so if she can play both, she's a shoe-in. Plus she's probably the least-known actress on this list, so they can two movies out of her cheap. Cons : While D.C. isn't as star-crazy as Marvel when it co...

5 Actresses Who Deserve a Bigger Break

Being the avid movie watcher that I am, I've noticed that more than one talented actress has been passed over for other talent. And by "talent," I mean, "sex tapes that 'accidentally' made it to the Internet." Well, here's one man's humble attempt to rectify the situation. The following ladies are not only talented, but beautiful. Hollywood: get off your ass and give these women more roles. DANIELLE FISHEL Noticeable TV/Movie Appearances: Boy Meets World; both National Lampoon's Dorm Dazes The delightful Ms. Fishel has the distinction of having the weirdest named ever associated with a smart-yet-hot character (or maybe I'm the only one who has a problem saying "Topanga!" whilst in the throes of passion) as well as participating in the death of the National Lampoon Series (I personally thought it died with Chevy Chase's career; who knew?). If you were to use her IMBD page as a reference, the only real fault people seem to hav...
