Are You Stupid?

CNN seems to think so. They think you're prone to eating the "ear buds" from your iPhone. That you might "inhale" them. This pretty much sums up their market. They appeal to the stupid. Unfortunately, the stupid, as a market, is shrinking. Therefore, their audience is shrinking, as well. They blame Fox for this, and they're right. People are tired of hearing all the tired, old, liberal crap CNN spouts and are moving over to Fox in droves. That's because Fox doesn't ignore news items that do not agree with a preconceived notion. They bring us the unvarnished truth, and have almost as many liberals on staff as they have conservatives. This way they can present both sides of an issue. That's what CNN has against them. CNN is not long for this world. Economic reality will shortly hit them "where it hurts," and they will go the way of "Air America," which most people are surprised is still on the air at all, since they can't pay their talent.
