Jon Friedman is on fire over at MarketWatch about CNN's latest pathetic look-at-us gimmick: hiring Fidel Castro's estranged daughter. It's a must-read, to put it mildly...
...Maybe CNN had to settle for Castro's daughter because Elian couldn't skip soccer practice or something and wasn't available for the gig.
I've long regarded CNN, a division of Time Warner as the media biz's version of a circus fun house -- a network where practically anything can happen. CNN has been called everything from the Chicken Noodle Network to the Clinton News Network. I used to call it the Car-chase News Network.
Forget the Funhouse. Today, the news network looks like the crazy house...
There's a LOT more...
