This is an "important story"..."something we all need to know".....

So... I will temper my snide comments about our concern for the "children" and simply say...

HOW IS THIS NEWS ?... Paula Zann / CNN... you are a bunch of twits.

Oh and BTW... my "truck" is the most dangerous according to their tests...*sigh... looks like I will be having kiddy tacos any day now.

1. How about we leave those dead children on your fucking front doorstep?
Do you think you might possibly give a fuck then? Jesus H. Christ on a trailer hitch. What is in your head?

You know, if you don't like kids that's one thing but they are still your fellow human beings.

Jesus.

Do you realize for even a moment how fucked up your post looks to .... I dunno..... REGULAR HUMAN BEINGS?

Do you think it might be narcissistic to engage in knee-jerk defensiveness just because you own one of the vehicles in question?

2. Hmm actually
MZ has a point... yes this is a story, on the botton of the hour on a SLOW news day... it is not a story on a day with news.

Just my two cents.

3. ANYONE who is looking to that woman for real news is a lost cause anyway
be serious. Nobody tunes into her for relevant issues or brilliant analysis. I'm not even sure why she's on the air but I am sure anyone who watches her seriously is a lost cause.

5. She is a Republican tool
line most of them

I don't watch CNN... or MSNBC, or FOX for they all are the same thing to me, propaganad

But that story is a story, for a slow news day, at the bottom of the hour...

4. It was bizarre filler news. Huge news day and Newsnight flops.
Not to minimize the safety of children. SUVs have been around how long? And they're just now getting to this big shocker of a news story. Doesn't wash.

At the best of slow news times, this would be part of news lineup, then given a whole Oprah episode (or whatever).

Corporate CNN blew it tonight.
