Chronicles Of CNN: The Search for Missing Malaysian Airlines Flight MH 370


Background:  CNN: The Most Busted Name In News


I think CNN covers a few issues that they think they can get some fear based viewers from focusing on tragedies. The techniques they are using to attract viewers while giving them low levels of information could easily be adapted to more useful endeavors as the last Daily Show video in this post shows. Clearly, CNN is not doing that. Jon Stewart (recently) DOES admit that they do seem to be trying.
