Think Progress » CNN Dumps Michael Moore For Paris Hilton

I’m not even sure what words to write here as this is wrong on so many levels. CNN is just no longer relevant anymore regarding news and the public interest.

And what about our healthcare crisis that Moore is addressing, well, apparently it’s not as important, so he’s getting bumped for a later date.

Think Progress » CNN Dumps Michael Moore For Paris Hilton Yesterday, CNN proudly announced that it has scored the first post-jail interview with Paris Hilton. To make room for Paris on Wednesday, CNN canceled its interview with Michael Moore about his new health care documentary SiCKO: Hotel heiress and reality TV star Paris Hilton will give her first post-jail interview on CNN’s “Larry King Live” on Wednesday, the show’s spokeswoman said on Saturday. “She will be on for the hour,” Bridget Leininger told Reuters. “We had (filmmaker) Michael Moore originally scheduled for that time.” CNN, the “most trusted name in Paris news,” continues to sink to new lows in its “assault on reason.” Hilton is the latest “serial obsession,” though the network recently hired a reporter devoted to “covering things like Britney, as well as the Michael Jackson memorabilia.” Now CNN has ditched coverage of America’s broken health care system in favor of an hour-long interview of an incarcerated socialite.
