TvNewsLIES Headline News

TVNL Editor's Comments: This morning on CNN the news headline break was introduced by the host saying “here is (I forgot her name) with some serious news”. The news reader read her standard 3 headline stories. One of the stories was about the missing girl in Aruba and another was about Tom Cruise and his new love. This is serious news? They laughed about the Tom Cruise story. As I speak they are having a serious Q&A session about Oprah Winfrey’s power. These people have no rights to call themselves journalists and calling CNN and the like, “news networks” is false labeling. Think about it! – Jesse, Editor, TvNewsLIES.org
