A sampling of headlines from CNN.com right now:
“Very ugly cat adopted by vet”
“What your doodles say about you”
“Flying without arms”
“Man accused of stuffing cat into bong”
“Legendary band copes with egos, bird poop”
Although perhaps this headline from Time.com has them all beat:
“Spotting future gamblers in kindergarten”
It probably has to do with the fact that they’ve recently scraped their whole Science News team. This shows that probably the 8-year old nephew of the janitor is in charge of the headlines now
I can’t help laughing, but what the hell happened to CNN is a good question.
I think everyone’s been wondering where quality journalism went and why it become so unpopular. As well, what kind of readers buy into those sample headlines?
(I also can’t help wondering how you would stuff a cat into a bong in the first place…shoot, i think just answered one of my questions)
