CNN Must Be

Ben Stein’s little piece online about Nancy Grace and Britney Spears is of course exactly right. But he is forgetting two very important things.
First, CNN is not really a serious news network outside of its regular news hour. At midnight they don’t count for anything.
Second, and more important, Nancy Grace is not a serious person. She takes herself seriously, of course, but that’s not enough to qualify. She’s sort of like Walter Winchell but with a worse voice. She’s a voyeur, a sight-and-sound scandal sheet, a humorless, ghastly woman that no man could possibly stand. And besides, no one (relatively speaking) watches her, especially at midnight.
Don’t worry about her, Ben. It’s like worrying about the National Enquirer.
You should be fevering your brow about the New York Times and their front page the other day trying to bring about our defeat in Afghanistan now that they have failed to stop the surge in Iraq.
