CNN Knows News

Fri, 02/09/2007 - 09:52 — kebernet

Aside from all kinds of idiocy, here is CNN's response to my feedback to Paula Zahn:

Greetings,

Thank you for letting us know you received an erroneous response to the email you sent to Paula Zahn Now. We did experience a glitch that resulted in some of these emails generating a response from our coverage of Steve Irwin’s memorial service. Please accept our apologies for that. This response is to let you know we have verified your original email is in the Paula Zahn Now email box, and has been read.

We also want to make sure you know that due to breaking news coverage of the death of Anna Nicole Smith, the follow-up segment “Out in the Open: What Happened to Love Thy Neighbor” scheduled to air last night on Paula Zahn Now has been rescheduled for Monday night, February 12.

Thank you for taking time to send your comments our way, and for being our valued viewer.

Regards,

CNN Public Information

Emphasis mine.

If this isn't a commentary on the state of media in the 21st century, I don't know what is.

I got the SAME email and I

I got the SAME email and I had the SAME reaction/thought. God damn CNN... I spent a fair amount of time and put a lot of thought and effort into the email I wrote with regards to the PZ segment on Atheists. Shit like this just completely destroys any shred of hope I have in those efforts being even remotely worthwhile. We are collectively circling the fucking drain at this point.

Richard Dawkins response on CNN

Paula apparently got more than a few letters about the "atheists inspire hate" crap, and her brilliant panel, so they decided to have RD on to respond (video at RD site):

Not much real content in the "interview", no full segment with a banner and spinning logo either, but at least it was an attempt.
