96. Then, this draws the line right down the center of CNN's purpose
as a news gathering/journalistic entity: Are they here to entertain, or are they here functioning in the established role of the newsgathering media: to inform the public?

Being that the public doesn't own CNN's cable signal, but rents it monthly as part of their cable/dish packages, CNN and other "cable information exchanges" can make reluctant stars out of whomever their news mangers get a hard on over and they don't have to consider any real responsibility to the public for informing the public about shit.
