Who writes CNN "Headlines"?

[sharp_stick]

Look at the CNN homepage and right there is a big headline "Bad News For Dems in New CNN Poll".

Oh shit I think, now what... so I click on the thing and what pops up. A typical and pretty much unchanged poll that shows the support for Democrats in Congress is down a whole 6 points since the highs in February but support for the pukes isn't climbing. In other words, CNN just wasted a bunch of time with a bullshit headline that should have read. Democrats still outpace the pukes in popularity with more than 50% of respondents claiming that they would still rather see the dems leading congress. Perhaps a headline about how the manufactured puke outrage is failing to date but noooo.

When you actually read the freaking thing it even says, at the fucking bottom of course,

"By a ten-point margin, Americans say that the country would be better off if the Democrats controlled Congress. That's down from a 15-point advantage in April, but it is very important to note that the change has not helped the Republicans at all," says Holland."

Whoever the unpaid intern is that writes these headlines he/she should be shown the damned door. Totally pathetic half-assed effort at trying to gin up excitement.
