The tabloid excesses of CNN.com, MSNBC.com, and Foxnews.com. - By Jack Shafer - Slate Magazine

The tabloid excesses of CNN.com, MSNBC.com, and Foxnews.com.
""In their craven pursuit of clicks, the editors at CNN.com, MSNBC.com, and Foxnews.com turn their sites into virtual tabloids by peppering their home pages with the most sordid and bizarre stories that can be culled from the world's news wires."

How could any site stoop so low? How could any human be so shameless. Imagine that. A site that posts the other crap that legitimate news organizations ignore. If only there were a good name for a site like that. Let me think about it.

Last night, on one of the cable talkfests, one of the news analysts said, "And this didn't come from some sleazycrap.com ..." And I was thinking, "How did I miss that domain?"
