I'm not catholic, and there are policies of His Holiness that I dont agree with, but this should be a bigger deal than what it is on the news right now. The pope has been given last rites and Super Idiot Larry King is rambeling on about Teri Schiavo. I COULD CARE LESS ABOUT THE TERI SCHIAVO CASE... THEN OR NOW. Hopefully now that shes gone, we wont have to hear about it anymore. I think all 270 million americans have been on CNN talking about it. I dont care what my fellow americans have to say, because 98% of them are complete f*cking morons. (work retail or at a theme park and you'll agree with me).
I'm normally a CNN kid, but this is rediculious. I havent been pleased with CNN's coverage decisons since they got rid of their News Division chief a few months ago. Examples:
1) The non-stop coverage of the Teri Schiavo issue.
2) Thelack of coverage of the popes health
3) The round the clock coverage of the murder of the judge in atlanta. That really made CNN look bad (like a local affilliate), terrified a lot of people unnecessarily, and honesty, if you didnt live there, it didnt really involve you. It was like CNN was only devoting that much coverage to it because it was happening in their backyard. Not what a worldwide leader in news should look like. Note the disparity in coverage between the 24 hour coverage of the judge shooting in Atlanta vs. the brief mention of the judges murder in Illinios a few weeks earlier.

The pope worked hard to end communism and it will be interesting to see the process of the new pope election. At least its a democratic process.
