CNN's Aaron Brown says truth no longer matters on cable news.

"Truth no longer matters in the context of politics and, sadly, in the context of cable news," said Aaron Brown, whose four-year period as anchor of CNN's NewsNight ended in November, when network executives gave his job to Anderson Cooper in a bid to push the show's ratings closer to front-runner Fox News.

Many Americans on the left and the right aren't interested in the truth, but simply want news that confirms their viewpoints, he said. "You'd think that it's no more complex than good vs. evil," he said.

Is he right? I have to say that I choose CNN as my news source more often then MSNBC, and only turn to FOX "the opposite of" News when I want to see what kind of spin the right wing is putting on a story. But lately I have noticed some alarming developments on CNN. It seems as if they are starting to lean right.

Wolf "My beard never grows" Blitzer has been going after critics of the president with a little more enthusiasm then seems completely warranted. But then is that my own prejudice coloring my perception? Maybe he is being completely neutral and I am exactly what Aaron Brown is talking about when he says that viewers want their points of view reinforced.

I do not envy the news gatherers of today. They struggle to tell the story, no matter which side of the aisle it helped or hurts, and at the same time keep their advertisers so that they can afford to produce the programs.

Well I will let you all know that I am somebody who turns off the stories about the runaway brides or celebrity legal difficulties. Of course I am just better then most people. Except for my humongous ego.
