"It is shameful that CNN has stooped this far. We have highlighted other awful instances of the once proud news network doing the GOP’s bidding for them. This is just another instance of CNN helpfully shaping the narrative for a conservative figure in hopes that it will build an ongoing story for them. What they really would like here is for Paul to continue to bring up the Lewinsky scandal and criticize Bill Clinton. Therefore, they can push the Clintons for follow-up remarks and create a tawdry, tabloidish storyline to hopefully draw in more viewers and readers to their website.
CNN is not really interested in news anymore. Their new chief has already said they should focus more on stories rather than constantly covering actual news. The interest at the network now is to look for ‘hooks’ to bring in the viewers. Essentially, if there is no big story, create one. It is all about creating drama. Truth and reality are merely secondary players that can be discarded for the greater good. And the greater good is increased ratings."
