I’ve never been a fan of CNN. Part of me just thinks “good riddance” and “so much less bad science reporting out there”. But PJ may be right: It’s a symptom of intellectual rot in this country. So is the growing popularity of “alternative” medicine, absurd ads for supplements that only the ignorant and stupid could buy, and some election results I could think of.

A truly educated public would be more skeptical. And would not watch CNN.
