CNN's coverage of Diamond Jubilee flotilla was crappy

Postby Juan Cena » Sun Jun 03, 2012 5:33 pm

CNN spent more time with mindless chatter with that phone hacking former Murdoch toadie f**ktard Piers Morgan (why hasn't CNN fired that dirtbag yet) than actually covering the flotilla. Which totally sucked a ton. I didn't even know what was going on half the time.

I was really amped to see the boats that were involved with the Miracle at Dunkirk that were involved in the flotilla, and CNN barely covered that part. Piers Morgan and that other British CNN pratt talking to a bunch of other alleged "experts" on the Royals. There were supposed to be a bunch of musical sections, which they didn't even cover most of them, much less shut the f**k up so viewers could hear them.

If I knew CNN was going to f**k up covering an event like this, I would have DVRed the BBC coverage (which I didn't because I don't have BBC America on HD (which truly sucks). CNN made it more an event for Piers Morgan's ego than actually one celebrating the Queen.

I figured a Time-Warner company would mess something like this up, but not this f**king bad.

And how, pray tell, does having an interest in seeing a most probably a once-in-a-lifetime event make you a "queen?" Cause I'm not (in a regal or in any kind of sexual orientation sense).

Unless you're British, Canadian, Australian, or chap (because I'm sure he's into the whole inbred thing) there's no reason anyone should give a damn about the Queen of England.

Moreover, it's CNN.. expecting decent coverage of anything is dumb.

What if you like boats, and DVR'd the event in the hopes of seeing some really cool boats?

And BTW, I'm not a huge fan of the Royals, per se. But I do respect the ones like William and Harry, who take their military service seriously enough to want to serve in combat operations (like Harry has in Afghanistan).
