I dont watch cable news as I have little faith in its quality of news reporting. I was at Dulles airport the other morning waiting for a plane and the monitors were all on CNN. This interview, or mpre accurately, piece of drama, ran as a news item on the morning CNN news. Basically Larry King trolled Jerry Seinfield with an outrageous and erroneous comment and Seinfield reacted emotionally. This is trolling. It is not discourse.
CNN was happy. They 'made' news for themselves in the incestuous manner news organisations do these days. That clip has since run all over the place including the internet. A successful troll. But worthless in terms of information. From a data or discourse viewpoint it is hopeless meta.
This is why modern mainstream media is incapable of reporting correctly. Its methodologies are in opposition to that goal. Modern media does not do discourse.
