More time-fluff than news, CNN is generating some interesting side stories to report to their viewers.
Hotlinks, a blog on CNN's website, even lists a few sarcastic news segments that CNN has produced in an effort to make fun of themselves. But now I am just confused. Why would a respectable network need to stoop to blogging about their own idiocity? Hotlinks is blog that attempts to reach a growing target audience: the young adult, office working, sarcastic city dwellers that love watching satirical humor such as "The Office" "The Daily Show" and "Family Guy." They want to be "in" with that niche, so they start bashing themselves. It's kind of ironic.
Anyways, they post local, frivolous, "entertainment" news such as the "Chihuahua's Ears Makes Weird Noises"

Or they produced little segments on Cooper Anderson's 360 shot, the man with the "Tallest MoHawk"
More ground breaking footage, just like the above listed can be found in CNN's website with headings like "Man punches Shark" or "Team Jolie VS. Team Aniston."
