Does everybody remember when the infamous Paris Hilton was incarcerated? She violated her probation and was caught driving with a suspended license... I'm sure we ALL remember that little piece of juicy gossip. How could we not? It was covered on all the major entertainment networks and programs such as E! News and MTV, as well as KTLA 5 and FOX News... But CNN too?
In fact, if I'm not mistaken, CNN did the most extensive coverage on Paris Hilton's arrest, covering her every Pre-Interview move from the car to the CNN studio, walking towards and into the building, then finally "going up the elevator" to meet with Larry King to reveal her heartbreaking story of how she was in jail for... 39 days... It was very intense. So intense that Wolf Blitzer had to cut his interview short with Bill Cosby about inner city poverty to throw the attention towards Carol Costello, who apparently was covering the Paris-walking-towards-her-post-jail-interview story.
The interview itself re-enforced the importance of CNN's coverage of Paris Hilton's experience and revelations in jail, as one can see from the emotion and sincerity she displays with Larry. I'm sure the millions of viewers that tuned to see this $1 million interview can all agree that this hour was not a waste of brain cells and dendrites. Not to mention Paris' $300,000 follow-up exclusive interview with People magazine... a magazine owned by Time Warner (aka CEO Jeffrey Bewkes), which also owns CNN.
