**ShowBiz in the NewsBiz

The CNN "ShowBiz" section of their line-up is a total joke.

It's like a cheap knock-off. They are trying to mimic the structure of E! News and Access Hollywood... and it just doesn't fly with me. First of all, implementing my overall point, CNN doesn't need an entertainment section because they shouldn't even focus on celebrity gossip, messy divorces, hot summer "hook-ups" or scandals in Hollywood town. It's just not what one would look for when watching CNN. That's precisely why we have other reality TV driven, fashion obsessive, salacious gossip channels on cable that do the job right. CNN containing a ruffle piece like "ShowBiz" is absolute nonsense. How is CNN expecting their viewers to take their news seriously when they parade ridiculous celebrity antics about how "TomKat" (aka Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes) are separating?

It just boggles me, the kind of message CNN is trying to send its viewers. Don't they understand that by having "ShowBiz" report on how wretched Britney Spear's family life is or how Peter Cook uses his cock... it demeans the CNN image? Is it worth the profits and the extra fickle viewers?

Maybe CNN needs a new PR representative to help Jeffrey Bewkes re-enforce their brand, as they claim to be "The Most Trusted Name In News." If that's the case, I'll be graduating next spring and would be open to negotiate terms of employment.
