Cable News Hits a New Low

Matt Taibbi: “Cable news coverage of politics has hit a new low. The next new low will probably be next week, but still. CNN’s NBA-style debate lottery Thursday night degraded us all.”

“‘The Leader’ held a special segment for the randomized determination of the order for Democratic Party presidential debates on July 30 and 31. They gave the show a snappy marketing title: ‘The Draw’ – and had half the network doing promos and commentary. Anderson Cooper probably woke up this morning wanting a long shower.”
