CNN SUCKS!

January 5, 2007
Paula Zahn Now featured a segment on the new rules regarding international adoption from China. The so called panel of experts was really a panel of idiots, Ms Zahn included. They laughed and joked their way through a very sensitive subject, offending and denigrating every adoptive parent in the world. One panelist a law professor from Seaton Hall University was there mainly to promote her agenda that everyone who adopts internationally is racist and discrininatory whether they realize it of not. A so called journalist from Chicago, Roland Martin joined her in branding anyone who adopts overseas when there are African American children available here at home as racist, "preferring to adopt their 'porcelain dolls' from China because they think they are prettier and smarter".

Paula Zahn and her other panelist were no better, especially the taglines proclaiming that "many will be too fat, poor and ugly" to adopt from China. Even FOX News would have been ashamed to have aired that mess. CNN has had a reputation for solid reporting and responsible journalism, but that reputation has died, and Paula Zahn is the killer.

In two followup shows, there has been some backtracking, but still the issue has been badly handled, and the public misinformed. For such a sensitive issue to be handled so frivolously is irresponsible at best.
