Annoying things about the news

by clay on December 30, 2006

I'm watching CNN's coverage of Saddam Hussein's hanging, and something really bothers me. Actually, it bothers me that I'm watching CNN, but Greta Van Susteren is on Fox, and she just bothers me for some reason. However, CNN has given a name to their coverage: “Saddam Executed: Death of a Dictator”. Why? Do we have to give a name to everything? Why can't the just say, “Hey, we're talking about swinging dead dictators here!” Ugh.

I'm not sure how I feel about Saddam being hanged. I'm recently finding myself having mixed feelings about the death penalty. I don't know why, but I'm questioning the morality of it. That's a topic for another time though.
