News Flash: CNN is 'substance free'

Here's an amusing one straight from the "oh, really? who could have known?" Department.

Salon's in a flap about how CNN and MSNBC reporting of the big Democrat gig in Boston is "substance free."

CNN wasn't alone. Over at MSNBC, soon-to-be "NBC Nightly News" anchor Brian Williams snagged Sharpton by the podium for an interview and pressed him on the exact same point; why was his speech longer than expected and was he concerned he had messed up the timing of Edwards' speech?

What, exactly, does that have to do with journalism, with analyzing information, with educating voters? It's embarrassing to watch.
