There is no news anymore, just entertainment marketing

CNN dot com has a feature that I just discovered (maybe its been there a while, I dunno).  On the main page there are headlines and next to the ones that have video with them is a little video camera icon.  Next to some of them is a t-shirt icon.  So I clicked one.  It takes you to a screen where you can purchase a t-shirt featuring the headline you just read with the tagline, “I just saw it on CNN.com” with the time stamp next to that.

So, a significant developing international story that could affect the worldwide oil market has been reduced to an ad slogan, “Russian missile obliterates spy plane.”
