Totally agree. In fact, that goes for all of TV news except PBS for me.

CNN is doing this really messed up news segment called 'Target: America'. It's so blatantly fear mongering that it's sad. That and Amanpour's 'Tracking Bin Laden' pieces are agonizing. The ads for these shows are everywhere.

And then after those ads come the drug ads which scare you some more...
