  • CNN American Idolatry

    Perhaps the slowly sinking mainstream media news outlet should stick to covering stories about pirates.  Below is an image of CNN‘s attempt at blogging American Idol’s results show.

    One thought:  spoilers are generally revealed when the contestant’s picture is bigger than the blog post.   (Note:  this is the same CNN that blew Kal Penn’s suicide on House earlier this week.  Thanks for that one,  guys)

    cnn-idolatryNote:  the above is not a live document.  Do not click on the links.  They are included to show the entirety of CNN’s 62 word  cutting-edge news coverage.  I especially enjoyed bumping the tag list up by including the category “uncategorized”.  I guess the TV grafix folk don’t get that whole resizing an image on their blog difficult task.

    And we doubled their word count, but were still relevant rather than gushing, Kudos to you, Scott!

    In true SCR fashion, the boys tackle everything from music sales to wayward musicians and a special guest interview with Gabe Dixon of the Gabe Dixon Band.  Dixon, the classically trained piano player living in Nashville, has been played with the biggest names in music and his tri0 is quickly becoming acclaimed for musicianship above and beyond the standard piano pop.

    As Double G says, “Only on Sonic Clash Radio can you segue from T.I. to Gabe Dixon”
