Quote of the day

Via Bitch. Ph.D. comes this gem from the president of CNN, Jonathan Klein.

Brooke Gladstone's interview with Klein focuses on the question of the "runaway bride" story and what happened to CNN's promise of more rigorous journalism after Klein assumed the role of president.

Klein: If you were listening to me, Brooke, you would have heard me say that on some days, that story that we decide to focus on will be the runaway bride. On other days, the story will be the spread of democracy in Lebanon.
Well, that clarifies things a lot for me, Jon. More rigorous journalism--sometimes. And I love his attempted smear: "Who are you to argue with 'the people...'"

Argh.
