Why You Should Care, and stuff.

So apparently CNN Newsroom (this is the one that is on when I am getting ready for work) now has a segment called, “Why You Should Care”.

Basically they do what television “news” does. They find two people who disagree about something and let them fight with each other. The CNN person acts like a referee, but thinks that she’s a journalist.

I only thought it was funny because of the segment name: Why You Should Care.
Is it the fault of CNN that we don’t? Or can I blame FOX NEWS for this somehow? Or are these jack-asses just trying to make a living?

I don’t know.

But this is a spot of bother for me. Normally I’m great at assigning blame!

Also, the two guys arguing with each other, they were arguing about whether or not the children of illegal immigrants should be allowed to apply for federal student aid to go to college.

One guy was all, if they can get into the damn school in the first place, let them go! They are basically Americans!

The other guy was all, they are taking the spots and the financial aid away from actual Americans!

At the very least, at least it was an interesting question.

Not really though. Of course we should let them go to school.

The difference between a Mexican immigrant today and an Irish immigrant of a hundred years ago, is just the law. If we had had these laws back then, you’re great-grandfather Irish McIrishson would have been illegal too. And you’re grandfather wouldn’t have been able to go to school.

Look CNN! You totally convinced me to care!
