This is how #HoraGorani, one of CNN’s own “leading
women,” wrapped up her “show” the other day – much of it dedicated to the
beheading of the second American hostage by the ISIS lunatics: “Stay with CNN –
which means business is next.” Indeed – after the commercial break. Gorani also
bragged CNN was showing only a still image from moments before the gruesome execution
– but, of course, #QuestMeansBusiness had to show a moving image, just shy
of the real thing, too. The strategy to overdramatize “stories” which are
almost unbearable in their own right – with all available means, topped by the
inescapable Richard Quest – may be a bit pathetic. But it has probably bumped
up their ratings – as if to prove that no, there is no cosmic justice after all.
Or who knows?
