No sooner had the piece of airplane wreckage been hauled to shore when the folks at CNN were all over it like buzzards on a carcass. Wolf Blitzer was absolutely salivating on screen, obviously overjoyed at the prospect of another week of nonstop speculation and navel-gazing over the missing Malaysian airplane.
I wrote about CNN's mental illness before regarding it's obsession with missing airplanes. It's a shame that its condition seems to have relapsed. Nobody watches CNN except those miserable people stuck in airport terminals waiting for their delayed flights. It makes sense for CNN to obsess over a story that air travelers would no doubt be interested in. It's merely catering to its captive audience.
Maybe one day, we'll obsess over other things.
