CNN-my home away from home

    Is it weird that I really enjoy watching the news? I think it's perfectly normal, but my family finds it weird/annoying that the news is almost always on when I'm watching tv. My favorite news channel to watch is definitely CNN. I definitely have my favorite news anchors. Wolf Blitzer is just the absolute best, but Anderson Cooper comes in a close second, and I really enjoy his Ridiculist at the end of his show. I'm not a huge fan of Brooke Baldwin or Erin Burnett, but I love John King, Don Lemon, and TJ Holmes. Oh, and I really like Ali. Is it strange that I have my favorite anchors and I know their backgrounds and personalities? I don't think so. I think it's important to know who is giving you your news. It's always a lot of fun when there are round tables and the people start fighting on them...it's kind of like an academic version of Jerry Springer. Ok, maybe it's not. And don't get me started on when there is non-stop coverage of a special event. The Diamond Jubliee...my eyes were glued on the tv for a couple of days there. And I would be remiss not to mention Richard Quest, the lovable British correspondent. I also enjoy Piers Morgan when he has a good guest on, but I loved Larry King. Larry king is the man. In conclusion, I love watching the news and the anchors are a big reason why. I like to stay on top of what is going on in the world, and CNN is my favorite method of doing so.
