CNN And The Movies
CNN journalists have come under fire for a number of recent appearances in films, including The Lost World and Contact. What do you think about the mixing of journalism and Hollywood?
Cheryl Krenchicki,
Gardener
"If this trend continues, journalists will become made-up talking heads concerned more with ratings than reportage. I would not want to live in such a world."
Wayne Poole,
Town Supervisor
"Did you ever see that one movie with Walter Cronkite about some war? I think it was called The Vietnam War. It was pretty good, but it kind of dragged in parts."
Roy Burnham,
Engraver
"I just can't trust reporters anymore. Not after Channel 12's Jill Nystrom convinced me to go to Cranberry Days and it sucked."
Neil Engers,
Pediatrician
"There's only one reporter I can count on to give me the news straight: Fact Or Fiction host James Brolin."
Denise Thon,
Systems Analyst
"TV reporters should not be appearing in movies. It's an abuse of their power and influence—power and influence that would be put to much better use spreading the Good News of our savior, Jesus Christ."
Pete Orosco,
Art Director
"Enough already: Kermit The Frog should stop fence-sitting and decide whether he's a reporter or a muppet."
