Hold On Loosely
 
Giving new meaning to the word "disingenuous," CNN anchor Drew Griffin pretends that CNN has no affect on what classifies as news, and how much coverage it receives.
 
DREW GRIFFIN: And this one: "How can any red-blooded American not be outraged by this "Holding Area" at the DNC?" It seems like any news can usurp John Kerry; is the pen issue, the holding pen issue going to knock them out of, knock the Democrats out of the center stage.
 
The reason that the "Holding Area" story has knocked Kerry off center stage is because CNN and other news outlets decided that it could be turned into a "hot button" issue; not because there is some kind of clamoring among Americans for more coverage of this topic.
