Once again, CNN.com is running a top news story about kid’s lingo
In the clip, the two anchors discuss new catch phrases that kids are learning and are now in urbandictionary.com
Here are some of the words:
Kraft singles – means dollar bills
Agnorant – means someone who is arrogant and ignorant
Anchor – means to wait
Bluetool – a person who wears their Bluetooth all the time, even when they’re not talking on the phone
Marinating – means hanging out
Multi-slacking - slacks on a lot of things at once
Breaking your crayons – getting upset
Leafve Britney alone – expression when trying to tell others to leave you alone
I think that with all of the things going on internationally and at home, this is what CNN decides to report? I think this is yet another lapse in judgment and I think that this takes away from serious journalism.
I think this is biased because this clip attracts attention (because let’s face it, reporting on some policy issues, isn’t that interesting).

This is a fun feature -- that's about it. But when you have to fill 24 hours of time, you rely on some of these types of stories to fill that time up. No, this is not a lead story -- but I think it has its place.
Don't be too tough. There's some room for entertainment -- as long as it's presented as such.
