Drudge on CNN

Politico reports Matt Drudge has declared CNN under the new leadership of Jeff Zucker has "gone tabloid," doing "pop" journalism. I have had this feeling for some time.

A fan of Erin Burnett since her days at CNBC, I've tuned into her show on CNN several times. The content is so shallow, so People Magazine-like that I've turned it off. Sadly, I think Matt Drudge is absolutely right in calling recent CNN content tabloid or pop journalism.
