Dear CNN,

Well, not all of CNN, but in particular, the morning segments of CNN. I've got something you need to know. While you get to decide what is the MOST IMPORTANT news of the day and repeat the stories ad nauseam, I get to read the news feed at the bottom to see what else is going on. However, as of late, there's one small problem in our mutually beneficial relationship - you've stopped scrolling stories across my screen. Instead, you inundate me with invitations to join you on Facebook or follow you on Twitter.

Look - Facebook is a time- and CPU-intensive waste of my morning. Therefore, I will not join your group or friend you or whatever else you want me to do. As for Twitter? If I wanted to follow someone/something whose sole purpose was to link to pages on its website, I'd follow all those bots as well. Because that's all you are - a bot.

So cut the crap, CNN, and let me use my twenty minutes or so watching you to tell me what else is going on in the world, and stop being so damn self-congratulatory.

Love and kisses,
Christine

P.S. - I love Robin Meade. She's the perfect combination of cheer and friendliness and good anchor. She's the anti-Katie. Give her a big raise.
