Douchebags of the Day: CNN and Taco Bell

I LOVE Taco Bell. I fell in love with their food when I was a little kid and have loved it ever since. (I still wish they would bring their chili cheese burrito back.) However, I found this recent Public Relations piece for their new Cantina Menu on CNN, disguised as a news article, highly disturbing:


We all know how corrupt CNN is. From their fake coverage of Operation Desert Storm (an INSULT to our brave soldiers fighting and dying for our freedom), to PR pieces disguised as news like the one above, to "experts" promoting the sale of pharmaceutical drugs while pretending to provide an impartial analysis of those drugs, CNN is as corrupt as any "news" organization around, possibly even worse than FOX, ABC, NBC, and MSNBC. I am disappointed, though, that my favorite fast-food restaurant can take part in such deceptive advertising. This does not mean that I will quit eating at Taco Bell. Heck, I may even try their Cantina Menu (which is just normal fast-food ingredients remixed) in the future. However, I am still disappointed in Taco Bell's use of a "news" program to promote their product, and am disgusted with CNN's lack of ANY journalistic integrity.
