CNN WTF News Is The Future Of Media Thanks To Jimmy Kimmel (VIDEO)

Wolf Blitzer is typically a straight-laced guy on "The Situation Room," but things got a little crazy Tuesday evening when he dropped an "OMG" faster than a tween in a comment war on Demi Lovato's Facebook fan page. The comment came after he noticed a mere 75-vote difference between Rick Santorum and Mitt Romney's tallies in the Colorado caucus, which, granted, was a close race -- but there's still something that feels a little too "rapping grandma" about a grey haired dude in a blazer whipping out the LOLspeak on live TV. About Rick Santorum.

Jimmy Kimmel found the clip equally absurd, and so Wednesday night he proposed a new business plan for CNN. Sure, they can still talk about stuff like politics and wars and whatever, but just throw a lot more lingo in there. Make it more 2k12. We'll call the network "CNN WTF News" and everyone will be a lot more informed, probably.

it's not really that conservative. I'd say it stands more for "Centrist News Network" if you want conservative, take a trip over to FOX, I think most of them came from the 19th century. But that being said, I think most "liberals" in America are pretty conservative overall :-)

CNN WTF. Winning the Future? I knew they were in Obama's pocket, but I didn't think a far left blog site would call them out on it. WTF!

Comments like that are merely a shortcut to thinking. People like you take away from the public discourse and come November, people like you will be resoundingly put back in your place!

First of all it was a humorous post playing on the WTF the author meant and WTF the Obama campaign means (BTW, it seems we have been seeing less and less of the WTF slogan, hmmmm. . . .).

Second, people like me vote in high percentages, its the flippant voters who vote based on a feeling ("hope and change") that will likely not show up in November.

I remember the first time I saw an email from client who said "I'll FU later". Took me a while to figure out that he meant "follow up".

Note to self: never use "FU" in business email.
