CNN Warns Swine Flu Could Continue Through Sweeps 

Scary Reporting Spreads to MSNBC 
 
CNN reported today that its reporting of the swine flu story could
spread significantly in the days and weeks ahead and might continue
throughout the all-important May sweeps rating period.

CNN said that its early reporting of the swine flu story had been
contained to one or two hours a day but had recently increased to
all twenty-four hours.

"This is an alarming spread in the reporting of this story," said
Carol Foyler, a CNN spokesperson.  "We have seen swine flu spread
from primetime to all the other day parts."

Ms. Foyler said that in recent days CNN had identified several cases
of "increasingly scary graphics and fonts" about swine flu during
its news programs.

"These scary graphics are popping up everywhere in greater and
greater numbers," she said.  "These are signs that the swine flu
coverage is growing more intense and virulent."

The CNN spokesperson said that news host Lou Dobbs had even taken
time out from fear-mongering about immigration to fear-monger about
swine flu: "This is an unprecedented development."

Even as CNN reported that its broadcasting of the swine flu story
was on the rise, there was evidence that intense cases of swine flu
reporting had spread from CNN to MSNBC.

Said MSNBC spokesman Terry McTate.  "I don't want to frighten
people, but we haven't seen a story this scary since Y2K."
