CNN's Bob Franken -- self declared "world citizen"

Jay Rosen has written a long piece here, but one worth reading -- at least skim it for the high points and mindset stuff that explains a lot of what we see on CNN...for surely Franken isn't the only one on the CNN staff with this bizzare outlook.

Press Think

"When I’m Reporting, I am a Citizen of the World.”
That's a quote from CNN's Bob Franken. A tour through his press think shows why I ask the Big Journalism Deans: if schools like yours are supposed to spread the gospel, how do they know they have the religion right?...

“Wearing an American flag while on the air leaves the impression that we are believing the U.S. government and not believing those who challenge the U.S. government.” (Bob Franken.) Weird, pre-emptive statement. How does Franken know what image is left on the retina of viewers?...
