Ok reporter lets take a look at your backyard. CNN will blatantly sensationalize and falsify stories just to get ratings. Then turn around and blame the sources when they are caught.
Your the one reporting the story Ms. Reporter, why aren't you verifying? Who here is really profiteering from base human impulses?

p.s. Lest I be misread, I am not defending Craigslist here, just annoyed at persistent MSM claims to moral superiority.
Calling someone else's backyard a mess might feel good - but doesn't say anything about your own.
On one hand the reporter is blaming Craig for providing the canvas for people to write bad things; on the other the reporter is actually doing the lying and manipulating to get paid.
This is like blaming the business owner for the comments graffiti artists put on his walls. Even if he does his best to wash them off whenever he finds them.
