jonas brothers exclusive coverage larry king

I totally get the buzz about the Jonas Brothers. I was once a teeny-booper and loved The New Kids on The Block, and all the other crappy manufactured bands similar to the Jonas Brothers…but can they please not invade my CNN? I’ve been up trying to watch this damn Iran coverage and I have to sit through a half-hour of Larry King exclusively cover the Jonas Brothers’ World Tour asking them hard hitting questions about their love life (in which they avoided), their new album, and other typical Larry King questions. Don’t get me wrong, I love Larry King, but to cover their World Tour exclusively?

The funniest thing about all of this is having to sit through promo blocks that go a little like this: “Iran’s votes aren’t being counted and people are dying in protests” cut to: Screaming kids and Larry King coming on saying “I’ve got exclusive coverage on The Jonas Brothers World Tour…only on CNN!”

Come on CNN, give it a rest. I know it’s pop culture and everyone is in a J.B. frenzy these days, but don’t invade my damn news channel…and CNN: leave poor Larry out of this…he’s getting too old to deal with this s#it.

If this is CNN’s way of trying to bridge the gap and bring in a new audience, just don’t…or at least bring in a younger correspondent to deal with the younger demo.

Poor Larry…

    Nads, I’m not a Jonas Brothers fan, but I will say it’s unfair to call them a “manufactured” band. First, they’re brothers. They weren’t thrown together by some producer. Second they play their own instruments and write their own songs. Like their music or not, you can’t say they are any more manufactured then any other band that appeals to a particular demographic.

    ANNND from what my girls tell me they are two brothers and one other non-brother. Maybe not completely manufactured but def Disney chosen and shoved down our throats!

    Actually they are all three brothers – Joe, Nick and Kevin Jonas. And they are cute and light and bubblegummy. I agree with Nads – they aren’t really CNN caliber.

    But then again Larry also interviewed Speidi last week – so I am not sure I feel sorry for “Poor Larry” – maybe “Poor Larry” needs to stop being a sell out suck up.

    Ugh, I can’t stand the Jonas Brothers. Any of those Disney kids nowadays have no real talent – Miley Cyrus and the Hannah Montana crew, the Jonas Brothers and all of those other terrible tv show casts.

    It’s depressing to me that CNN covers this. Why can’t they leave this stuff to MTV and cover REAL news?
