CNN: Your Near-Miss News Source

Chris Worth points us to this illustration from a CNN story:

He writes:

Am I the only one to find the illustration and its caption somewhat surreal? Dunno why – it relates to the subject matter, and syncs well with American media’s unstated aim of converging news and entertainment- but I can’t quite grasp the mentality that felt this picture would add value. Then again, maybe I’m just losing touch.

Oh, Chris, it’s all of a piece with other recent coverage in CNN:
