American Idol - CNN

There was an article on CNN about Jennifer Hudson's family being killed and it had the nerve to say "Jennifer Hudson's rise to fame came the old-fashioned way: through talent, hard work and a close-knit family". No offense, she suffered an awful tragedy. But when the EFF did AI become the "old-fashioned" way? It is the usual, SUCKY American handspring to fame with NONE of the work. And who are the 'tards at CNN?
