Re: CNN Coverage of FIRST next week
... a 24/7 cable news network refusing to air real news and instead wanting to cover the same pundits' harebrained opinions over and over? What is this witchcraft?

Spoiler for Hey, I'm a college student, so shenanigans come with the position:
If you really want to get them to cover the event, use some shenanigans and respond to the email with something worthy of a Billfred Burn Award, like

"Dear CNN,

I'm truly sorry that you will not be able to cover the FIRST Championship Event nest week in downtown Atlanta, as I was looking forward for all my friends and family being able to check it out from home. However, due to this unfortunate turn of events, I am now going to respond back to MSNBC/Fox. [Pick one, though I'd lean more towards Fox if you want the shock value]

Thank you for your time and consideration,

- Your Name"
Concise, lacking detalis, twisting the truth, and full of shock value. Now we're speaking the language of cable news.
