Maybe i am wrong but i believe cnn.com is not created using wordpress, The blogs however are, and i don't have any problem with wordpress or any other CMSs (even my first website was a wp theme, which i created myself ofcourse), my current website is powered by ExpressionEngine(another CMS). I only have problems with 'fraud' designers that cheat to their clients,the other day a guy posted here that Smartcodes were nominated for awwwards site of the month/day because their website was outstanding, while we all know that they just downloaded a template created by other (real) designers.
