Probably the best method is to not send it there in the first place.
For example, the script run by cron, /usr/sbin/run-crons, has this line
in it:
[ -x /usr/bin/logger ] && /usr/bin/logger -i -p cron.info -t run-crons
"(`whoami`) CMD ($SCRIPT)"
You can comment that out and then those annoying run-cron entries won't
be logged.
