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.
