Posted on 05/18/2003 4:05:31 PM PDT by patriotsfan
This is my first time posting , so sorry if it is a little rough. I was wondering if anyone else has noticed that CMT has been playing alot of programs featuring the Dixie Chicks? It seems like they are trying to revive there sorry careers.

A lot of media outlets - print, tv, cable, etc - are trying to revive the Ditsy Twits - I wish nothing but failure and hard times on the whole lot of them.
I never cared much for their "wall of cats" sound anyway...

YES! I've noticed that too, this weekend.
What do you expect from a commercial venture?

I was channel-surfing yesterday and saw Natalie's huge mouth on CMT. In fact, like you, I have been seeing them on there almost every time I check past CMT.

That goes ditto for me too. I never thought these women were that talented and Natalie's singing sounds more like she is whining.

You'll love this :
A teacher asked her students what their daddies did for a living.
A little girl said: " My Daddy is a Doctor. He makes people get all better ! " ... and the class applauded.
Another child said: " My Daddy is an Architect. He designs tall buildings ! "....again the class applauded.
A little boy stood up and said : " My Daddy is..uh..a STRIPPER in a gay bar ." ....there was shocked silence.
The teacher broke in hastily. " Why don't we all open our new Reading books to page 5, and look at the picture. "
After class ended, she took the boy aside, and whispered:" Your Daddy isn't REALLY a stripper in a gay bar, is he ? "
The little boy blushed. " No. I just said that so they wouldn't find out he plays guitar for the Dixie Chicks ! "

I'm watching them right now on CMT with James Taylor. And there does seem to be a lot of Tim Robbins movies on lately. Aside from Shashank and Bull Durham, I caught part of Eric the Viking on yesterday.

Does anyone know who owns CMT?

Reminds me of what I sometimes tell people when they ask me what I do for a living. Lots of times people will say some negative (redundant word?)comment about lawyers and later ask me what I do for a living. After I tell them "I'm an attorney" they get a sheepish look on their face. I then tell them, "But don't tell my mother, she'd be disapointed. She thinks I'm a piano player in a brothel".

Viacommie owns CMT. The same people that own SeeBS, eMpTyV, VH-1, NICK, SPIKE, and Simon & Schuster.
CBS hired Bill Clinton for $1million and S&S paid Hillary an $8million advance on her book years in advance (so that the payment wouldn't conflict with Senate ethics rules).
Coincidently, when VH1 and SeeBS rebroadcast the Concert For New York where Hillary was BOOED by the firemen and police officers, the footage was redubbed to replace the boos with CHEERS. This is the version that wound up on home video as well.
Big Media's bias ia showing, meanwhile the left complains of Clear Channel's monopoly.
