My CNN sucks moment was when Bernie Shaw and the other anchor cried when the house impeached Clinton.

While tying to escape Alan Colmes on Fox, I ventured to CNN’s Dobbs, as Colmes with his int-eruptive attacking style, his cockfight posture trying to drown out other opinions was just too much.
Soon Colmes will be gone to the better of FOX and myself.

She really has to step up to get past the media attacks. Unfortunately, too many middle class women are too catty to support a successful, attractive woman. They prefer ugly hags like Hillary, Feinstein, or Barbara Mikulski as representatives of woman advancing in society. One cannot be both intelligent and attractive in the womens’ movement.

I haven't watched CNN since the first Iraq war (Kuwait liberation) when it came out that CNN was on the take with Saddam. They had actually been broadcasting according to the direction of Saddam and the CNN senior correspondent (name unrecalled) was doing, in essence, propaganda work for the dictator. That did it and it has never appeared on my screen since.

I hope we all recall!

OK, CNN is garbage. There's no argument about that. But what alternative do we have? We have to watch a little bit (a very little bit) so that we know what others ARE watching. This is the big problem. It isn't just CNN. It's ABC, NBC, CBS, NY Times, WAPO, LA Times, TIME, NEWSWEEK, etc. The list is endless.

Fox is OK for the most part. We have the Internet with sites like FR and some others. We have talk radio. This is the huge challenge of our time. Although the MSM is weakened they are still formidable. They essentially got Obama elected. That's a fact.

I guess the fundamental problem is why people who are predisposed to be liberal are attracted to media. The people I grew up with and went into media did so to push a liberal agenda. They didn't go in because they wanted to get at the truth. They were idealogociallly predisposed to liveralism and they went into media to promolgate this idealogy. I can read these guys (and gals) like a book.

Again, this is the huge challenge of our time.

Anything that sells news is garbage.

CNN sells news when it's not selling itself.

With its "Senior" correspondent.

Or topics IT has chosen.

In other words where cameras dare tread.

Of course if the news has a conservative angle, it slants to the negative.

Where anti-Americanism, anti-conservatism, anti-love of freedom thrives.

Where terrorists are freedom fighters,

Where the word Christianity must never be uttered.

CNN sells news that will put everyone in chains.

It’s a pity a person can only stop watching CNN and other networks only once.

CNN is truly evil. Recognize it for what it is.

I’d say Miss Sarah certainly has them on the run.

CNN is so outdated. Expect massive layoffs as advertising revenues must be shrinking daily. And not only do they lie a lot, they never bring in any new blood. Like, man, who wants to look at wolf blitzer every day for two decades?! Apparently not too many people! Same old ugly characters, day in and day out for decades! NO wonder the are losing viewers in droves!

BOYCOTT ,baloney!
We must legally hire private detectives in New York to investigate EVERY single CNN employee, just like they did to the Honorable Governor Palin, and her children. Then, and only then, will they stop their crap. And I mean every single employee! And they had BETTER be sure they are filing and paying their Federal Income Taxes, or these private detectives will spill the beans on them! NOW.
