When I'm away from the computer or tv, the only "news" I can get is CNN on my cell phone. They seem to be getting more and more liberal. Or maybe I'm just becoming more observant.
well since Fox News is moving leftwards towards the middle, maybe CNN will move to the right of them!
As it is now, I hardly watch FNC anymore. I get home too late to watch Brit Hume, I occassionaly watch an H&C segment when I like the guest, I don't like Chris Wallace on Sundays, etc.
You the mean the good old 24/7 Prisoner Abuse Channel.
They are wearing me out with it and I'm sure they are either going to have to give it up or lose viewers. Based on the track record of most liberal media they will elect to lose customers in favor of pressing their agenda which is clearly anti-Bush - "Big Time".
I was in Germany recently for a week, and the only English program on TV was CNN International. It was torture.
They must use every international Communist "journalist" they can dig up to constantly put down America and the Bush administration.Maybe they do.
I just visited the site to test your thesis. You can scour the entire front page without running into the words "Abu Grahib" or "torture" or "Rumsfeld resign".
I did learn that "Hollywood is HOT for Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 911." But that's the only headline that made me want to go Elvis on the computer screen.
On the politics page, I found that "despite" the way they are handling Iraq, Bush's Iraq team is largely intact. Rather than "because" of the way they are handling Iraq.
They also mention that the results of their new presidential preference poll are out. Since it's not blazing headlines, I assume it's not big news for Kerry.
In further news, I found out that Dennis Kucinich has no public events scheduled today. Apparently CNN thinks it's still a 4 man race, despite the fact that it's late May and Kerry has 100 TIMES as many delegates as Kucinich. In fact, Kucinich only has 23 more delegates than I do. (I'm currently tied with Carol Moseley Braun.)
To be fair, most web site managers are that way all the time about everything.
Desperation?
It may also be dependent on who is responsible for a particular story. I still ignore CNN.
Fox News Sunday has tanked to useless as a general rule.
Stay tuned. CNN isn't going to change its stripes.
Moving toward the middle?! Um, no. Not as of 5:30 am this morning at any rate.
CNN is the DNC on cable!
No, you're just becoming more informed. That's the death knell for the liberal media.
I may flip on CNN in the morning from 5:30 to 6, because I just want to see if there were any overnight developments to take note of.
At 6 a.m. I flip over to Fox and Friends.
Slightly off topic, but did anyone happen to see CBS display a bit of a split personality yesterday morning?
I figured this isn't worthy of a vanity, since few here would watch CBS Sunday morning, but they had a commentary from Ben Stein. It was excellent. He blasted the media for it's fixation with Abu Ghraib, and ignoring other things, like the good being done, and the Nick Berg beheading. I wish I could find the transcript of it, it was really good.
And the next item on, after that?! Face the nation with more stuff on Abu Ghraib! It was ridiculous. As if CBS tolerated letting Mr. Stein have his time, and then moved on their merry way, making his point immediately. Wow.
Did you see the piece on so-called Lipstick Libs this morning? That was pretty bad, even for CNN.
I had a similar experience while in Mexico. All I could get was CNN International & BBC. This was when the prisoner abuse thing was breaking. I was totally depressed until I got back home to FNC.
I missed that. I can't imagine what it was about.
Lipstick? Libs? Lipstick libs? Hmmm...
I hope it was an audition. Andy Rooney is like 140 years old. Ben Stein is appealing to people that don't normally like Republicans. You see him on Craig Kilborne all the time and the audience loves him.
MSNBC has been taken over by Richard Kaplan....Clinton's ex butt boy.
