Think of your assertion logistically. In order for CNN to conspire to subliminally brainwash it's audience as a matter of corporate policy would take a conspiracy of at least 30-40 people. You have to see the executives okaying it, the editors, the producers, the techs and then the shrinks who came up with the brainwashing to run. You actually believe that in 40-50 people not one of them would think it was wrong? Even at CNN you have to realize that at least one of these people would be conservative or at worst a decent person. It is just logistically impossible to think that this could be happening systematically.

I'm not a CNN defender. To hide facts or spin statements in favor of their viewpoint is something that can be done at a systemic level, but to think that some nefarious act like subliminal advertising could be going on for five years without anyone objecting or noticing. You're off the deep end. Stick to media bias. That can be quantitatively shown to be a systematic problem at CNN, NYT and all of the MSM. It's the type of conspiracy offered by the nutjobs on the left.

This was obviously the work of a single technician who probably didn't wish to confess and lose his job.

I didn't say that it had been going on for
five years..just that would seem to be a likely
horizon of investigation. Nor that it was a constant
concerted program. Asa far as the number of people
"in the know", I think that does not need to be as
large a group as you think. Could be a small group
of rogue techies,acting on the larger sentiment
of the Communist News Network culture, with access
to the main control facilities...remember that most
people in the control room need not know that
the signal has been altered, for it to be looked
at by them, and aired, messages inserted, if
they aren't seeing it being done.
