Can you imagine the prima donna anchors at CNN yelling and screaming at their staff if they were embarrassed on air by an early cut in?

[jonsie]

Well I didn't get a chance to see the live broadcast and saw it on C-Span with the "glitch" only CNN viewers were able to see. It was on purpose.

[Bombard]

Don't watch or read any of them.

"That is all I ever see at the airports and military mess halls. I think CNN runs their network toward businesses like the mafia: Even though no one wants to hear/see them, they push their ideologies in your face anyway."

Absolutely. I feel like a prisoner in Orwell's 1984 with the Onmipresent Telescreens every time I am stuck at the airport! Who does CNN pay off?

[Rosemont]

I wonder what the Castro News Network's next "mistake" will be?

[Ronin]

CNN should be banned from the White House press corps for a three month period as punishment.

[humblegunner]

Tony Snow should be out there all over this...

He's waiting for his handlers to put a caller on.

[gaspar]

How about an IRS investigation of CNN chief officers. Then when questioned why, George Bush can say it was a mistake. No harm, no foul.

Larry King is doing his show camped out on the US/Mex border in Ca.

.........and then has the gall to ask why this issue hasn't been a "bigger deal" until now.

We need more F-ing balloons!!! That was a classic....

Exactly. This stuff doesn't happen in a bubble, at not least with professionals, and CNN's track record indicates that they are either 1) incompetent, or 2) complicit. I'll choose door number 2

They should ban CNN on Air Force One once again, and tune every channel to Fox news for the rest of Bush's term. Let the press cry until they can't cry no more.

[Ronin]

That sounds like fun. Let's do that.

[Laverne]

Thats a funny thought, and so true; they are such prissy's! LOL. I think Tony Snow should pull all their White House passes for at least 30 days; this was not a mistake, not after the X...this was intentional. CNN should get kicked out of the White House.

[BallyBill]

They really should just hire Jon Stewart and his crew to run CNN. At least they admit they are fake news show.

[freekitty]

Still the same dimwits I see.

[Hand em their arse]

well said well spoken, pissant... : )

[spetznaz]

No way that was a mistake .....typical MSM stunt (and a rather kiddish one at that).

[Chickenhawk Warmonger]

Wasn't broadcast on Fox.

CNN should lose all press privileges at the White House. This could not possibly be just a "mistake" or all the networks would have had it. Couple it with the Cheney "X Marks the Spot" and you have media manipulation. Shame on them all. The FCC should be involved.
