CNN Oberfuerher Klein can't even control the lightning-fast leaks out of his editorial meetings let alone control the world as he'd love to do.

We should stop posting articles and links from CNN on FR.

Just sayin...

They used to have Neil Boortz on quite a bit, mainly because he was right there in Atlanta and I think their studios are fairly close, if not in the same complex.

I assume then, CNN will also ban attacking talk radio show hosts who are now no longer given an opportunity to defend themselves.

One should never ass u me.

Tonight’s Mort and Charles weak response to Rush’s comments were past pitiful. CK’s making light and Mort’s denials were faint admission of guilt!

I really don’t think they even understand the issue!

Sad, that!

While my respect for them has been reduced even further (except for Lou Dobbs) I still want to hear about any interesting things they have to say.

It's the same reason I watch Morning Joe - I gotta hear what the opposition is saying and that show I can at least tolerate most of the time. I watch *nothing* else on MSNBC and very little on CNN. I never see the alphabet networks. Ever. Fox is on in the house in the background a lot but you gotta have alternate sources of info or you get into a lot of trouble.

Plus, as long as we FReep, we're in great shape! :0)

"CNN"? What is this "CNN"? I cannot find it on my radio.

(And I do not watch teeheevee -- ESPECIALLY when they are pretending to present news. KILL YOUR TV)

His internal polling wasn't good, and he was at risk of losing Texas, which had not ever voted Republican in any presidential election.

Not true. Texas and lots of southern states voted for Hoover in 1928 mainly beacause Al Smith was Catholic. Texas also voted for Eisenhower both in 1952 and 1956. Eisenhower was born in Texas, was a popular victorious general, and the Truman administration stole offshore Texas oil between 3 and 10 miles from the coast. In the annexation treaty, Texas claimed waters 3 leagues from shore (9 nautical miles, a little over 10 statute miles). Eisenhower promised to sign legislation to give back the mineral rights to Texas.
