Radio Host Prager Going Ballistic Over CNN's Non-use of Word "Terrorist"
KRLA Radio (Los Angeles) | truthkeeper

Posted on 09/28/2001 9:39:33 AM PDT by truthkeeper

You all should give a listen to Dennis Prager (syndicated radio host) right now. He is livid over the CNN/Reuter's decision not to use the word "terrorists" in describing the "alleged hijackers."

"I hate fools," Dennis says, and calls them "cowardly" and "incompetent." He states they don't "tell the truth" and/or are "manipulating the truth." (No news to FReepers.) He is asking his listeners not to watch CNN in protest; he states this is a first for him - he never tells listeners what to read or watch - but thinks CNN has gone way over the line. Furthermore, he says he is no longer going to be citing stories over the air sourcing CNN or Reuters as he feels they have lost all credibility.

Dennis says he has been invited on CNN a number of times, and if this means he is never invited back on again, so be it. He says it's time for all of us to stand up and be heard.

Good for you, Dennis.

The toughest part about lyin' or b*llsh*ttin' is you need a great memory so you don't step in your own stuff. Apparently, Reuters and CNN have no memory at all. In fact, their claim to being open minded is the only thing that is true. So open minded their brains have floated away and left them in their predicament(horsecrap). Poor souls. I will pray for them (while I retrieve the Jaw bone of an Ass).

Good question...and notice (post 52)how they had no qualms about calling McVeigh a terrorist!

Is that based on the first WTC attack? Isn't there a warrant out for him concerning that?

What gross, public stupidity. This from CNN, which is an "alleged news organization." Their "alleged reporters" have real sh*t for brains. So do their "alleged editors" amd their "alleged executives." IMHO.

To: truthkeeper, all
I have a question regarding CNN and cable/satellite systems: even if you "block" CNN from your system, doesn't part of the monthly fee STILL go to these SOB's? I'd like to cut their financial b*lls off...is there ANY WAY of getting cable/satellite service WITHOUT money winding up in CNN's pocket, or do I just have to go without service of any kind? (Back to 'rabbit ears', I guess.) I could live without television, but the wife...

Clearly, CNN reporters are pussies. They are afraid they'll get roughed up, maybe killed, if they call the terrorists what terrorists are: TERRORISTS. I'd like to buy a t-shirt with the CNN logo on it and a line through it. Know where I can get one?

KRLA WAS THE STATION THAT GAVE GEORGE PUTNAM THE GOLDEN SHOWER! WHEN PRAGER MOVES OFF THAT CHANNEL I MIGHT CONSIDER LISTENING TO HIM, BUT I AM BOYCOTING KRLA AND THERE SPONSORS OVER THEM PISSING ON GEORGE LIKE THAT. ANYTIME I SEE A KRLA THREAD I WILL REMIND PEOPLE HOW THEY EAT THEIR OWN!

I HEAR THE ONE GOOD THING ABOUT THAT STATION NOW, IS THAT IT CAN PUT YOU TO SLEEP WHEN YOU CAN'T SLEEP BECAUSE IT IS OFTEN THE MOST BORING ENTERTAINMENT ON RADIO!

BYE BYE KRLA, YOUR SPONSORS DON'T NEED LISTENERS ANYWAY!

McVeigh did not hijack the truck with the bomb in it, he rented it. And it has been proven in court that he drove the truck and that it had a bomb in it. So the proper description of McVeigh on CNN is not a terrorists, but "driver of a truck that happened to have a bomb in it, which he left near a building that happened to blow up."

There. That shouldn't offend anyone, except for a few thousand Oklahomans who lost family or friends in the bombing. Those people live in the "Red Zone." What does CNN care about them?

CNN has a new CEO, brought in to stop the bleeding of audience from CNN to Fox News. Seems like the new CEO brought his shovel with him and is digging like mad. The first rule when you find yourself in a hole is, "Stop digging."

Why, thank you!

It will take teamwork to defeat the "PC" crowd such as those at CNN, my friend! If we don't......we will all become sitting ducks for the TERRORISTS!!!

Re: Your post #70

GREAT post, Irma. I will send that link on to Dennis...I'm sure he will find it most enlightening. In fact, I'll bet he will even have a comment or two on the topic of "hypocrisy." Thank you!

Yep, Jay Diamond did Ronald Reagan and Ed Koch better than the real thing. And his parodies were pretty good, though he'd crack up at his own jokes a bit much.

Thanks for the update. Had wondered what happened to him. Any idea where he is now?

And how could you tune in WEVD in Alberta? Guess: you're really in the NY area.
