This is great!

My complaint about CNN

I'm sorry, but I just can't avoid talking about CNN. To address this in a pedantic manner, in the rest of this letter, factual information will be prefaced as such and my own opinions will be clearly stated as opinions. For instance, it is unmistakably a fact that CNN can get away with lies (e.g., that the purpose of life is self-gratification), because the average person cannot imagine anyone lying so brazenly. Not one person in a hundred will actually check out the facts for himself and discover that CNN is lying. To pass off all sorts of raucous and obviously flagitious stuff on others as a so-called "inner experience" has never been something that I myself wanted to do. Never. I wish malicious power brokers had the gumption not to feature simplistic answers to complex problems. Let me recap that for you, because it really is extraordinarily important: When one examines the ramifications of letting CNN take rights away from individuals on the basis of prejudice, myth, irrational belief, inaccurate information, and outright falsehood, one finds a preponderance of evidence leading to the conclusion that it is extraordinarily brazen. We've all known that for a long time. However, CNN's willingness to pose a threat to personal autonomy and social development sets a new record for brazenness. The foregoing greatly simplifies the real situation, but it does indicate in a rough, general way that CNN's intent is to prevent us from asking questions. It doesn't want the details checked. It doesn't want anyone looking for any facts other than the official facts it presents to us. I wonder if this is because most of its "facts" are false. Let me conclude by saying that we who want to take up the all-encompassing challenge of freedom, justice, equality, and the pursuit of life with full dignity will not rest until we do.


Why do you have a complaint about my company on your Web page?

Whoa, scarily accurate!
