Glad to see you two finally got together.

I'm not surprised to see that there's an overlap between fans of Plum's and fans of Steyn's, since I'm one, too. But I am surprised to see Red Green go into the mix. I thought I was the only one. We must constitute a very small minority.

I think it's Sauropod who had another Red Green tagline and inspired mine for this week. However, I doubt he's got any connection with Plum.

The New York Times:"All the News That's Fit To Print Print to Fit"

[xm177e2]

That... is a fine slogan. NO BLOOD FOR RATINGS!

[RobFromGa]

thanks and bump. Good comments about the "Lesbians for Non-Discriminatory Rich Social Golf Clubs" protest at Augusta.

Steyn is the best writer I've seen since Coulter and Sowell. I wish Steyn'd get on www.Townhall.com

Bump for later reading

The day CNN has to fold is going to be a big day to celebrate. Once the downhill slide starts, it is difficult to reverse.

[Tripleplay]

How about

"No blood for the priveledge of being censored"

[battlegearboat]

Maybe Jane Fonda, in a bid to seek redemption and become a 'Christian Martyr", will strap on a suicide vest and detonate herself at a CNN board meeting thus bringing down that international brand of Carefully Nuanced News.

I'm not so sure about that.

Keep your stick on the ice.

Steyn hit the nail on the head here !:

CNN’s slogan is “The Most Trusted Name In News”, which rings a little hollow now. I like the counter-slogans doing the rounds on talk-radio: “No Blood For News”.

Or for Access, etc. CNN's slide will continue alright ! FOX News rules the Roost and will for some time now !

[DCPatriot]

If I became aware that murders were going to be committed...and declined to notify "the authorities" or the intended victims...aren't I guilty of a crime of sorts?

[WaterDragon]

Thanks for making sure this one got posted. It's a treasure!

"...the network that traded lives for access.."

The arrogance of deliberately telling us lies, day after day, then admitting doing so but without remorse or promise never to do it again.....really, you'd have to be mentally challenged, severely, to tune in to CNN for 'news.' And that includes going to their website. I am not mentally challenged, thank God.

[Gritty]

What? CNN and The New York Times are still in business?

The should re-name them Fairy Tales For Liberals!

[freedumb2003]

Rent-a-Rev Jesse Jackson, President-for-Life of the People’s Republic of Himself

As always, in a few words Steyn captures the complete essense of JJ

Someone should mention to Jackson he is the only thing in the world more irrelevent than the UN.

[Dog Gone]

Wow, he whacked both CNN and the NY Times in the same piece. That makes for some enjoyable reading.

[JusPasenThru]

Bump. Love your tag line.

[NewYorker]

A Steyn fix! Whew! Just in time, I needed that.
