Although most of what this rant contains is information we already know, it still makes for an interesting read.

"Professional"? How did that word get in there? CNN will upchuck over that. I Hope. As long as Ted T. loses more $$$$ CNN will be stupidly content, not realizing what they are doing.

For example, this past Saturday, over 3,000 people turned out in Atlanta, the home of CNN, to support the war on a dreary and rainy day. At the same time, there was an anti-war rally in Atlanta that was attended by twenty-two, that's right TWENTY-TWO protesters. CNN covered the 22-person anti-war rally.

That just about sums it up. You're right, we already knew all this, but it's still an interesting read and just another sign of the nails in CNN' coffin.

His numbers are wrong... the Atlanta Rally for America had approximately 25,000 people.

Maybe a middle east leader/thug would be offended by coverage of a pro-war protest. Can CNN risk being thrown out of terrorist controlled countries just for the sake of truth? I think not.

For example, this past Saturday, over 3,000 people turned out in Atlanta, the home of CNN, to support the war on a dreary and rainy day. At the same time, there was an anti-war rally in Atlanta that was attended by twenty-two, that's right TWENTY-TWO protesters. CNN covered the 22-person anti-war rally.

I have a bumper sticker that says CNN Lies. Several people seeing it, have asked where I got it. Many know that CNN lies. This is just unacceptable.

I spoke in person to the people in the Pentagon that CNN had interviewed and filmed for that report, and they told me how CNN edited what they said to make it seem like they were saying exactly the opposite of what they actually said.

I was in the Middle East when the Somalia conflict started. I was in a unique position of working at a satellite earth station that routed TV traffic to various spots around the world.

To make a long story short, I watched a 15 minute raw video feed out of Somalia (just un-edited video; no sound), then saw the edited and sanitized story on CNN at my hotel room that night--it was the exact opposite of what had happened.

Arnett, Jordan, Brown..... perhaps Turner can be next.

Someone at CNN must understand what they are doing. Forget fair and balanced. How about 'journalistic integrity'?

If I had a CNN email addy, I'd forward the above there. Anyone got one that MIGHT be a person with principles???

Correction:

I was at the Atlanta rally and CNN was there, covering it LIVE and they also did taped interviews with rally participants and ran the Rally story many times that day.

Not to be mean, but this article ranks up with there with such shockers as "dog bites man", "Liberals like taxes", "New York, still a state", "people think slavery is bad".

My sister works at CNN- The editorial decision makers there are definitely pushing a left wing agenda through their news coverage. Many of the employees are good people and don't like the lack of journalistic standards, but are afraid and want to keep their jobs so they shut up.
