OK, CNN is garbage. There's no argument about that. But what alternative do we have? We have to watch a little bit (a very little bit) so that we know what others ARE watching. This is the big problem. It isn't just CNN. It's ABC, NBC, CBS, NY Times, WAPO, LA Times, TIME, NEWSWEEK, etc. The list is endless.
Fox is OK for the most part. We have the Internet with sites like FR and some others. We have talk radio. This is the huge challenge of our time. Although the MSM is weakened they are still formidable. They essentially got Obama elected. That's a fact.
I guess the fundamental problem is why people who are predisposed to be liberal are attracted to media. The people I grew up with and went into media did so to push a liberal agenda. They didn't go in because they wanted to get at the truth. They were idealogociallly predisposed to liveralism and they went into media to promolgate this idealogy. I can read these guys (and gals) like a book.
Again, this is the huge challenge of our time.
Anything that sells news is garbage.
CNN sells news when it's not selling itself.
With its "Senior" correspondent.
Or topics IT has chosen.
In other words where cameras dare tread.
Of course if the news has a conservative angle, it slants to the negative.
Where anti-Americanism, anti-conservatism, anti-love of freedom thrives.
Where terrorists are freedom fighters,
Where the word Christianity must never be uttered.
CNN sells news that will put everyone in chains.
