CNN doesn't mind saying that he is "openly gay" or a socialist but they can't bring themselves to say he is a "muslim". I think that pretty much sums up their entire approach to reporting any news story. BTW, is that dreadful Amanpour woman a muslim ?

I find it amusing that the most significant innovations to come out of his time as mayor is that he is known for splashy gestures such as turning the banks of the Seine River into a beach, replete with sand, palm trees and parasols, and organizing a city-wide, all-night party. FOFLOL. For centuries the river has run right though the middle of Paris. It has long been known as one of the world's most beautiful cities but I'll betcha no one ever thought it needed a beach with parasols until they elected an "openly gay" mayor.

Are we talking about the same CNN that reported Janet Reno's victory in the Florida gubernatorial primary right up until the time it became clear she wasn't going to win? I think they got it from the same folks who told them that Gore won Florida in 2000.

Best let's-not-be-judgemental news reporting of the week:
Lester Holt of MSNBC (I don't watch but I was in a restaurant and had no choice): "Alleged shoe-bomber Richard Reid confessed today to attempting to blow up a commercial aircraft and was sentenced..."

Alleged? The guy confesses, is convicted and sentenced and, at MSNBC, he's still "alleged"???

What companies still advertise on CNN?

CNN does not care about the USA they get a big chunk of their money form international programing. As long as CNN has that revenue they can financially afford to loose the USA rattings to FOX. (for now)

CNN is way too defective to be limited to a mere post. Their newsreaders actually belief they are journalists.
Their pundits believe their opinions ARE facts.
They don't get "it".
Their reporters understand no opinion but their own opinion.
Their reporters believe the public should not only be told what to think, the public should think as they are told.

[CNN] reporters believe the public should not only be told what to think, the public should think as they are told.

Yep, that about sums up what I think of the Communist News Network.
