CNN STRIKES AGAIN And Strikes Out

Here I am, on pins and needles, candles lit and prayers a constant to bring our troops home safely after liberating the oppressed Iraqis and I find myself channel surfing to see what program has the least bottom scroll and best reporting. Having just switched from Foxnews, where the official comment was so far the war is going well, very well, as our forces move into Iraq, soften Baghdad for the big blitz (Shock and Awe). But then I move to WABC, and Peter Jennings is so-o-o- bummed-out and depressed I just can’t watch much and switch next to CNN, where that brow-knitted, pinch-faced Judy Woodruff is asking a reporter on the scene if the White House now considers this first strike a “dismal failure.” What? “Dismal failure” rings so loudly in my head, the utter contempt with which it was said by the propagandist Woodruff that I can’t really get out a good laugh when the reply comes back, “well, er, no.”

The network stations are reporting the liberation as though we were bringing the full force and might of the arrogant and bullying sole Superpower (as though we should be sharing that title with, say, France and the UN) on the ladies aid society, Baghdad annex. Invasion! They mewl. Tsk, tsk and tut, tut, tut. Their upset at actually having something in this administration start out so well must only be poisoned by the fact that that which they have been trumpeting, the Shock and Awe we have heard so much about, didn’t happen immediately! Not only are the liberal, propaganda media not known for their accuracy, but their patience takes a very close second.

The co-presidents Clinton brought terror to a new power and we are all going to have to live with it until we destroy it completely, once and for all.

BUMP

I watched Fox naturally last night, but my husband and i switched to CNN just for kix to see how they were handling it. We couldn't stand it more than two minutes. Cnn was so disorganized and chaotic in their coverage. Whereas Fox had it all together and their reporters "in the field" were easier to hear. Plus my husband liked the red-white-blue colors of Fox (said they were more patriotic than Cnn's orange-red-black color scheme).

Bump against the evil Woodruff/Hunt axis powers!

Save yourself some agony. Next time you get the urge to turn from Fox News to CNN, simply turn the TV off.

How much muff could a Woodruff stuff if a Woodruff could stuff muff?

With all of CNN's attempts to reorganize their programming to increase viewership, you would think they would can Judy Woodworth who clearly cannot help but show her contempt for all things American.

[ladyinred]

Opps, Woodruff, Woodstock, Wooden? :-)

Fox has just tromped CNN and "cack" ABC. MSNBC is a close second to FOX, but FOX is definately on the side of America, thank God.

And the President dared NOT to watch........TV! OMG!
lol They need to get over themselves, hehehe.

[Licensed-To-Carry]

Ask Al Hunt.

[bert]

Is that a question for Trimpotus Clinton?

[boxerblues]

doing the channel surf here also....CNN reports in the middle of the night were not all that bad, MSNBC also not bad. Female reporters on all stations seems to be doing more worrying than anything else. Just give me the facts not your feelings as you sit in the studio. Just wish FOX would have more info on some other units in the field, that s the only reason I surf, looking for more on the 101st

Next time you get the urge to turn to CNN, just go empty the cat box.

Thanks for the morning chuckle!

The troops are all watching Fox. That should tell you something.

Accidentaly caught a part of Jenning's coverage last night-was looking to entertain mr. uvular with America's Funniest Videos. There's Peter, talking to David Gergen, commiserating over how WH had not intended to have to use 'shock and awe' if the Wednesday night's bombing had been successful! Where the Bleep did they get info from??

Ticked me off for the rest of the night, along with going to Wal-Mart, and CNN on all the ceiling tvs-grrr.
