6. I watched gobs of CNN back in the first Iraq war, and for a long time after.

But it's utterly unwatchable now. Mega-panels filled with talking-point idiots screaming over each other... BLEHHHHHHH no. :p

Not to mention the horrible right wingers they pay for their "opinions," like Santorum.

I'd say its about 50/50... On those 2.... MSNBC and CNN both sometimes piss me off no end.

I get a lot of my news from the independents Amy Goodman for instance. But these shows hardly have any Repub guests on for hard ass debates.. often MSNBC and CNN bring a Repub pundits as well as congressmen for some hard ass kicking...

But if I encounter him on at the gym or wherever, I just put the earbuds in and turn up the music.

It's nice here.

Our television plays DVDs and Netflix. That's all it does.

18. Blitzer and Candy Crowley were the long-time Republican backbone of CNN.

That is why they were called the Conservative News Network, although there was nothing really conservative about them--just right wing lite.

Crowley apparently pissed Trump off in 2016, and wasn't "pretty" enough for Fox, so she seems to have faded into the woodwork.

I wish Ted Turner would come back and take the place over. Blitzer's job there would be sweeping the floors before the ink was dry on the deal.
