(GW Univ) Marvin Center turns TVs back to CNN (from Fox News)
http://www.gwhatchet.com/news/825588.html?mkey=99238

Televisions in the Marvin Center were tuned back to CNN this week after airing Fox News in what GW officials called a "mix-up."

Michael Peller, managing director of the Marvin Center, said the temporary switch to Fox News switch was due to human error because the cable company that serves the Marvin Center changed the channel number assigned to CNN, and then assigned CNN's old number to Fox News.

Some students said they were angered the University would air a station they thought was overtly biased. The station, which primarily features conservative analysts, has been criticized by liberals for pandering to the Republican Party.

10. Not Faux Lite ...... Faux Stealth

CNN is worse than Fox in this way: Fox is out there about being right wing. CNN still hides in the "honest news" costume. Their spew is as bad or worse than Fox, but more insidious because they're even more dishonest than Fox.

3. Why Bother
CNN is FOX lite. Now the BBC, FSTV or CBC would be a change for the better. Though it is heartening to see people try to make a better choice then the pond scum FAUX.
