What I sent to CNN
"The fervor and degree to which each and every program has spoken the Republican talking points regarding Edwards becoming Kerry’s running mate has me appalled. It is becoming clear that there is no need for Bush to spend any money on cable news channels because between CNN, MSNBC and FOX News, they do not have to, you will do it for free. I can only conclude that the 4th Estate is in foreclosure and the Bush administration is holding the note."

I have been watching CNN most of the day and the shit they have been putting out has made me half crazed. I mean, Judy Wood(for Bush)ruff on two shows editorializing via inflection doesn't raise eyes? She needs to be sent down to local news where that is the rule.

All I have to say is "CNN=Liberal, yeah right" :mad:

2. It is so funny that the Rethugs...
think that the liberals control the media. But once again, they've sucessfully thrown this bullshit out there and it is now believed by all their sheep. Some of my buddies refer to CNN as Communist News Network.

5. Do you have a copy
I would love to read it.

BTW, Thanks for also sending a message. IMO they need to realize that most of us simply aren't buying their BS.

4. Good, they can add it to the one I sent earlier today
I lost patience with them around noon and sent a similiar email saying why don't they just read the White House propaganda memos word for word, instead of pretending they are reporting the news.

Yours is better.

8. It's the middle of the day anchors...
...that get me. The weak Kyra Phillips and Daryn Kagan. Both idiots, with talking points in hand. Thank God for Letterman for exposing them a couple of months ago.

11. I thought the worst one was
the guy who came on at 5:00, Wolf Blitzer's usual time. Wolf is still the most worst of all, IMHO.

13. I call them the "Conservative Noise Network"..
my father-in-law is retired and he watches CNN all day. He used to try to discuss things that he has seen with me but he has come to realize that I have absolutely NO respect for any of the corporate media including, I am sad to say, PBS, the Petroleum Broadcasting Service.
