Here goes CNN again... Jack Cafferty needs to go!
All he had to talk about was how the balloons didn't work, poked fun at Kerry resuscitating a "gerbil" (didn't even get that right, it was a hamster), then proceeded to shake his head in disgust and say "That guy (Kerry) was SO lame!" Of course, his cohorts Heidi and Billy squealed with glee at his moronic statement. I thought Hemmer would never stop laughing.

The media must really be scared now... I think they're about to take the gloves off completely! :grr: :argh:

1. I think Carol (giggles) Costello is the worst of them all...
This morning she said Kerry looked like "A king or something" as he walked through the crowd before taking the podium! WTF? Has she not watched king dumbass* preening for the last 3 1/2 years?!?! I can't stand that HO!

:grr:

4. They must fax her the Moody memos straight from Faux...
Fox Internal Memo

Date: 7/30/04

From: Moody

Last night, John Kerry accepted the Democratic nomination for President. Today, we must work the following phrases into our reporting of the Kerry speech:

"Kerry's salute = lame"
"Bush-bashing"
"French-looking"
"Al Sharpton"

That is all...


John Moody

2. CNN is no better than Faux...

...and Cactus Jack Cafferty is evidently unemployable as a real newsman (hence the "resident curmudgeon" role he plays).

Fuck Cactus Jack*, Hemmer, and every conservative piece of shit on CNN...

(I call him Cactus Jack because he actually resembles a cactus...)

12. CNN completely cut out Clark's great speech
FOX, of course, was running commericials. PBS and MSNBC had it. It was interesting flipping the channels to see who covered what. can they not be anymore blatant.

6. Oh common, give Jack a break. That's his job on that show.
If you listen to that show, you will see that his job is to be the daily cynic. I know that, and I can accept those comments from him.

The ones that really piss me off are the commentators that pretend to be real reporters, and either screw it up royaly or slant so bad, they nearly fall over.

7. No, you give me a break...
I'll accept your point the day I see him being "cynical" about any right winger or republican. He is the "court jester" and springboard for allowing the rest of the morning show whores to laugh and pretend it's OK to bash Dems. He sets it up and Heidi, Bill, and the rest of them run with it.

Oh, he has his purpose on the show alright, but it's just to legitimize all the Dem bashing that goes on. Why don't they have a "Jack" counterpart who trashes the Rethugs all the time? See how it works?

8. I will watch him after the Pub convention. If he doesn't do the same
I will appologize to you.

I mostly listen to him on Sat. on "In the Money" so I really haven't noticed any bias.

10. No need for apology...
thanks, though. Yeah, ole Jack has been a real rag-tag spoiler on the daytime show for a long time. He really is just a "prop" for lead-ins to RW talking points and to give the morning crew a segué into Dem bashing.

I'll have to say this. Jack has gone over the top a time or two and Hemmer or another has actually had to reign him in, and have done so. I just think they should either get rid of him OR... get someone on there at least every other day or so in his place who can be the "Dem's curmdgeon". Peace! :hi:

9. Hell, Yeah, Flubadubya!
I'm with you on this all the way! If and when I hear one negative syllable out of Jack's sour slit of a mouth, I'll give him a break!

He's the worst kind of pundit: pretending to be disappointed in anything a Dem says or does.
