2. Aren't there any DUers employed at CNN?
Seems there should be at least one, in the offices or in technical jobs, or do you have to put your party registration on your resume when you apply for a job? Any DUers at CNN? Fess up and report onwhat's going on. Maybe Skinner will allow you a separate registration so you don't have to out your regular DU handle.

And didn't get a single response!

If nothing else I usually get a pissy response from Ailes lol

5. I called a few people....
including John King, because he sometimes seems human. Anyway, I didn't get to him, but I did get someone who at least listened. She argued that they WERE doing their job, but I told her that their job wasn't acting as the p.r. arm of the White House, but to hold this administration accountable.
She had a "conference call" and couldn't stay on the line -- right -- but at least she heard me out.
I'm sure none of this will make a difference, by the way....

I heard about it on the forums at smirkingchimp.com, so I stayed up till 6am (I'm in the west) to send my e-mail at precisely 9am eastern! :-D

I doubt it'll change their minds, but at least they'll know that there's a lot of people out here PO'ed at their right-wing bias.
