CNN"s "Completely Unreliable Sources" sucks rant

[donkeyotay]

I'm so mad! I turned on the telly Sunday morning,(I know, bad move) and on one CNN station they're asking if news stations have become red and blue, with Reptilians watching FUX and having their beliefs reinforced by their news, while Democrats watch CNN... the blue state news! Arrghh!!! CNN is has bad as FUX! They don't represent my view!

So then I turn to the other CNN station, and they have on "Reliable Sources." Their topic is Sinclair and some blowhard - Schieffer maybe - is saying that the shareholders had brought pressure to bear and that Sinclair had made the broadcast more balanced because of that and that THAT'S THE WAY IT SHOULD WORK IN A CORPORATE DEMOCRACY!!!

Fuck off CNN

A) You don't speak for liberals.
B) There probably wouldn't have been shareholder pressure if the activists like those here hadn't alerted them, and C)

a CORPORATE DEMOCRACY IS CALLED FASCISM.

1. Here is what I did

I wrote to CNN/reliable resources, and told that they have lost all credibility with the moderates/liberals, and the so-called blue states

Write and let them know how you feel

2. That's the blind

A totally propogandistic organization like Fox News vs. a problemattic and pro corporate but mostly mainstream news Organization like CNN. Nobody represents progressives because our views aren't important.

3. All of CNN sucks

I am watching late ediditon now, with Blitzer trying to create news by selecting polls thqt show Kerry ahead in some swing states to try to get a rise out of Racicot, and using polls that show Bush ahead in order to get a rise out of Lockheart.

In both cases they are selecting polls to serve the purpose of effect. While Kerry is aheadin Ohio in poll averages, they purposefully select ONE particular polls to get the effects they want,doing the same with people from the Kerry campaign.

I supprt Kerry whole heartedly, but dispise such methods when used by the media, because CNN tends to break for Bush, and only uses these methods when it serves there ultimate end which seems to get Bush elected.

CNN became a leading network as a result of its coverage of a BUSH war in the early 90's.
Any Bush travesty tends to up their ratings as they are the "War Network"

4. We, the Corporations of the United States, in order to form

a more perfect Union, establish Justice as we see fit, insure domestic Tranquility for ourselves, provided for the common defence of Multinationals, promote the general Welfare of Corporations, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to CEOs and shareholders, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United Corporations of America.

Sorry CNN, I haven't looked at the Constitution lately. My bad!

5. Darn, it's in the Declaration of Independence, too

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all corporations are created equal, that they are endowed by their Board of Directors with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Profits.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Multinational Corporations, deriving their just powers from the subjugation of the governed...

And then there's the part that's never added:

That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness...

6. shameless kick because this is the way it starts

This just happens to be the first time I heard anyone on television openly claim that we live in a corporate democracy. Especially if - perish the thought - the shrub is "re-elected," corporate television cannot be allowed to repeat this lie until it becomes the truth for most Americans.

There is no such thing as CORPORATE DEMOCRACY. A government of, by and for corporations is called fascism. Citizens to not derive their rights from being shareholders.
