CNN: Fine tooth comb coverage of the NBA fight
Edited on Wed Dec-08-04 02:13 PM by tridim
Zero coverage of the election fraud forum, the most important story in American history. Unfuckingbelievable.

Edit: MSNBC and Faux too.

1. CNN is a joke plain and simple
Especially that ditsy pinhead Soledad. I can’t stand her.

2. They're thanking God that there's something else to play
besides that soldier's telling-off of Rummy.

3. Yeah, went to CNN after listening to Conyer Forum on
Pacifica, to find the "live coverage" of the NBA fight. Right, that's seriously way more important than vote fraud or democracy. Utterly disgusting. Gotta go send some thank you emails to the participants at the Conyer's Forum this morning, better way to spend my time today than trying to find some msm news coverage of this important event today.

4. Ultimate Stupidity
Not only are they telling the results, but they are running all the freaking footage of the fights in slow motion.

"Here you see Artest striking..."

"You notice that none of the Pistons through a punch at any time."

"Now he will strike Jones three to four times..."

What a complete waste of the airwaves.

5. The next Outfoxed should have a broader scope.
Like the scourge of "infotainment" and the general dumbing down of news. It would be great to do a comparison of what's showing on CNN and BBC or even Euronews at the same time.

What a joke.

7. Got a telephone call today that was an automated poll by my Local TV
station. They asked if I wanted to participate. Sure, I figured it was on the voting fraud issue. Question 1:

"How important is the recent coverage of the basketball brawl to you?"

I said "not at all"...but I can't believe that they'd spend the time to poll people on this and not the stolen election.
