CELL PHONES IN MOVIE THEATERS!

WoW...That's the Best Name in News or whatever the hell they call themselves alrightyo.

and of course Fox is now asking the question "Could calls for President Bush's impeachment over NSA wiretapping, backfire and help Republicans in '06?"

2. Ive noticed CNN slowly becoming irrelevant and bland
They are cowards and it shows in the way they fear reporting the truth about the GOP. They are so freaking vanilla they make me yawn when I watch despite the attempts at this situation room and all the bells and whistles. Bland gutless news that fears offending the criminals

4. Seems like I remember an article where CNN brainiacs declared
that they wanted CNN to be more like Fox. Seems to be working.

7. Looks like CNN doesn't have the guts to become FAUX
or the integrity or foresight to move in the MSNBC direction....

or the honesty to actually just try and accurately report any news. Better to avoid the NEWS altogether it appears.

9. Y'know it's all the more sad
when I think back to when I worked there. Late 80s. That malaise, that blandness, that abject fear wasn't there.

Fox is the worst thing that ever happened to CNN. It made them question their own right to exist. It made them question the brilliant, populist, left-leaning vision that *invented* the cable news outlet.

CNN has strayed far, far, far from its original mission.

3. Compare and Contrast
how each news organization regards its 4th branch responsilities.

Extra credit for identifying the biggest offenders.
