Bloggers are under attack

[whosinpower]

I watched a little of CNN the other night - and they were talking about the exit polls and how the evil bloggers somehow got a hold of erroneous numbers and how it was their fault that people were thinkning that Kerry would of won - when that simply was not true.

They went on to talk about how "relevant" their brand of news media was vs the internet and bloggers - talked about how much more traffic they get to their site vs bloggers etc.....

It was REALLY a BASH BLOGGER DAY...all I thought was how desperate they were becoming to try to hide their tracks.

1. I feel extremely lucky

I don't get CNN at all...

2. Sounds like CNN is getting worried ...

that people are being given an alternative news source (not bloggers as much as the Internet in general) and is trying to do a quick brainwash in order to get people to stick with them so they can continue to get ratings and thus advertising dollars.

3. I've made a concerted effort

not to have anything to do with CNN since election day

5. Well - here is what I do

I read ALLOT on the internet, through a variety of sites and bloggers...and then sometimes I watch CNN -just to see their take on a story...that is, IF they pick it up at all. Know thy enemy.

You know it is interesting that they atrribute a bloggers work to debunk ABC's story on Bush national guard papers...and THAT was rewarded...but election fraud, complete with pretty clear evidence....well you get my gist.

4. I used to watch CNN in the morning before work

Now I've decided to keep the TV off and instead read the Nation of the New York Times.

6. Down with CNN.

I stopped watching CNN a couple of months ago. Cable news is hopeless except for Countdown. Now it's AAR all the way, the TV is only for entertainment.

7. I wonder why they are desperate to paint the exit poll numbers as wrong?

I've pretty much stop watching CNN and MSNBC altogether.

They seem to have an agenda and don't just report the news.

I don't need to hear their opinions. I'm capable of forming those myself.

8. Wasn't the media praising the bloggers

Just a couple of weeks ago, when they were uncovering the bogus documents at CBS?

10. First they ignore you, then they attack you, then you win.

We are in stage two now.
