You can't shame the shameless... That's my new mantra. Watching CNN
Edited on Wed Dec-29-04 08:56 AM by henslee
pundits twist around accusations that Bush Admin. is being stingy toward Tsunami relief effort and that his public statement is coming too late.... Amazing how it gets twisted around into a codemnation of the U.N. and America-haters. Screw CNN. The view from the left is hardly left and he's a crap speaker to boot. The game is fixed and shameless at every level.

7. here's a piece of hate mail from the Foxblocker website.


This is interesting. You liberal left-wingers, who dominate the news media -- (95% Democrat liberals) and who claim to be the defenders of freedom of speech, are going ballistic when one station has the tenacity to stand up and tell the truth about what is happening in the world. And your answer is to try to censure dissenting journalism. This is pure Nazi tactics.

You want Fair and Balanced? You've got it with FOX. Oh, you want left-wing hate propoganda? You've got MSNBC and CNN. Too bad for you that the majority of this country is seeing Fox News and getting the WHOLE story. No wonder they are fast becoming the #1 News Service in the country...

2. Did they drag out Cliff May again?
They always seem to trot him out when they need someone totally shameless to spout the BushCo line (when they need someone to defend the indefensible).

18. Yes, I don't miss CNN at all!
No more Wolf, Candy, Bobblehead Bill Hemmer - it's great since we went to very basic cable.

11. Have you noticed all of the BLACK Rethug Pundits? BFFE is pouring

13. Look no further than that insipid "most trusted name in news"
to know that CNN is awful. The Tsumami wasn't news for them right away - how big Christmas sales was there big concern on Sunday. So they mirror * in callous disregard. Why would anyone say 'most trusted "name" in news' - because you can't say most trusted reporting.... :puke: on CNN

15. It used to be "most trusted name in news". Not anymore. BTW,
when I see CNN International when I'moutside the U.S., I notice that it's much more like CNN (the real news station) used to be.

And, of course, BBC is great.

But then, the BBC channel in the U. S. is not as good as the BBC channel outside the U. S. Guess they had to "dumb it down" for Americans.

It's so sad, I'm a real news junkie and it's gotten so hard to find real, authentic news information anymore. The Internet is great but it's hard to use when I'm driving in my car, or doing the ironing, etc.

21. Best idea yet!
Why don't you introduce this idea in it's own thread so that everyone can see it and take part?

I hate to sound sick out this, but we need to flood the news media with a tsunami of emails that reflect our disgust with their biased reporting.

20. Glad the election is over
I was somewhat addicted to the cable news stations (DU as well) and found myself swearing at the TV -- especially when tuned into CNN. Wolf Blitzer and Candy Crispy Cream seemed to be employees of the Bushco re-election team. Judy Woodruff just loved to bash Kerry and was reporting that the election was over in early September. Now, I don't even turn on CNN and my life is so much better. I have long advocated that we boycott CNN and their advertisers. It is a given that we do the same for Faux.
