Corrupt Gallup poll convinced my mom to write off CNN!
She doesn't have the Internet and has relied on CNN, MSNBC and C-SPAN for her t.v. news. Today she commented on how bizarre the Gallup poll is when compared with the 3 yesterday showing the race tied. She said she's finally had it with CNN! I've been working on her about this, and Gallup just proved my every argument about CNN's Repuke connections.

1. Good for her! More of these cable non news programs need
to bite the dust.

2. CNN,
the most trusted (to lie, distort, and shill for the rightwing) name in news. :puke:

3. You should email CNN on your mom's behalf
and let them know why she won't be watching the chimp's stenographers anymore. :hi:

4. Great idea! I'm going to do it!
Here we have a retired 80 year old woman who spends a lot of time in front of the t.v. CNN just lost a long term viewer with its corrupt pro-* politics.

5. I turned my grandparents on to Democracy Now! and the love it
They have been long time CNN watchers and they are finally seeing an alternative.

6. I might try that too.
I'm not sure they'd be willing to go to the trouble of getting satellite though. They are pretty stuck in the mud folks. That's why my mom's statement was so amazing to me. My dad tuned out cable news a long time ago. He reads a lot instead now.

7. Will CNN have any viewers by election night?
Viewership for their RNC and DNC coverage ranked below NBC, CBS, ABC and Fox, and just barely above MSNBC. In addition to shilling for Bush have they adopted his "stay the course" strategy to their ultimate demise?
