New 3rd Place CNN attacks rivals on air this morning
Edited on Sun Mar-29-09 11:07 AM by itsrobert
They brought in Ed Gillespie to attack MSNBC and then the host made a half-hearted attempt to defend MSNBC. Then the host countered with the bias of Fox News. CNN is saying that MSNBC = Fox News. And CNN is above it all.

2. Oh, yeah. Just keep trotting those * sycophants out there and claiming
that they are fresh faces with fresh perspectives. I stopped watching CNN about 4-5 years ago when it became the neocon network Blitzer especially irks me and he was on all the time.

4. Because Jon Stewart got good ratings.
I can't believe the crap they're pulling to appear legitimate, when they could just do research and fact-checking instead of PR stunts.

6. "then" not "than"
normally I give typos a pass, but since you used it three times, it's not a typo, and it annoyingly interferes with readability of your post.

8. CNN's audience will soon consist largely of AOL users
Seems like the two, errr- companies have similar business models.

11. Isn't Ed Gillespie the Republican Lobbyist for Enron ?
Boy CNN just keeps sinking lower,, did Murdoc buy CNN ?

It made me want to puke to see him infront of the White house.

12. Ed Gillespie makes me change a channel faster than just about anyone.
CNN is so clueless.
