CNN sucks, I know, what's new......
Edited on Sun Jun-14-09 10:35 AM by boston bean
I go to CNN, nothing on the Iran elections and unrest.

I go to CNN International, nothing on the Iran elections and unrest.

I go to BBC, hardly anything on the Iran elections and unrest.

Maybe CNN needs some news tips! You can email them here and give them a heads up that there is some real news to be reported rrom Iran..

If anyone has any good sources to read about this, please post them below.

7. Christian Amanpour is one of my favs. I just can't imagine why this isn't like full scale 24/7
reporting on this on the cable channels.

We have to twitter to find out the latest???

WTF?

Something is wrong.

15. I did the same thing
before long it will be 2 years, maybe three, hell I forget but anyway if it wasn't for KO and Maddow I'd do the same with m$nbc. No news is better than obfuscations and outright lies

9. Why are you trolling CNN for disinformation and lies?
Do you actually expect some kind of representative/accurate information from them?

12. They don't do reporting.
They manage information according to the interests of their corporate stakeholders.

14. Thanks. I just sent them a you're WORTHLESS email.

I hate the weekends. The lifestyle stories got to GO! We need media reform to make infotainment ILLEGAL.

You're either a news channel or a magazine. But you can't be both. We need a wall of separation between the NEWS and entertainment. And they need to stop spinning for their advertisers. Their coverage on all things monetary SUX!

17. MSRNC's "Lockup" gets good ratings.
Getting Americans primed and good to go for the police state.

16. Try Al Jazeera English
Edited on Sun Jun-14-09 11:01 AM by HarvardMed
No joke, they are probably one of the most neutral when it comes to news about Iran as they try to give both sides an equal chance to present their views.
