Remember when CNN was a fairly good network? |

i do. maybe i'm deluded, but it seemed like it anyway, way back at the beginning of bushwar one. ted turner owned it i think, and he's a radical leftist of sorts. i only watch it now the same way the french resistance watched nazi propaganda, to hear exactly the opposite of what they say. it's totally owned, part and parcel by 'them'.
right before bushwar two broke out, cnn canned a bunch of folks and veered hard right to compete with fox, and msnbc. cnn totally lost all credibility, and i believe only the nazi element has stayed on.
almost all the original faces are gone, and they dropped about half the old anchorpeople. it's amazing and startling how fast they were assimilated by the republiborg.

1. yes, before it was sold to Time Warner |

Serious news. No Larry King, no scrolling crap, no BS graphics, anchor people that were journalists (as opposed to the pretty faces they have now), no "happy talk" morning show.
