2. I was one of them...
called CNN and reamed them a new one. Told them they're making themselves irrelevant by going on & on about stupid non-news stories like runaway brides... Sheesh.

10. Apparently they're that incompetent.
Bet they can't walk and chew gum at the same time either.

5. Aaron Brown has the emotional development of a nerd 16 year old.
When he was covering the initial invasion of Iraq, looking at the troops he said something like, 'Boy you wouldn't want to mess with those guys.' This is how he thinks. He is not ready for prime time. Unfortunately, by fortune of DNA and his make up crew, he puts on the look of someone thoughtful. He isn't. This is just one more example of his petulance.

He thinks he's above criticism.

I'm impressed with Brian Williams racting to NOLA by a) reporting the truth and b) changing his tone based on the evidence. Maybe Brown should have gone himself.

8. Shephard Smith --- I think that's the Fox guy.
The shit that he saw in NOLA didn't match up with the pronouncements of Bushco.

9. Is it just me, or does anyone else think he looks like a little kid
when he reads the newspaper headlines? Comes across as a total dork doing that.

13. I'm not fan of Aaron, however consider the information in that statement..
Edited on Sun Sep-25-05 03:54 AM by ReadTomPaine
Despite the snark, if the statement above is accurately worded it admits that hundreds of thousands of people are involved in the protest, that they are angry with Bush & MSM and that the topic for the news has been pre-selected. A loaded answer, perhaps?
