1. I'm not surprised, but I am outraged...

I've been in bed most of the day, with the flu, so I've been watching CNN and other MS news.

Hardly a mention of any protests.

The only thing I've seen was CNN saying that 45,000 demonstrators showed up in Great Britain.

They showed 4 seconds of footage from the protest, then the commentator said, "And now, a very different perspective on the war from a doctor who found hope in Iraq."

Then, CNN launched into a 15-minute story on a psychologist in Iraq who helped soldiers with trauma, shock and PTSD. She discussed the bravery of our soldiers and the sacrifices they made. This feel-good stuff was presented as the opposite viewpoint of the protesters--as if the protesters don't honor the soldiers or believe they are brave.

The piece also showed many positive aspects of the war, as told in the psychologists' own words. She talked about beautiful sunsets, fresh fruit during meals and the gorgeous surroundings in Iraq.

I didn't know war could be so picturesque, beautiful and scenic. Thank God for CNN. /sarcasm off

5. Sorry you have the

flu. MSM sucks so much well, you guys know that.
It just makes me so mad, all I do anymore is fight the system.
But that is okay because there are so many people with me.
Like DU.

[CoffeeCat]

21. So true...at least we have DU...

...and thanks for commiserating with me about the flu.

I'm much better now.

Hang in there and keep fighting the good fight!

:)

[Jack Rabbit]

No 58% 39312 votes

Total: 68176 votes

[spooky3]

12. We learned from Vietnam that it was a GREAT idea not to protest

as of about 1965, right? That's why the war was such a raging success, and protests don't work.

/sarcasm off

[ChiciB1]

30. And I Remember Those Times!!!

There was sooooooo much more activism, intelligence and compassion back then. We really felt we made a difference. Now, everyone is drinking the kool-aid and we can only hope some of them are going to choke on it.

We are heading down unchartered waters now, and the steam ship is WAAAAAY off course!!

I will PROTEST this stuff til they come take me away. And then, I'll scream to the top of my lungs at all this IN-JUST-ICE!!!!

[New Earth]

14. what in the HELL kind of question is that?

:scared:

[hiley]

19. I know

CNN is as bad as FAUX !

[OneTwentyoNine]

15. Time to end Iraq War protest?!?!? Heil Hitler....Heil Hitler.....

WTF kind of question is that?? Yeah CNN,all protesters should be taken around back and shot for MERELY questioning our dictators War.

My God.....

[high density]

16. Uhh... Excuse me?

This is a free country, right?

[Don1]

17. Done. Still 42% Yes, 58% No. America has Spoken!

The new mandate is to begin protesting.

What a weirdly worded question, too. How's this for a better one:
"Is it not time to not stop thinking about ending the protests over protesting the Iraqi war?"

[Robeson]

18. Kick.

[hiley]

20. CNN thought they could trick

Now it is Yes 42% 29103

NO 58% 39870


Hey, I found a really cool web-site !
When looking at INN World Report they had some great links .
News, media reform,etc.
Put a link on my blog.

http://www.rinf.com/

[Carolab]

22. Yes, it was worded that way as a trick for sure.

I had to read it twice before deciding on "No".

Even so, what kind of question IS that? Like there is a time limit on protesting? We protest UNTIL IT ENDS, idiots.

[hiley]

24. UNTIL IT ENDS

is our anthem. Thank you !

29. Okay... I'm Really Ashamed....

and I've been checking for weeks and weeks to see if someone would ask this question but nothing yet. Actually 2 things. What's MSM and n/t??

There I did it. I know most of the short-cuts, but I only joined D.U. in Nov., and I guess I missed it. I know it's something that's mentioned ALL the time and I feel sooooo stupid. I'm sure MSM has something to do with the media, but I've just been calling them Media whores or mentioning them by name.

Oh BTW, (I know that one) and WTF, right now a SPECIAL meeting in the House regarding Schiavo!!! I life in Florida and this has been such a big thing. Yeah, keep big brother out of our lives!!

WHAT is happening to MY COUNTRY????

I'm getting so so mad and so so frustrated, I wonder what I will do!!!

[Cha]

31. msm=mainstream media &

n/t=no text! No worries..I was newbie once too.

Welcome to DU! You have a real battle down there in Florida.

[Jack Rabbit]

32. Knowledge to wipe away ignorance

MSM -- Mainstream Media.
n/t -- Nothing transmitted (no message in the post).

[hiley]

33. It is okay

that you didn't know what MSM meant and n/t ! I just found out a few months ago and what is important is that you asked and want to know more, right ?
Want to know more go here to Dempedia at top of screen and here:

You have to make another pw for Demopedia.
This is what is happening to our Country !

36. Thanks To All Of You!!

and you especially for all the links. I'm not exactly new, just didn't want to ask.

But I do recall that special teacher telling me once, "if you don't know something, ask"! Now, I feel better.

Schiavo on CNN RIGHT NOW!! What a MESS!!

[hiley]

35. Bait and switch

I think this is all about keeping people dumbed down and thinking of only one or two issues. Like Michael Jackson and Terri Schiavo.......

right now a SPECIAL meeting in the House regarding Schiavo!!! I life in Florida and this has been such a big thing.

I agree, the question is worded in such a way as to imply 'get over it'.

Fucking corporate whores.

[hiley]

37. hey thanks

wasn't thinking, doing to many other battles.
You however I made it so easy so thank you.



:yourock:

38. How is this one ?

QUICKVOTE
Two years on, is it time to end protests against the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq?
Yes
No
This is absolutely the most twisted question CNN has ever asked. Why does it not say are you for the damn war or not. Keep writing them worded tricky and help the US government fight more needless wars, why don't you ?
We want the NEWS not commentary, not Terri Schiavo, Michael Jackson all of the news and real investigation. Stop feeding us mind numbing bait and switch. We don't need our News Services to do State Propaganda for the Bush Administration. I have been asking CNN for a very long time now why do you want to be FOX jr. ? I never get a response, from anyone with CNN and you would think that occasionally there would be an actual answer sometime sooner or later.

41. Oh, they Know Me Pretty Well...

They just NEVER post any of my rants!!!

I have them on my email list, along with Tweety and a few other choice links. I'm so open here, I sometimes think my door is going to fly open someday and they are going to take me away!

I should tone it down, but can't seem to stop. THEY will have to stop me I guess, and I don't doubt the capability.

Thanks!

[ChiciB1]

39. I Just NOW Voted on CNN Poll

88% said No to the question. Only 12% agreed that it was a good idea??

Why so many MIXED messages???? Earlier, ALL the news reporting was how beautifully this thing was going.

We HAVE to tap into these voters, maybe despite all the "pumping up" by the RW, there really is a larger under-current of despair and people wanting to tell the TRUTH. Let's keep hitting HARD!!!!

I'm wearing a "small" smile right now.

[hiley]

40. Look

Look
http://edition.cnn.com/2005/WORLD/europe/03/19/europe.i... /

in the original post for the poll I am talking about, if you want to. Our No's are winning in it too.
yes 41% 30722
no 59% 43695
We are talking about 2 different polls


The one your showing results for is this one below:

I voted on it for you Congress should butt out.
just a little mix up that's all



http://rantsbyhiley.blogspot.com/

[ChiciB1]

42. Oh, Thanks...

You've Got to admit, there's a little bit of a disconnect from what they're spewing anyway!

I'm keeping my little smile going for a while, heavens knows they're hard to come by.

[Wilms]

44. kick n/t
