WTF is on CNN right now? "Finding Jesus" but it should be "Dishing out Xian BS."

[Red Raider 85]

Just tuned in but CNN is treating the Gospels as complete fact. What crap!

1. Does your remote control function properly?

7. AHHHH, that's what is for.................................

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

2. Then turn it off. Some people might find it interesting, this being Christmas and all.

It's not crap to everyone.

[Stand and Fight]

3. Pretty transparent username...

[DRoseDARs]

10. ...that he's an '85 alum of Texas Tech?

4. If you don't like what's on CNN right now...

...why don't you just change the channel? Nobody's forcing you to watch it...

5. +1

I fail to understand why anyone watches something on TV and finds it necessary to complain about it on an internet discussion board. By the time one types up a post, the TV channel could have been changed several times.

6. fuck putin!

8. Fucking shit pisses me off so fucking bad

that I took my 55 inch flat screen TV and laid it on its back and encouraged my dog to poop on it. And I don't clean up the poop either. I don't care, I'm going to continue to let my dog poop on it even if he has to climb piles of poop in order to do it. I'm done with this fucking bullshit. They put that fucking bullshit on TV, then I'm going to have my dog poop on it.

I'll post a picture of it soon.

9. I pulled my fucking eyeballs out of my fucking skull!

That’ll show them just who they are messing with.

[LuckyCharms]

11. I fucking did that once too.

I pulled the fuckers out of my skull, and THREW them at my TV in a fucking fit of rage. That's how fucking mad I was. Then I went and got a fucking fork and stabbed them I was so pissed off.

[jberryhill]

12. ...and let the dog eat the eyeballs and shit them back out onto the TV!

...and then I lit my living room on fire!

[LuckyCharms]

13. That's sick.

[DRoseDARs]

14. I'm sure the programming isn't as dubious as you're implying, but yeah CNN probably has no business

...airing it. I really do miss when news channels were just straight news and not infotainment or barely masked propaganda.

Folks, let this guy gripe about CNN and get over it.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

15. Why can't they? They aren't the government; they're a private company.

They do a lot of shows that aren't news, but are entertainment or documentaries. If people don't like the shows they won't watch them, but evidently that's not a problem. It's the free market, after all.

[DRoseDARs]

16. Are they a religious channel or secular channel? As a purveyor of news, this dances the line. nt

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

17. I watched a bit of the show; it looked to me more like

a discussion of what the various scriptures reported, not religious proselytization. I thought it was kind of interesting even though I'm not religious. And a private media company can decide for itself what it wants to broadcast. Nobody can, or should, tell CNN that it must produce only news shows. It can show what it wants and if people don't like it they won't watch.

[DRoseDARs]

18. I'm going to take your word for it on how it's being presented. You have to allow that non-Christian

...viewers might be a bit put-off regardless. I've zero interest in arguing.

Edit: That's the friendly wave, not the fuck right off a cliff wave.

[flotsam]

19. Actually it IS BS

Not the "Christian" thing but both CNN and MSNBC are supposed to be 24 hour news stations and when you're a billion dollar business you can afford part time help on the weekends and holidays to read the news ticker, even if your audience is small. I stream news pretty much 24/7. All I can tell you is that BBC and Al Jazeera are doing news programming...

For those who want religious TV there are several dedicated channels and they felt no need to switch off and offer breaking news for Christmas-though that would be no more ridiculous...

[akraven]

20. Christian News Network?

I occasionally thank the goddesses that we don't have cable, just rabbit ears, and an excellent stereo/DVD system! We haven't had CNN in nearly 20 years.
