I Have Noticed a Definite Change in CNN

[WeekendWarrior]

Lately I've noticed that CNN is calling out Republicans more and more. Soledad O'Brien has been doing it and I even saw Wolf Blitzer do it the other day—shock of all shocks.

Since their ratings are in the dumpster, is it possible that a memo has come down from above to start acting like real journalists rather than political lackeys?

Can it be true?

One can only hope.

1. They would need a memo to start doing that....

and a textbook telling them how....

2. Haven't watched lately

but would be glad to see it.

Bring back Miles O'Brien.

3. Romney and Ryan are lying their asses off

they put all the MSM outlets in a bad position by being Etcha Sketch and Mini Etcha Sketch. How do you report their position on issues if they won't tell you what it is and/or stop changing what they claim it is and was?

It is like a firehose of lies coming at them (and us).

4. News Room rubbing off? Maybe that and FOX "News" already owns the road as far as baggers

go. Why try and be FOX and settle for their left over scraps? You can't beat them at their game. Since MSNBC is pegged as far left liberal, even though I would dispute that, they may see a niche for at least attempting to appear to be non-biased news. Good luck convincing teabaggers that. Anything that is not solid right-wing propaganda is just librul lies to them.

5. That's why Republicans call it the Commie News Network.

6. Actually if they went back to their roots, reporting news

And not trying to be a fox wanna be that would be fine, but they will have do a lot more than just a couple of interviews before i start watching again

7. That would be nice.

Give us an update in two months and tell us if they are really becoming a news organization again.

8. President is stepping down

The President of CNN is stepping down soon and will be replaced by someone else.

Perhaps new leadership changes are already under way.

I do notice a few anchors have called out the Republicans lately, however, as mentioned on other threads, CNN's Electoral Map is very generous to the Republicans - more so than other sites.

9. CNN calls out maybe 5 gop lies out of 1000

And sadly that's an improvement for them

10. they are embarrassed, that's all. I really don't think they effin' care as long as they look

REALLY good on camera, with their hair and make-up just so.

These bastids go with the prevailing winds. They see the winds going toward Obama. That's it.

They're afraid of being called out as stupid assholes. Other than that, they don't care...

11. I only have CNN here in Korea

and haven't been turning it on much lately. I'm still pissed when they fucked up the announcement on the healthcare case. It was complete ineptness on their part.
