Reply #7: I'd Love To Think This Is Real... [View All]

[KharmaTrain]

Klein is CNN President...the one who defended Doobies last week, but seems to be hot and bothered by all the criticisms of Doobies rather than how off the deep end that show has gone.

I used to watch Chicken Noodle Nuze 24/7 for over 20 years. While there were opinion shows like Crossfire, the news coverage was straight up...little, if any, commentary. But the days of Bernie Shaw, Judy Woodruff and real reporters/journalists at that network ended the day Time/Warner walked in. Since then it's chepened and then sensationalized their coverage. Today it's totally unwatchable. Doobies is a major reason. He long ago crossed the line of being news into opinion and vanity. He wasn't out to report...but to "prove". His xenophobia, racism and paranoia now pour from the teevee...and they wonder why his ratings have tanked?

CNN is a victim of the world it helped create. By trying to mix "enterainment" in with the news and to fill time with opinion rather than facts and information, this network has pissed off viewers from both sides of the political spectrum. There's zero Progressive voices on that channel and the Democrats who do appear are tired appologists who are easily steamrolled. Talking Points trump truth..."keeping them honest" only applies to Democrats.

I would imagine CNN's real policy is to ignore the whole situation and hope some other "outrage" comes up (preferably on another network). They pay Doobies too much...and management is loath to fire a big salary.
