1. Is CNN trying to out-Faux Faux?
It seems so f'ing blatant lately.

2. So biased they reek to high heaven
So biased they resemble an updated slick version of Soviet Pravda.

However, that is a reek still less stechful than Faux Pravda and the rest of the Party Loyal-Buxshevik Sub-Media.

3. unless you want high blood pressure
there is NO reason to watch cable "news"

it is at least 95% propaganda/distraction

watch Lou Dobbs for a tiny bit of truth and reporting

5. So much for the 'free press'...
- Americans have been dumbed-down so much that they actually accept partisan comments like this as part of the 'news'.

6. You know....
Edited on Mon Feb-09-04 01:27 PM by dennis4868
the repubs says that CNN stands for Clinton News Network but during Monica Gate they were relentless with their coverage and knocking Clinton 24/7 non stop. Even during the whole Whitewater fiasco they were relentless and could not wait for the final report from Ken Starr and the boys. What I have seen in the last 2 years is their star news guy Wolf Blitzer has become a true media whore and will defend Bush to his death....it is distgusting.

The way I look at it and I believe Al Gore as well is that the lie about the WMD threat from Iraq is not about politics anymore. It is about over 500 of our loved ones dieing for a lie and Bush/Cheney agenda. I could not care if Bush was a dem or a repub. What Bush has done is beyond politcs at this point. It is a crime and many have died for it.

7. I think I heard her say
something like "sounds like he's going a little crazy like another Democrat..."
I don't know if those were her exact words, but I heard "crazy" in her little aside.

God, forbid the Democrats get fired up - the media whores will be right there to label them crazy, off balance, out of control, etc.!! And rather than discuss the message being said, they'll dissect in their whore-round-table discussions how nutso a certain Democrat is for being angry with the Commander-in-Chief, which will then lead into a discussion about whether that's appropriate during a time of war...

Whores!!!

12. They seem increasingly biased.
I do not know this site very well, but I think it proves that CNN is really wanting to be like Faux.

<snip>
CNN doesn't plan any dramatic shifts to compete with upstart Fox News, which has become the source for breaking stories for an increasingly large percentage of the audience. That doesn't mean, though, that the network's bigwigs aren't aware of the rivalry.

"I was wondering how long it would take for someone to use the 'F' word," laughs CNN Executive Vice President and General Manager Princell Hair at the first mention of Fox News. "Look, you know, there are things we can do to get ratings, but we're not going to do it at the expense of our brand."

They seem more and more like faux news every day!
