I know most of the DU'ers want to boycott CNN, but...
I think Lou Dobbs is doing a great service for the democratic party.
He just "slammed" the re-bathification effort of Bushco and said that the administration is making terrible mistakes in Iraq...

1. I Know
But it's just not enough. Love Lou, but his show is only on once a day.

2. We should boycott just the programs that shill for the repugs and
watch just the few that have some substance.

3. Not impressed. Dobbs lies with the best of them and a shred of truth
is no longer enough. Sorry.
I for one have had it with Carville & Begala a long time ago as well. They are mere inches of Alan Colmes by now.

4. I respect Dobbs....
Been watching him for 1.5 years. Goes to show that difference between a true conservative (him) and liberal (me) isn't much.

8. Dobbs lied that CNN fired Clark "for being partisan" - when in fact
he resigned before starting his campaign. That was the last lie I was going to take from him ("How low can Lou go" said MWO)
I know there are people here who respect Dobbs, Buchanan, Powell, McCain and any republican who intrerrupts the stream of lies to come up for air.

Not me. I refuse to use BFEE as standard. The standard of MY respect is much higher, way above all thise guys' heads.

5. yeh, lou dobbs is doing a great job.
aaron brown's not bad either, and he just got a new executive producer who's a liberal. also, though most of you are probably asleep early in the morning, cnn daybreak has got a liberal slant, with a liberal anchor and executive producer. american morning isn't bad either, soledad o'brien is great. carlos watson, cnn's newest political analyst, i'm pretty darned sure, is on our side, too.

anderson cooper's gay, so i'd think he is pretty liberal, though i haven't watched him enough to say.

unfortunately, the bad ones (wolf blitzer, candy crowley, paula zombie, and judy woodruff) seem to overshadow all the others.

11. We obviously have different standards. Cooper moderated the only
real Dem debate - without an ounce of condescension - so him I like - private life being irrelevant here. (P.S. have you heard of one Andrew Sullivan?

12. perhaps you should re-read
and if YOU'RE insinuating that I'M insinuating that just because you're gay, you must be liberal, you should re-re-read.

oh, and yeh, i know andrew sullivan. i also know matt drudge. and i know senator lindsey graham. oh yeh, i know congressman mark foley, too.

i could go on, but you get the point don't you.

6. No! Not most of DU'ers only a "few" so far. And, it's not about Dobbs it'
it's the other whores like Blitzer/Woodruff and their daily coverage, plus that awful morning show for Morons. Soledad/Hemmer/Cafferty.

Please help us and e-mail and complain about the shows that aren't Dobbs. Or write and Praise Dobbs and TRASH the OTHER shows.

Whatever! Just DO SOMETHING! HELP US, PLEASE!!!

10. I have sent e-mails
to CNN objecting to their biased coverage, but I always have trouble finding a good address to send it to. What address do you use?

7. We need to support CBS
CBS seems to be the only network carrying the Democrat water bucket. Between Dan Rather and 60 minutes we have a winner with Kerry.

15. Excuse me. Because CBS tries to tell the truth, you say they are biased?
You believe CBS is a liberal media station?

13. You know it is bad when a conservative such as Dobbs is left of
everyone else on CNN.

Dobbs is a conservative, but in this world he appears to be liberal.

14. I watch CNN now & then, but for believable news I stick to CBC/CTV &BBC
.
.
.

And I'll believe alJazeerah LONG before I'll believe any American Media.

The USA media and White-House has the American citizens by the b*lls.

America the great in just a few years under GeeDubya has become America the hated.

Even worse,

The USA has become the "untrusted"

No one believes what they hear from the USA anymore

except just enough Americans to keep this war "alive"

(sigh)
