Is it me, or does RW bias on CNN vary with the hosts? |
|
American Morning: Hemmer and O'Brien are tolerable. Cafferty makes my head hurt.
Politics with Judy Woodruff: Oh. My. Bushco ho' extraordinaire.
Wolf Blitzer: see Woodruff, Judy.
Aaron Brown: Very solid, even-handed anchor. At times, he seems even Koppel-esque.
What's the reason for this? Is the daytime audience more RW, so CNN actively tries to draw audience share from Fox?

2. No, like a microscosm of the Empire itself, CNN is midway between |

Freedom and Slavery, Journalism and Bushevik Whoring Propaganda.
In such institutions, as in the Empire itslef, one can actually still be surprised at some ethics of the Old Republic shining through.

4. Must admit, I've started watching Lou Dobbs sometimes |
|
aka Comrade Dobbs. And I just heard some buzz about McEnroe taking on the empire. But here's the problem I have: since corporate television is responsible for electing the pretzel and sending us to war, among other things, how can we ever trust them again? I mean, maybe they just decide it would be good for their image to pretend to be slightly liberal to appease us. But when they need a war or an election...

5. I try to watch Dobbs every night myself |

I enjoy his show and the fact that he can be tough on his guests without being a jerk.

6. Personally, I love Aaron Brown. |
|
Keith Olbermann (I know, I know, he's not CNN) is good, too, but for different reasons.
