Poll question: Who's pissed at CNN?
OK, I'm pissed. I'm writing CNN, and I want to holler at anyone who comes near me.

Censorship in this country is killing us.

I got up this morning, and as usual, I turned on the news stations to get my wake-up liberal rage going.

But today, CNN was in rare form...

In the 20 minutes I watched it from about 6:40 to 7:00 (Central) There was noting but DNC coverage. In that time there was not one bit of the Dems message or platform. Although they showed Gore, Carter, and Clinton in that time. All they showed was jokes, totally out of context. And Kerry in the Shuttle bunny suit - 3 FREAKING TIMES

So who's as pissed as I am?

And who thinks it's OK and I should calm down?

1. CNN......Fox News 2
I suppose next they will be using the monicker "Fair and Balanced". They are making a mockery of the convention IMHO.

Who wants to bet they will be glorifying the Repugs convention/exploitation of 9/11/01?

2. If only one station would have the courage to present
substantive, factual news of either side of the political spectrum, the rest would probably go down in their ratings and would have to follow suit.

Unfortunately, none of the t.v. stations seems to have the courage or the will to present substantive, hard fact news.

:hippie:

3. I'm not pissed at them
I've been a newsjunkie for 4 plus years now. Anyone expecting balanced converage from CNNMSNBCFAUX just hasn't been paying attention. Getting upset now is like getting upset with the band for playing as the Titanic went down--it's way too late.

Watch CSPAN on mute and listen to Air America. Turn over to CSPAN when someone comes on that you want to listen to.

5. On I don't expect fair coverage
But I do expect that they will at least show what the party's platform is.

I watched as much as I could on CSPAN last night, I missed the first two hours because of the commute home.

4. And to think...
CNN is the "good guy" when compared to the other two cable news channels!
