Okay new CNN post that I will email them -What do you hate most about CNN
Is it Lou Dobbs scapegoating the Mexicans when corporations are shipping jobs over seas. Wolfe Blitzer telling Jon Stewart "Everyone makes mistakes" in regards to the Iraq war as if it was an oversight.
Jody Woodruff and Wolfe Blitzer almost crying over Al Sharpton's criticisms of Bush at the Democratic convention. The way they sold the war to the American public. The way they tainted an american hero for the whole month of August by giving the Swiftboat swine a sort of candidacy of their own.The way Wolfe Blitzer keeps telling everyone we are helping the people of Iraq.
List your reasons why you hate CNN

1. Too much non-news
Scott Peterson trial, celebrity gossip, bad things happening to rich white women, what idiot "analysts" think, and personal advice segments all take time away from reporting real news.

and her objectivity. Oh wait, she doesn't even pretend to be objective. Oh, and Paula Zahn. If she wants to pretend to be objective she has to give attitude to both Republicans and Democrats, not just Democrats.

3. Its Judy Woodruff all the way..
I abhor her.

It started when Dean was running in the primaries. CNN was the last in cable news i could even stand.
She was so fucking rude to him. I cant really put into words how she was so cynical and bitchy too him, but this was the moment that i realized that CNN was no longer the "Clinton News Network," but another Bush supporter in slightly more bipartisan clothes.

Its also the fact that they aired false shit about us going into Fallujah to see if they watch CNN over there, and how they were going to react. If this doesnt show exactly how in the pocket they truly are. And how fucked our media is.

I actually will stop on Lou Dobbs though. For the most part,I agree with a ton of shit he says.

12. And
The way they made Dean putting a good spin on a tough night as if he had the biggest political disaster in US history. While the Dixiecrat Zel Miller who was a real maniac on MSNBC was right up there with Bush the next day with no press on his insane antics.

4. We should do our own CNN poll
Is CNN in the back pocket of the Bush administration? Or
Does CNN hate America?

Send the results to them....maybe they'll report that as news.

5. I remember watching CNN during the first Iraq war....
I must have sat in front of the TV for 36 hrs straight. I was so distraught. As if watching that shit was going to help me do something about it. They made the war look like some kind of Super Bowl. The graphics were disgusting. I couldn't stop watching it. It made me sick and I couldn't stop watching it. I honestly don't remember seeing anything that represented what the bombing was doing to the people. I'll always hate them for that.

10. What's to like?
Tabloid television, over dramatization of everything, lots of non-news, too many opinions not enough facts, no real attempts at investigative journalism, passing along pentagon, white house and coroporate press releases as unchallenged fact.....

11. What do I hate most about CNN?
...That's Easy...

Bush Cabana Boy, Bill Hummer (oops) I mean Hemmer.

After that little stunt of his trying to pass off a Republican Activist as some sort of "Undecided", then not even sprouting the stones enough to apologize PUBLICLY once his little ruse was found out, showed him for the Bush Brown Noser he is...

I won't even get into Leslie Blitzer, or Judy Woodwhore...

They are nothing but FAUX Lite now...

13. FAUX Lite - how ironic...
because my ultra-con dad (who completely supports junior and dickhead) quit watching CNN 2 years ago because "They've become entirely too liberal!" He now prefers to watch full FAUX!

16. Well like New Yawker I welcome you as well
And one of the less sinister schools of thought is that CNN needs to keep up with the ratings that Fox gets for being the Republican Racist Network. Hate sells and the red states are buying.
