Don't watch CNN....MJ twent-four-seven......
Anderson Cooper did a 'bit' about America's hunger for this story and how people will be wearing out their remotes looking for MJ endlessly...I see it more like the fucking media cramming this shit down our throats 24/7.

2. Telling me not to watch CNN is like telling me to use my
seatbelt or not run with scissors.

4. Some don't wear seatbelts & run with scissors.

3. I stopped watching it during the 2000 election debacle
I happened to see the "Runaway Bride" coverage before it was revealed that she staged the whole thing. Just confirmed my decision to turn that crap off.

5. Just heard on the local news that Al Jazeera interrupted
their regular programming to announce the verdict had been reached on the MJ trial. The key phrase here was that they "interrupted their regular programming" to announce the verdict, not that they were playing MJ 24/7 for months before the verdict. I think CNN needs to learn from Al Jazeera.

6. What is this "CNN" you speak of?
Is it a television channel or something?

7. The MSM is just giving the masses what they want
Face it, the majority of Americans could care less about politics unless it's a scandal.
They're just in it for the sensationalism.

8. I had to laugh when
some posters on this board suggested that they were glad the trial is over, and implied that the coverage would be too. Don't y'all know the fun's just beginning?:( Better get used to it, or better yet, start your boycott now. I haven't watched CNN since November.

10. A DUer without CNN (or any of the MSM for that matter)
is like a fish without a bicycle.
