EX TV news junkie-I decided to watch CNN today for the first time...
since a week before the invasion of Iraq...When, I could no longer stand the bullshit, nor the coming bullshit of the invasion...(and from what I read... I was correct and made the right decision back then).

So today, knowing full well (for about a week or more) that only Libby was going down, that he would be the sacrificial lamb...and will be pardon by Bush, before he has to say a word...I decided to watch CNN to see if anything has changed on television news in the past 20 month's...

Answer: Not on CNN it hasn't...the same faces...Lying Wolfie running the show and slanting, lots of reporters in the field on monitors looking like they all have so much to tell, and NONE say anything that hasn't already been said or announced, or anything of real importance...right-wing slops, pigs and assholes, were there... Wolfie loves going to them when he needs to support BushCo... as they soak up the air time...

And there was old "Crossfire" dude, Paul Begala, doing his usual excellent tap dancing for the Dems...(but coming up a bit short, never hitting quite hard enough)...

The graphics have gotten better... and the high tech looking, super-duper, spiffy graphics, all with dramatic & scary music, as Wolfie speaks over it...I thought I was watching Fox news 20 month's ago...

Then I noticed, CNN had two guys I always liked on the panel...and found it odd & interesting they both should be there... Lany Davis, and Jeffery Tobin...I guess CNN wanted viewers to be reminded and NOT to forget that Bill Clinton was also indicted...(Hmmm...one for lying about a personal matter... Sex! --- And the other, for exposing (outting) an undercover CIA agent, simply out of vindictiveness, to show, their show of power)...CNN's distinctions were never made that clear though...

And of course the authoritative sounding news bites, shown over and over again...while Wolfie says, like it's breaking news...we just got a response from Libby (which said nothing new of course)...

Then the same bullshit as I remember, the quotes written on the screen to prove, what? For the deaf, or the blind?

Now Bush is making his lying, canned, written speech, more bullshit!!!!

I've seen enough, The TV is off...

Randi will even offers more objectiveness, than the TV bullshit as well.
