CNN is official Shill for GOP Medicare bill
After Bill Hemmer arguing with Ted Kennedy this morning about how great the bill was, now this Jonathan whathisname just finished a piece, and spoke of how it is the Republicans who are actually concerned about the cost of the bill, and the democrats don't like it because they wanted to spend more.

So, I guess the republicans are right, after all...Bill Clinton lying about a blow job has turned everyone in the country into a liar. At least, it seems, every republican.

Barf bag, please.

2. The Busheviks have many official shills nowadays
Bad as it is, CNN cannot unseat Faux as the epicenter of the Ministry of Propaganda...

4. Unfortunately more people think CNN is fair, though.
That perception of CNN being fairer while shilling for Rove is much more dangerous.

3. CNN is deplorable in its shilling for BushInc.
They're neck deep in shaping our Dem primary results, too.

Paula Zahn, Bill Schneider, Wolf Blitzer, Candy Crowley, Judy Woodruff...ugh.....they are such mediawhores.

5. CNN = CIA's National Network
Mike Malloy said that when he was a producer at CNN during the first Gulf War, he was enraged to discover that the CIA basically had a "situations room" set up at CNN, "advising" the editorial board...

I mean, come on...

Do some research on the CIA's long history with the Media. Google "Operation Mockingbird".

Knowing that, it's quite simple to pick out the "assets" placed at CNN to sell the Big Lie.

David Ensor, the "national security correspondent", is so obviously embedded with the CIA that it defies rationality.

Barbara Starr, the Pentagon correspondent, might as well be in Tory Clark's job as a spokesperson for the War Machine. I have yet to hear her ask a critical question of Reichsmarshall Von Rumsfeld. Indeed, she is much beloved by the War Pigs because of her compliant and pliable attitude.

Paula Zahn is far too close to the Bushes for comfort. Senior recently PRAISED her at a function after she broke her leg skiing. She's being groomed to eventually replace the current #1 Bush Family fan Judy Woodcroft.

There's others that make you go "Hmmm" : Ranging from supposedly covert hacks like Jeff Greenfield, Candy Crowley and Bill Schneider to bought and paid for whores like Tucker Carlson and Bob Novak(how does this man, who pisses on the code of journalistic ethics daily, keep his job unless he's protected?)

Always watch CNN with this in mind.
