CNN CUTS OUT DURING SINCLAIR SEGMENT WITH BROCK

[progdonkey]

Edit: My CNN went out too at around 1:38p. I'm in Virginia on Adelphia (I think; sister's house). ONLY CNN CUT OUT! What the hell is going on?

[cheshire]

1. Thanks,

[cheshire]

17. Swear to God my cnn channel just went dead in the middle of that.

[cheshire]

65. This isn't the first time this has happened.

[cheshire]

79. I just sent a positive(not) email. Everyone should write.

[desi]

83. Their reply will include the following:

Thanks again for your interest and keep your browser pointed to http://www.cnn.com/.

Sincerely,

CNN Public Information
"CNN, The Most Trusted Name In News" Sure they are...

[desi]

80. Welcome to the Bushevik Gulag

Is there any question that they do in fact control the "Liberal Media?"

[skylarmae]

25. CNN just went off the air Comcast -SLC Utah -all other stations OK

at 11:38 MT

[AngryOldDem]

33. It's out in Dayton, OH, too

Another "technical difficulty"?

[juliagoolia]

32. my CNN went out

During David Brocks call to action I use Dish Network

[newyawker99]

98. Hi juliagoolia!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[eddiebrowns]

2. if you're watching it, let us know what they're saying

[Vincardog]

10. Sinclare wants to air Propaganda and call it news. To avoid equal time la

w They claim it is only trying to level the field. Because the Swift boat liars for truth have not been heard. They claim the news shows have neen anti bush

[Ksec]

92. fascism defined

[LittleClarkie]

100. Oh we've heard them alright. We just don't believe

Why is it these people think that if you're not agreeing, you're not hearing.

Like O'Neill talking to Matthews for 20 minutes and then saying that he'd not been given a chance to talk.

The ones who've not been heard are the band of brothers. I haven't seen hide nor hair of them to the extent I've seen the Smear vets. If you support Kerry you're not credible apparently.

[KharmaTrain]

3. David Brock!!!

He's pointing out the legality of the matter.

Myles Mindbender spins the GOOP point like "so, what's the big deal"...trying to broker a deal here...whatif they run F911 after the slimeboat. Brock's not going there!

Also a wingnut trying to compare this to censorship...mixing cable with over-the-air and trying make Sinclair a martyr. "They went after Rush and now Sinclair". Crimeafuckin River!!!

[medeak]

4. thanks for heads up

pointing out their agenda and untruths reported

(for cube rats)

wow...updated...just as dem is expressing outrage "technical difficulties" and program off air

[displacedtexan]

5. David Brock is great!

Sinclair guy is trying to say that the swiftboat liars haven't gotten fair media coverage, and this ant-Kerry film is "news."

[Democrat 4 Ever]

The feed just went off my satellite - tell me that was

just a coincidence! Just CNN - the rest of the channels are fine. Hm-m-m-m-m-m.... LOL

[tridim]

6. CNN signal just went dead

am I the only one?

edit: Looks like I'm not alone. Holy crap, this is serious shit.

[951]

9. Nope

[Shadow30]

[Kahuna]

39. Me too. I have stinky Cablevision in NJ.

On the other hand. You can't really say, it's a bad thing. :evilgrin:

[ParanoidPat]

99. More than you might imagine!

CONCEPT PAPER


Working Group on Preventive and Preemptive Military Intervention


William W. Keller and Gordon R. Mitchell1
Project Coordinators

<Snip>

U.S. Senator Jay Rockefeller (D-WV), the ranking Democrat on the Senate
Intelligence Committee, called for an FBI investigation into the forgery of documents cited by President Bush and Secretary Powell as proof of Iraq’s nuclear transactions with Niger. As Rockefeller explained in a letter to FBI Director Robert Mueller: “There is a
possibility that the fabrication of these documents may be part of a larger deception campaign aimed at manipulating public opinion and foreign policy regarding Iraq.”26

The timeliness of Rockefeller’s proposed inquiry was underscored by the
appearance of official documents that lay out official American deception plans: "In a document last autumn, the joint chiefs of staff stressed the need for strategic deception and influence operations as tools of war. The army, navy and air force have been directed to devise plans for information warfare."27 According to defense analyst William Arkin, the Bush strategy lays out goals for information warfare that pursue D5E: "destruction, degradation, denial, disruption, deceit, and exploitation." Arkin notes that the wide array of sites and ractices of information control brought into the range of this policy "blurs or even erases the boundaries between factual information and news, on the one hand, and public relations, propaganda and psychological warfare on the other."28

This fusion of military deception programs with media propaganda efforts enabled the Office of Strategic Influence to commission officers from the U.S. Army's Psychological Operations Command to work as interns in the news division of CNN.29

It's like the signal is being blocked...

[AngryOldDem]

46. Can they be any more frickin' obvious?????

Why can't they just be honest and say they are going to pull the plug and drop the pretense???

[chimpymustgo]

55. CNN - down in the Nation's Capital.

Spooky. This, along with the earlier Kerry audio problem.

Back on now - promoting Mary Kay le tourneau with Larry King.

[Democrat 4 Ever]

CNN is bac-c-c-c-c-k!

Too bad we missed the interview. I am sure the Sinclair had many wonderful points to be made. Brock was eating his lunch and then, poof, gone. Will we ever see what was said. Bet not.

[blueblitzkrieg]

37. No CNN here either.

Only channel on my set that isn't working. :wtf:

[Texas_Dem]

[Sparkle]

64. Is that pic photoshopped? Ewwww!

[951]

74. Uhh... No

:shiftyeyes:

[Shadow30]

52. it just came back on

[George W. Dunce]

59. Same here well that was convenient

God now they are going to kill me with this moronic burrito poll, I bet this one makes it all the way to the end. Hey and if your talking about Kerry how cn you pass up saying flip flop, yea that was so funny...burrito, flip flop ...I get it!

[Shadow30]

62. and the sinclair piece is done...

...hmmmmmmmmmmm.

[tridim]

54. It's back..

just in time for advertising after the story is over.

Gawd, I'm fuming.. That was so freaking obvious. This is not America any longer.

[librechik]

56. oh, phew! CNN is Back! Thank goodness we didn't have to hear

that awful David Brock!

:puke: !!!

[AnIndependentTexan]

57. Mine came back and guess what they aren't talking about Sinclair

[chimpymustgo]

69. The anchors didn't mention the little "black-out".

What the heck in going on?

[Geek_Girl]

61. The Station went out

when David Brock said American People needed to rise up against the ...

Wow I feel like I'm in some kind of si-fi movie. Am I living in the Matrix.

[highplainsdem]

63. Lost CNN here, too, and only that channel

We have Time Warner cable

[IndianaGreen]

73. Faux lost the audio to Kerry's appearance in New Mexico

all of these technical difficulties seem to be curiously coincidental.

[highplainsdem]

87. FOX had a similar technical problem

during another of Kerry's campaign appearances recently...and I vaguely recall one of the other news channels having a similar problem covering another Kerry speech (think it was CNN, but not sure since I channelsurf so much). I noticed that both times the channels had no trouble covering Bush's campaign.

[IndianaGreen]

90. Right, Bush's audio never fails while Kerry's

always seems to have technical difficulties.

[Uben]

66. Time for e-mail campaign!

Write em, let em know!

[cal04]

77. Just did that. Who else can we write to?

The FCC?

[footinmouth]

67. Signal gone for me too

Buffalo, NY, Adelphia cable. It's back up now.

[Robert Oak]

70. so Orwellian, news blocked out, not a word when CNN comes back

[AntiFascist]

71. The sound has been cutting out periodically also....

ever since about 1pm EDT.

[951]

75. I've had no problems with the sound here

[medeak]

72. emailed 2 Sinclair stations

and received failure notices saying didn't like my server address.

This is creeping me out

[truthseeker1]

76. "Burrito Poll"

Turned on CNN after reading this thread and got several minutes of nothing - it was out here too (DirecTV in LA) - then a Cartoon Network commercial (??) and then we were treated to some real news.....a "Burrito Poll!"

[951]

78. I'd like the number for CNN!

Does anyone have the phone number for CNN i'd like to have a talk with these bastards I see they still havent mentioned why they went out around the country and half of the world

[951]

82. kick

I'm still looking for their SEC filings for direct lines to execs. Need to run an errand first though.

[funkybutt]

81. WE CANNOT TOLERATE THIS!

how many times during this election cycle has CNN "mysteriously" experienced "technical difficulties" or simply cut feed while presenting OUR SIDE of the story. That makes me so MAD! How could they possibly think that we're that stupid!?

[Shadow30]

84. agreed the thing is....

...how can anyone call them on it,they can just make up some BS story about technical problems.

[DesEtoiles]

85. Call CNN 404-827-2600

[Maine-ah]

86. trapped at work

trapped at work, all I can get right now is BS on cnn.com

[Ksec]

91. wow. just plain Wow.

[oasis]

93. CNN didn't want to report the weeks old story in the first place. Why

wasn't this story reported before today?

[AntiFascist]

94. Did anyone else see them reair Brock's statement?

The calls must have worked!

[951]

95. I didnt

But I turned the channel ARGH!!!!!!

[Ducks In A Row]

96. Why watch CNN at all? It's bullshit.

[w4rma]

101. CNN Blackout - creepy or just coincidence?

[0rganism]

102. Which program is this? I'd like to see a re-run, if possible
