Why Do I Watch CNN?

[Dinger]

I sure as hell don't know. Cafferty was just on, after the NOvak zone-out (yes, that uglay basturd is back) and there was a radio talk show host from Ohio, and surprise, this guy thinks bu$h will win Ohio! Imagine that? Surprising, unbelievable! Hey, it could happen! ha ha ha ha ha. Oh yeak, Kelly Wallace is on too, you know, the old White House correspondent - she gives just such "superior" assessments as well. In an earlier segment this morning, there was discussion of the 2004 presidential campaign, and within about a 10 minute span, there was about 90% * coverage and 10% Kerry coverage! CNN is really bad, REALLY bad! One, not-so-small consolation, Crossfire yesterday. I did e-mail CNN and said I wanted to purchase a copy of the 10-15-04 Crossfire show with Jon Stewart on it. Haven't heard yet. Remember the good old days, when Crossfire was 1 hr. long, and repeated leter on? Oh yeah, remember when they used to have message board on their website? Right agter Selection 2000, they were the first "news" network to get rid of their boards. Hmmmm, wonder why that was?

4. You Might Just Have Something There . . .

but then, if I'd have taped Crossfire & therefore watched CNN yesterday, I'd have seen Stewart bitch-slap bow tie boy, Begala, & CNN & the BS media.

8. In the same way as dieing from a heart attack is better than cancer

You gotta be kidding! Who cares whether CNN is better than Fox. They are both atrocious. I don't watch either. If you want to be informed about the news, turn off the friggin TV Set! Spend the time you were spending on TV to read print journalism. The internet allows you to do this.....

15. better than FOX News. Right?

No. After the last debate I got so disgusted with MSNBC (The Bad Tweety) that I turned on the Food Network. After I slooged though the after debate polls with a dial up connection. I noticed that some of the post here were comparing FOX's commentary to MSNBC's commentary and FOX won on their balanced panel. I thought this was some kind of freepers sense humor. That said tuned into their repeat and while it was skewered to the repub side it was a much better panel than MSNBC or CNN. Sad huh.

6. That's a question I ask myself sometimes

CNN is Fox on valium.

7. CNN is FAUX On Steroids!

They're really rolling now - again - talking about SINclair boredcasting right now...
Some idiot just said "We really don't know what's in this new anti-Kerry "documentary." sheesh!

16. Why are they not talking about Nightline's debunking all that crap?

[Shopaholic]

9. Look at it this way--some cable news pundits are going to be forced

to eat shit on Nov. 3rd!

10. Got Me, I tuned them out weeks ago and I am happier for it

Although, I would have loved to see Jon Stewart bitch slap Tucker Carlson.

11. cnn is bogus.

its worse than fox because it stands on a false belief that it is truthful.

"more people trust cnn" what the fuck is that?

"we are almost believable" would be a better tag.

[bushwakker]

12. because it hurts soooo good

[Auntie Bush]

13. We watch CNN because there is nothing else...MSNBC is just as bad!

14. Your sig line made me cry.

That song should be the democratic party's national anthem.

I have been a loyal CNN viewer since day one. God I miss Ted Turner. After the DNC I stopped watching CNN. My blood pressure can't take it. I have recently came back but now I am more selective on what I watch and don't live it on all day. Like I used too.

I also e-mailed Crossfire about the Stewart show and got an automated reply. Good luck on your purchase.
