Apparently CNN is not to the right enough for some
A very good source told me today that they used to have CNN on in certain government buildings and direction came from the top administrator of this agency to switch to FOX. I guess CNN was a little too liberal for them.

I wonder how often officials appointed by the president make these types of decisions. It's seems like it would be a pretty controversial move since FOX News is like the mouthpiece of the administration. And apparently it was pretty secretive that the decision came from the very top.

1. freerepulsives call it the "commie news network"
CNN takes it from both sides. They are very lazy with stories and repeat Bushisms without question.

2. was recently stuck in Freeperville...
And, they still call CNN the "Clinton News Network. No wonder they get no ratings - RWers prefer Faux News, while liberals hate that CNN is trying to outfox Fox.
