My Letter to CNN!
After watching CNN this morning and for the past few, I HAD to find a way to send them an e-mail to express my disgust with their right wing leaning news every day! Well, I found it. And this is what I wrote to them:

"Good Morning!

CNN claims that it is; "The most trusted...". I would ask: "Trusted by whom?" The right wing? It seems that every story, every interview and every comment made on ALL of CNN's programs are spinning for the conservatives and Republicans. This morning, for example, we saw Ann Coulter and Orrin Hatch interviewed. Both are extremely conservative and yet we heard nothing from any liberal or Democrat anywhere on the program! I wonder why this is? I don't understand why CNN and the rest of the media for that matter, cannot present the news in a non-partisan way. Showing both sides and opinions of events in Washington. In the end, I had to turn off the TV and stop watching CNN because of the political lean of your network.

Continuing to say you are "the most trusted" is a joke. The only thing you are the most trusted for is showing the United States that CNN covertly stands for the "Conservative News Network"."

12. Ask if Bush or Cheney signs Blitzer's checks
Those "be nice to Republicans" paychecks he gets.

14. He was one of the first to try to outfox FOX
When FNC started to kill in the ratings, Wolf was one of the first to start to swing over to the right.

16. Nothing Changes, As A Matter of Fact, They're Worse
when I think about how many DU'ers have written to CNN over the past 5 years, and nothing changes - they are worse than ever

17. I know....
