Cannot get CNN on Comcast (but can Faux)
We subscribe to Comcast - the only cable monopoly here - and this morning we cannot get CNN nor Headline News. Not APL, for that matter.

The rep was not helpful at all. The stock answer "yes, we are working on it" is B.S., of course.

Only yesterday evening, on Lou Dobbs (or was it Blitzer?) as we were listening to guests talking about Bush disapproval rating, spouses thought about watching Faux News just to see how they handle him...

BTW, I know many here still hate CNN but I've read recently that their new glitzy Situation Room now gets more viewers than Fox so, go get them Wolf.

1. Working Fine On Comcast in Chicago
Might be your local weather...rain can mess up cable signals.

Sadly, it's same old crappy content...so you're not missing anything.

3. 'Go get them, Wolf?' I guess Fox's freepers have found Wolf
and are switching back and forth ~ he's nothing more than a WH propagandist. Don't why you're bothered by not being able to get them. All they do now is promote the same lies and distortions Fox does, except they are pretending to be more honest about it. Is Wolf still saying the Abramoff scandal is bi-partisan?

4. Well, at least yesterday, with their guests
an old Republican strategist that I am drawing blank now, said that there is no way Bush can recover his numbers. Oh, Rawlings, I think.

All three guests were so negative on Bush and that got spouse's comment.

I like their Headline News. Simple straight of what is happening in the world now - when I am not at the computer.
