2. CNN is not the worst. No where near as bad as FAUX. We have to get the facts
from somewhere. Do you believe a weapon's cache wasn't found? Or that it wasn't thought to be from rogue elements in the Iranian Guard?

I believe the whole thing. Though I know the MSM has made mistakes..I still need my news. And CNN is the best.

I don't believe it and even if there were weapons caches, guess who's weapons and ammo killed scores of muslims in the two areas in Lebanon? <Jeopardy Theme tune> Yes, OURS! We have the biggest bad-ass killing machines and weapons systems of the *entire planet.*

Given the above, don't cha think it a little disingenuous (understated) of us to point our finger at a GENUINE NEIGHBOR of Afghanistan getting involved due to the fact that we are merely FOREIGN occupiers?

What part of "IRAQ and AFGHANISTAN are NOT Our Countries" can the blood and guts soaked American M$M not understand? :grr:

4. I think CNN IS the worst only because they have a slight aura of respectability
I said "slight" aura only because many older people remember when CNN used to be a reputable news source. Their slant is a lot more subtle than Faux and therefore easier for the gullible to believe. Same thing can be said for PBS and NPR.
