***********CNN - Clinton News Network - ************
Amy Holmes -

Dee Dee Myers -

Candy Crawley -

Wolf Blitzer -

Anderson Cooper -

Lou Dobbs -

I turned over to CNN and what do I see? Hillary's surrogates all over the network, they pair
Clinton surrogates then one Obama surrogate and two Republican surrogates. they are actually
doing everything within their power to propagate Clinton as the Democratic nominee
distorting the truth over and over and over and over and over again.

The coverage is simplistics and vindictive, editors willfully creates distortions to stories
that are of importance to the populace in favor of minimal impact to corporatist. There is no
surprise America has enter a stage that its citizens aren't familiar with....the economy, war,
health care, education and green energy are swept underground in favor of 'shock and awe' they
are also controlled by a minority whose motives are not for the many but for the few.

This type of reporting IMO is partly responsible for the Iraq war and the Economy whereas
majority of them spend their career being cynical instead of reporting on real stories.
Meanwhile, conceitedness has infected a generation of self-conciously respectable journalist.

CNN and Fox News are actually proud of reporting distorted news.

7. 1) because she's paranoid. 2) doesn't address the point
Most of their commentators have been employed in a Clinton administration. Now, it's true that many democrats have been, so it may be tough to find someone to round it out -- if you're looking for 50/50. However, given that Obama has almost as many supers as Hillary does, certainly they could find someone.

But I have the same feeling every time I turn on the TV. The mainstream democratic pundits are all former Clintonites.

10. No because Ms Clinton actually has a fox member embeded with her and they get first crack....
This is not hyperbole or accusation this is the true reason she can not have CNN do the same FOX has first refusal for Ms Clinton. I make no interpretation to what that "means" I am just stating facts.

11. I mentioned in another
post that Hillary is behind the Rev Wright fiasco, Ferraro is a pundit
for Faux news and Hillary has an embedded journalist within her camp.

I knew there was a connection and the pieces are all falling into place,
well "the chicken are coming home to roost"

2. Notice that Clinton and Republican surrogates always attack the Obama surrogates
Kind of like how Obama has to defend himself against attacks from McCain and Hillary. BTW, has Hillary attacked McCain and his record yet? Or is she leaving that up to Obama?

3. And it is funny of how they talk about the Wright videos being shown everywhere.....
but they always have to play them, lest we forget.

They are ridiculous and transparent by those of us who have watched enough cable news to understand how they work.

On the 5th anniversary of the War, they covered the War with Obama for like 3 seconds, and then interjected their talking points..."no way in hell Obama is let off the hook" for like the rest of the time.

And you'd think that Anderson, who was "supposed" to be Katrina Man would have any empathy as to what that speech was really about. Guess he likes having his mug on TeeVee so he will do as his corporate masters tell him to do.

DeeDee Myers was repeating the lie about Obama's hand not over his heart for the "pledge"....which of course we all know was really Anthem. She's no more than a Clinton Tool!

I'm writing to media matters.

6. Her and Amy Holmes
are just OTT with their arguments, they are both deliberately distorting the truth
without remorse.

I watched Colbert earlier this evening and Dee Dee was on that show touting her
'Woman must rule the world' book saying that it would be ok for power sharing,
where she gets that crap from is beyond me.

9. If Thatcher was
like Hillary.... I can assure you she would not have won her conservative nomination.

She(Thatcher) had to thread carefully, but with Hillary the arrogance stems from knowing that
she has the media in her back pocket for 60cents.

Wonder how long that will last?
