We bash CNN all the time... but TODAY, they stepped up... BIG TIME

They acted like journalists.


And the reason?


McCain pissed all over Larry King last week and had the nerve to bash Campbell Brown for acting like a journalist.


CNN is pissed.


And rightly so.


McCain failed to heed Mark Twain's famous warning: "Never get into an argument with a man who buys his ink by the barrel."



Good day today, CNN. Keep it up, and you might just win back a lot of viewers.

1. I would hope that CNN would be fed up with being pissed on by McCain and Palin...
we shall see.
Disrespect the media at your own peril.

2. I thought it had to do more with the "daily polls" showing mcPOW
tied and leading in some cases. They always attack the leader.

But, I hope you are right and they are fed up with McPOW/Barbie's shit.

5. I really think (as I said somewhere else) that McCain/Palin really wounded the media's ego.
Not just with the Larry King/Campbell Brown thing, but with the self imposed "Sarah is off limits" bull they are pulling. Sure the media likes to stir crap up, but they have HUGE egos as well, and it would be wise not to bruise them.

7. I got old waiting......
so excuse me if I don't do the happy dance.

I'll not watch, but I'll read here what's up with CNN.

Sometimes they do the bait and switch.

9. Yep. And even AOL is getting on the bandwagon. The AOL front page
has an article about Palin's church wanting to 'pray away the gay'. I almost fell over. They have been so universally GLOWING in their comments thus far.
