Is it my imagination, or has CNN turned into a news organization?
I have been watching CNN for a long time. For most of that time, they made me cringe because I felt like they would only report the parts of a story that didn't make BushCo look bad. I figured they were in the pocket of the GOP.

But here lately they have been reporting stuff more evenly...dare I say it, evenly POSITIVELY for Dems. Especially on Palin.

1. You are right, I have noticed that as well and have turned away from MSNBC, mainly
because of Scarborough and most of their women on the news seemed to be so biased, couldn't watch it anymore. Will probably go back because I have to admit Scarborough had some good guests on but just can't take him. Tweety also overall is OK. But, back to CNN, they are a news organization and it is not just politics and their overall news coverage is good.

I also watch CNN International which is really good world news and reporting.

4. Agree...
Only watch MSNBC for Olbermann, Maddow and Tweety of late.

3. I dunno...that's what everybody said last week. And 'fair and balanced' is Fox, not CNN. n/t

7. Yeah, the one success Fox has for sure is they have made the term "fair and balanced" laughable,

6. They do what the owners tell them to do
A little real reporting to keep the public's confidence, but make sure to try to give Republicans the edge.

8. I've noticed that too!
What a relief from Mornng Joe. I've been watching CNN mostly now and only turn on MSNBC in the afternoon when David Shuster comes on.

:popcorn:

11. Hey, man, I almost fell off my chair. My husband was in the kitchen and turned around
and said, "Who IS that??" because the interviewer was REALLY attacking Palin saying that she would go into Pakistan without permission.
