CNN should just change its name to FOX News 2
Edited on Wed Jan-18-06 05:41 PM by Adenoid_Hynkel
and quit pretending to be a legitimate journalism outlet.

kind of like espn2 and mtv2.

now we get slanted reports from leslie blitzer followed by analysis from jc watts, glenn beck and bill bennett

why does CNN think it will gain viewers by ignoring half the country's viewpoint?

7. I was so pissed today at CNN.
We was watching CNN and they went to the stand by Reid and the gang in the middle of a speech then all of a sudden they switched to another story. What a crock of poo. We should call their contributors.

10. I sent them an e-mail about an hour ago
I wished them well in their battle with Faux News for the 30% of mouth- breathing, knuckle dragging audience.

I said I've had my intelligence insulted for too long by Wolf and Daryn, and now they add Beck and Bennett? Adios motherfuckers.

12. I wish we could hurt them
(chicken noodle nooze) where it counts..on their bottom line. But, until we figure out a way to do that..they will keep on keepin' on with what they're doing. Suppressing the real news for some misguided preception that it's the only way to compete in today's market.

Betray your Country..YEAH!..That's the ticket..SISS BOOM BAH!

Who's the head of cnn? jonathan klein? he must be some whacked out dude.

14. Call the companies that advertise on CNN
and tell them you won't buy their products. That's hitting them at the bottom line.

"Three-CP1 on your dial. Coming up next, 'Uposcrabblenyk' followed by 'What Fits Into Russia'..."

15.  Faux ratings are higher. CNN emulates Faux to get higher ratings.
That's how television thinks. It's ALL about ratings.
