Letter to Cnn. Too strong?

[tkmorris]

John Kerry was referring to President Bush in his speech, not the troops, and EVERYONE AT CNN KNOWS IT. I have never seen a more blatant attempt to smear a politician, and by extension a party, than this one.

I had thought that, unlike the cretins at Fox, CNN at least kept up some pretense of impartiality. Obviously I was mistaken. This behavior is appalling and unforgivable. Journalism is dead, leaving only the incessant corporate propaganda designed to do nothing more than influence the masses. You people disgust me.

What do you think? Oh, and please do write your own. http://www.cnn.com/feedback/cnntv/

1. K&R my friend...

2. click send

[OhioChick]

3. Not too strong, at all.

Send it. I'll be writing, as well.

[Bumblebee]

4. Send it.

[The Backlash Cometh]

5. The only thing I haven't seen is the actual quote.

Once you see the quote, you realize he was talking about Bush. The operative word was "Homework." Do your homework, or you'll make bad decisions that will get this country stuck in Iraq.

Good e-mail, by the way.

[blm]

6. I think you nailed it completely.

[MADem]

7. Right on the mark. Hell, if it were me, I'd probably add this sentence

as a sign off: "And a hearty fuck you to you cowardly, enabling BushCo quislings, and the horse you rode in on!!!!!"

I can understand if you don't want to take advantage of my editorial suggestion!! :rofl:

[JuniperLea]

8. Perfect! Send it and be proud! eom

[Terri S]

9. Beautiful!!!!

Absolutely nailed it!!

[kdmorris]

10. I sent feedback straight to Lou

About both the Kerry bullshit and his biased attempt to make it seem like e-voting had "suddenly" become a problem, when the Republicans are looking to get their ass kicked. I also mentioned to him that Wexler has been fighting an uphill battle with NO MEDIA COVERAGE since 2002 to get a paper trail, or some way to recount votes with a confirmation by the voter.

GOD I'M REALLY STEAMED...:mad: You hand out the candy tonight, honey!

[emulatorloo]

11. K&R -- I sent them one too. . .n/t

[movonne]

12. This letter is not too strong...I also wrote in (not as good as yours) and

hope everyone here who reads this writes...if it were the repugs they would be writing in in droves...

[ContraCommando]

13. Here's what I sent - short and sweet

Doing Murdoch’s dirty work, huh? A war hero is smeared by chicken hawk cretins and you do your best to help them, pathetic.

These people that you are helping are scum and so are you. They’ve killed thousands in a pointless war and that is somehow not as bad as a botched joke?

[MasonJar]

14. Done. Come on, DU. Get those e-mails flying in to Lou.

[Snotcicles]

15. Perfect n/t

[Penndems]

16. I'd say that letter was just about perfect

Succinct and straight to the point. Good job! :thumbsup:

[bunny planet]

17. not too strong at all

exactly what they deserve to hear.

[OnceUponTimeOnTheNet]

18. It's short and to the point.

No threats of Violence, no mention of guns. Looks good to me.

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

19. A little weak.

Throw in an F-Bomb or two.

[tkmorris]

23. I actually had to edit a couple F bombs out

I have never been this furious watching CNN. Lying isn't exactly a new thing for them but this crap is just so blatant, and right before an election. It's insulting is what it is, that they believe we will be so easily duped by their slanted coverage. I had to change the channel because I was shouting at the TV when trick or treaters started arriving. No point in scaring the kids.

20. i voted in the poll and emailed also.

"No. John Kerry was speaking about Mr. Bush. I got it. Apparently Kerry is right about Bush doing his homework. It went right over Bush's head. Shame on you, Lou, for perpetuating the White House spin."

ok, i was too kind. let's see if they run it. :smoke:

tweety is saw the truth and you know keith will have something to say about this . . . not to mention js.

polls said 'no' kerry should not apologize to troops.

[Parche]

21. awesome

Awesome reply, we need to tell these people in the media who make a big deal out
of absolutely nothing to shut their traps.....



JOHN KERRY 2008

[PreacherCasey]

22. A blatant misrepresentation of the truth...

I emailed as well.

[hvn_nbr_2]

24. You're too kind.

If you want to read a really scathing rant on CNN and the media cartel in general, go to the archived post here:
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=132&topic_id=1775052
It's kind of long and some parts are a little dated (May 2005).

BTW, in case anyone cares, they never even ackowledged the letter.

[Melynn]

25. Good Letter n/t

[KAZ]

26. Couldn't have said it better!

And I didn't. I've sent at least a half dozen emails to CNN tonight, and I was too kind. Great job TKMorris.

[Dr. Death]

27. Definitely not too strong

I sent one to Dobbs as well (there's a thread with the text in GD). Glad to see others are too!

Good job.
:thumbsup:

[Laelth]

28. K&R

Well said. Of course, I hope you're wrong, but I fear you hit the nail on the head.

:dem:

29. Great! When it was Bush's time to fight, he ran, Bush went AWOL,

became a deserter on the 31st day. What if our troops were to do as Bush did? All this while Kerry was in combat! Why did Bush run? Bush should apologize! Actions speak louder than words.

Bush should apologize for burn out Constitution!

I had quit posting for a long time, but I am extremely angry! CNN, MSM, why don't Dems have a spine? Well, Kerry did, it also took a lot of guts to go to Nam and fight, instead of sending others!

[tenshi816]

30. Short, sharp and to the point.

You speak the truth and sometimes the truth hurts. Send it.
