CNN is the Today Show-lite in the morning....giggling...too much fun.
And poor young Soledad, she just couldn't wrap her little mind around the idea that

medical professionals in California wouldn't participate in the murder of a

murderer(execution). She couldn't believe that the state couldn't find at least

ONE medical professional to assist in the execution. Gee, Soledad, we actually

train those people to SAVE lives not take them.

4. NPR is just as bad
There must be Happy Pills in the announcers' water supply.

6. Aw, c'mon! Don't be so hard on good ol' NPR!
Where else can you get such wonderful Quintessence of Conventional Wisdom from star "journalists" like Cokie Roberts? I just love Monday mornings, when she tells me what I already knew weeks before - kind of like watching a penguin ralph up pre-chewed fish.

Don't you?

7. Yep...sad but true...the right-wing war on the media has really worked
The only thing on NPR I still like is Daniel Schorr. Where are the young Daniel Schorrs? Not getting hired, evidently.

3. They are the court jesters and the Crowley's and the Blitzers are

the kissers. They prostrate themselves at the feet of the cabal as represented by George in his crown and they then kiss the ermine trim of his robe.

Yes, it's true, I hold disdain from CNN.

5. I recently switched to CNN instead of the Today Show
The GE show was just too much for me. I grew up watchign that show and while it was never really hard hitting at least it didn't openly shill for one side or the other...now it does. Thrown in the decorating and mindless cooking bits and there is really no need for it.

I watch CNN because at least they actually focus on news items and they do it in such a hilarious surreal way. I laugh out loud at something almost every morning. Oh Carol Costello ain't hard on the eyes either.

You are right about Soledad (pregnancy free for a several year streak) who shot back at Jeffrey Toobin yesterday "What about the victim no one was worried about her pain or suffering?" Toobin ignored it as they were talking about the law not lawlessness.

10. Where do you think Costello stands on the bush regime?
I cannot tell--for months I thought she was a wing nut, but now over the last year I have thought I have caught hints of sarcasm coming through from her about bushit and co?

I don't know why I try to spot this and speculate but I always do!

13. I don't think she likes them
I detect a hint of sarcasm in her voice more and more often these days when she reports on the BFEE or King George.

15. Ok then it isn't just my imagination
The worst was Bill Hemmer and Soledad together--they were the pits and I think that Chad (weather person) is a right winger.

14. I think she is a closet liberal
But notice, she's not getting much face time over there anymore.

11. I watch the CNN morning show too.
I think it's better than some of the other morning shows. I really like Carol Costello, she does shome good stuff sometimes.

And that Miles dude--he's an ass but he always makes me laugh.

12. I switched to CNN in the morning a couple years ago
I had been a loyal Today Show viewer for several decades. And I like CNN so much better. It focuses more on news and doesn't do that dumb fluff - like cooking segments. (If I wanted cooking help, I would watch The Food Channel!)

I think Soledad does a good job. She is infinitely better than Katie and Matt.

8. When that Zane whatever her name is filled in for stupedad
It was like a completely different show...Zane seemed professional, didn't opine, didn't appear to do bush cheerleading, it was quite refreshing.

Now of course it's right back to the same stupidity and drivel with that flake back from vaca.
