1. Dem leadership canceled the impeachment

a mockery once again

[Pharaoh]

2. Wow!

CNN how fair and balanced of you! :rofl: :puke:

[Jack Rabbit]

3. My thoughts exactly

I always thought Campbell Brown to be Foxy.

[desktop]

29. She is FOXY, she' married to a republican FOXnews regular

eom

[Jack Rabbit]

34. I know who her husband is

There's no accounting for taste.

That's exactly what I meant by Foxy. CNN is at least expected to adhere to a higher standard than that report of hers.

[MindMatter]

35. That's the only reason they covered it at all

Because somebody told them there was a Kabuki theater running, so they rushed right over with cameras rolling. That's ALL they do. If you want coverage of serious news, you came to the wrong place, fella.

[rusty quoin]

4. Oh crap! I stopped it after "waste of tax payer money."

Those two do a nice imitation of Fox and Friends.

[rabies1]

23. At first I was glad the hearing got some publicity

until I was stung by "waste of tax-payers money". Since when is finally speaking out about what a rotten presidency this has been a waste of tax-payer money? It's about time this stuff has been said in such a way - Three cheers for speaking the truth! Sometimes I watch the news and think if the administration is really that bad, then everyone would speak up; I must be too sensitive or something.

[DutchLiberal]

31. Only then?

[UpInArms]

38. a waste of taxpayer money?

here's one:

Cost of U.S. War and Occupation of Iraq

$539,735,773,498

and another:

National Debt:


The Outstanding Public Debt (updates automatically) is:


The estimated population of the United States is 304,432,281
so each citizen's share of this debt is $31,353.52.

The National Debt has continued to increase an average of
$1.77 billion per day since September 28, 2007!

[AntiFascist]

42. Exactly! The hypocrisy of CNN is overwhelming...

This is CNN: Cable Non-News

[Royal Oak Rog]

5. please people give up cable now

we are living in a third world country with pretenda news. CNN,FUAX, even MSNBC minus Olbermann are all one in the same. They're not on our side. And when I say our, I mean the middle class and the poor.

[Amonester]

6. Which part of "...the ways it has clearly violated the Law" these two

ridiculous CFNONX clowns don't understand?

Maybe they don't know anything about the Constitution or the law...

[L. Coyote]

7. This YouTube needs a few more comments, like "boycott CNN"

[quidam56]

8. No wonder congress is at 9% approval rating

www.wisecountyissues.com

[bjobotts]

9. Backlash my ass.What a load of republican crap. "No one wants to hear the truth"??

[bjobotts]

10. It should be impeachment hearings but dem leaders are blocking it

[bjobotts]

11. Trying to pacify the public outrage over abuse of power.No pardons

[Sanity Claws]

12. Thanks for reminding me why I don't watch CNN

What trash!
Democrats are making themselves look spineless for not standing up to Bush and not doing anything about the propaganda put out on public air waves.

[iconicgnom]

13. The problem in this case isn't CNN or the MSM. We all should know that by now.

[20score]

14. My letter to CNN about this. Though it will do no good.

Dear CNN,

Re: Campbell Brown and Erica Hill’s coverage of the impeachment hearings.

That little bit of fluff and Bush fellating was another black mark and low point for journalism in our country. There already is an entire station devoted to twisting facts to favor those in power at the present, it’s Fox News and the propaganda should be left for them. It is this type of false journalism that brought us the Bush presidency, the Iraq War, the housing crisis and guaranties more of the same in the future. This issue is very important, but no one would know that by watching this report.
This is not hyperbole, you really should look in the mirror and be honest about the damage you’ve done to the country with your low standards and tabloid approach to reporting.

[bbgrunt]

15. good letter.

[Big Blue Marble]

16. It is oh so funny watching our constitution flushed.

Isn't it girls? Just a laugh and oh look at those cute sun glasses on the little baby.

Hope neither of them has or are planning any children. Cause it will not be the same place to live
when they come of age.

[awoke_in_2003]

17. Looks like the are resorting to Fox tactics...

since when are Lamar Smith and Trent Franks democrats? The mentioned republicans, but had Ds next to their names.

[bertman]

18. CNN Propaganda outlet does it again.

Apparently Erica didn't bother to actually listen to any of the testimony that was presented.

You have to give it to the Bush Crime Family, they and their MSM toadies have done everything in their power to reduce to a joke the idea of impeaching this law-breaking, lying, little bugger.

Yes, Speaker Pelosi, I include you as a member of the Bush Crime Family.

This is supposedly one of the "liberal media" outlets.

[aintitfunny]

19. RNCNN apparently (eom)

[robinlynne]

20. NOtice they put a D in front of the Republican's names. unbelievable crap!

[Mosaic]

21. Utterly Disgusting

I've stopped watching CNN now. This was the final straw. No one should trust this propaganda network.

[proud2BlibKansan]

22. Stagecraft?

A waste of taxpayer money?

OMG I am going to be sick.

[Jeroen]

24. deleted

[Politicalboi]

25. Simply unbelievable

These two bubble heads have no idea what has happend in the last 7 years. A war is there a war going on somewhere?

[W T F]

26. I can't say I blame the two ditzes.....

after all, they're only trying to hang on to their wealthy tax breaks.

[underpants]

27. That is the epitome of the mainstream media of the last 30 years

disgusting

[iconicgnom]

Impeachment is off the table. The D's have caved on everything so far. Where did they get it wrong?

Be honest. Why isn't mockery "fair comment" on this latest iteration of the same charade?

[iconicgnom]

[DutchLiberal]

30. And then right-wingers still call it the 'communist news network'...

Or: 'the tool of the Democratic Party'.

Can't somebody shoot those b*tches? What has this got to do with journalism anyway?

[Faith No More]

32. I've always tried to be a gentleman..................

but I wouldn't wipe my ass with these two sluts!!!

[Jemmons]

33. There is a thick smell of fear in their way of response n/t

[PerpetuallyDazed]

36. WASTE OF TAXPAYER MONEY??

CNN should frickin' report on the HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF TAXPAYERS that want this bastard administration impeached! Congress at an all time low, president's popularity BELOW THAT OF NIXON'S BEFORE HIS IMPEACHMENT... astounding!

[seemslikeadream]

37. I'm absolutely DONE with CNN

and ALL TV for that matter

[Canuckistanian]

39. Wow. That was indescribable.

First off, they showed an enormous lack of respect for calling a Congressional hearing "Kabuki theater".

They treated the proceedings as if they were a beauty pageant for dogs. What a farce.

But I was most astounded that Lamar Smith and Trent Franks have suddenly become Democrats.

This was propaganda at it's finest.

[slipslidingaway]

40. Democrats against impeachment, I had not noticed

"But I was most astounded that Lamar Smith and Trent Franks have suddenly become Democrats."

Interesting that they mention Republicans who attended and then show Smith and Franks as Democrats speaking against impeachment and the hearing in general.

Just wanted to check the CNN video...link

[gateley]

41. Normally a piece like this would infuriate me -- but the Dems brought it on

themselves. We deserved this condescending story.

Had Pelosi done what she was supposed to do when she became Speaker, we'd be watching much different coverage now.

I am so disgusted.

[Quantess]

43. Who asked her for her opinion?

"Waste of money". I'd like to slap her.

[GaYellowDawg]

44. Frankly, you can thank Nancy Pelosi for this.

Because she took impeachment off the table, she caused this to be nothing more than a giant whining session. Why should CNN or anyone else take this Democratic Congress seriously? They've let the Bush administration steamroller them with zero fear for any consequences.

I didn't particularly like either of those two shitheads, but the reason why you see a clip like this as this Congress's legacy is because of Pelosi and the Democratic leadership. Isn't there a Democrat running against Pelosi who can replace her?!?

[20score]

45. I watched this trash again to see if it was as bad as I thought ...

it was yesterday. Well, it's worse. Those two vacuous vapid vixens of vile have sunk lower than I thought was possible. Congrats ladies, you have outdone Fox.

[provis99]

46. why do these "reporters" sound like two Valley Girls talking about school scandals?

Jeez, what an embarrassment the media is in America these days.

[Senator]

47. “First they ignore you, then they laugh at you...

...then they fight you, then you win.” -- Gandhi

So, on to Step 3 then...

Everyone just needs to keep talking impeachment.

Complain to these bubble heads. Demand more from DC-Dems. Call them ALL on their lies about "not enough time" and "backlash" (which is as real as the WMD in Iraq).

The hard part was getting them to stop ignoring. A whole new wave of people have been made aware of the possibility of impeachment by this "exchange." Most people can hear the emptiness of their (oxymoronic) "stagecraft" jeering.

Impeachment remains our ONLY moral, patriotic option.

If you are wasting effort on anything else -- including (genuflect) The Sacred National Election Horserace -- then you (yes, you personally) are part of the problem, not the solution.
