1. It's about time for Faux to be called out.

I hope this grows and continues.

[The Wielding Truth]

38. CNN is proving it's integrity by reporting on the distortions of FOX.

Any news organization worth their salt, must uncover the bald faced manufactured lies presented by Fox and the RW to the public as truths.

[Cha]

39. Imv, cnn is proving it wants to be numbero uno and

will even resort to calling out the facts on fauxsn00ze but will they report facts on the Obama admin? hmmm?

[Towlie]

50. But they're only reacting to attacks against CNN, not Fox's policy of right-wing lies & propaganda.

Big deal.

[Stellar]

2. Food Fight!!!!

Fox News, distorting not reporting!

[Overseas]

3. K&R. THere's a lot of material on Fox for a series of such ads.

I hope they continue too.

[get the red out]

4. Its about time

And the ad is WAY too mild.

[onehandle]

5. Is this actually running on the air? Kudos to CNN, if so. nt

[kpete]

8. CNN

Following CNN anchor Rick Sanchez’s angry rebuttal of Fox News’ claims in a newspaper ad that the other news networks didn’t cover the 912 Tea Party protests, CNN has launched a 15-second ad clip in which it says of the rival network: “Fox News — distorting, not reporting.”

[katandmoon]

6. Ohh the gloves come OFF when FOX gores CNN's own li'l ox. Otherwise FOX can lie its ass off, sez CNN

[Cha]

40. You got

that right. I didn't know orginally that this was about faux complaining about other networks not covering their precious teabags but it would seem they opened a big ol' can of network wars.

Not one network complained when the others didn't "cover" the anti-war protestors, 'course, they weren't covering it, either. Fucking US corporate mediawhores.

[icnorth]

7. CNN don't take kindly

to Faux pissing in their corn flakes. :-) Now this might be worth watching!:popcorn:

[sakabatou]

9. They just noticed this?

O.o?

[Capt. America]

10. Corporate news versus the GOP propaganda network. Woo-woo! Who cares.

[IsItJustMe]

11. Have to agree with that. They just have different slants of reporting from the same master

[intheflow]

17. No kidding.

I dont' remember wall-to-wall coverage of any of the myriad of 100,000 - 500,000 people marches during Bush's administration. :grr:

[Capt. America]

18. How true.

[cyndensco]

36. Right. Who cares?

[Cha]

41. I do..maybe they'll wake some brainwashed Americans

out of their stupor.

[GivePeaceAchance]

12. WTG, CNN! It's about time Faux were called out at every avenue on every front.

[scentopine]

13. Fox and CNN fighting over scabby, right wing scum - arggghhh

[rpannier]

19. That's what I was thinking nt

[Cha]

42. I know..it's a freakin' eyeopener.

Fucking mediawhores. I know I said that..and I'll keep saying it.

[PatrynXX]

14. as long as cnn forgets about shots fire from coast guard

whoops... thats minor to the Acorn snafu Fox Gossip Channel Finds itself mired in.

[rooboy]

15. "What they do to us, one day they will do to each other," n/t

[Cha]

43. Whose quote is that, rooboy?

Yours? How prescient!

[Douglas Carpenter]

16. for how many years has FOX News been distorting, not reporting?

it took this to reach the tipping point?

[Jacobair]

20. You know, I don't blame CNN for hitting back. However, in a way,

I think FOX eats this up because their news gets mentioned.
There's that adage that any publicity is good publicity.
In fact, the ad could potentially even have the reverse effect where people tune in to FOX just to see to what extent they're accused of distorting. You know, the 'ol you can't pass a crash on the freeway without looking syndrome.
So tough call for CNN. But sometimes, dignifying crazy accusations with a response is not always appropriate. Maybe better to simply ignore, instead of falling into FOX's trap. That might be my view if I was in charge at CNN.

[SweepPicker]

21. Any publicity is good publicity

I agree with this 100%. The best way to fight these clowns is to ignore them. These ads are only generating more press for Fux.

[DUlover2909]

28. I see your point, but I disagree.

Lots of people need to have the truth repeated to them over and over in simplistic ways in order for them to believe it. They are using the same tactic Fox News uses, but in reverse. Instead of telling the same lies over and over, CNN is telling the truth, in this instance.
:hi:

[Jacobair]

37. Sure, I absolutely understand where you're coming from

:hi:

[Roland99]

22. It's taken THIS long for some REAL criticism of Faux to finally show up in the media?!?!

Better late than never I guess but for crying out loud!!

[slay]

23. CNN ain't no shining beacon of journalism either...

however I'm more than happy that they are calling out FoxNews for being liars!

[asdjrocky]

24. Gee, CNN or Fox, who's gonna tell me the truth.

If you ask me, it's a toss up. Two terrible news organizations going after each other, how funny.

[BootinUp]

25. This could be the start of something

it can't hurt if they start fighting over who is more accurate. Might result in more accuracy, better reporting over time.

[gtar100]

26. Media wars! Who dares to tell the truth!!

Who dares to buck their corporate masters!

[Jackpine Radical]

27. Now, if Fox will only retaliate on the air,

I could only rejoice at the prospect of the blatant Republican network and the slightly more subtle corporate network getting into a poop flinging contest.

[Cha]

45. Yeah, will faux respond?! The

corporatemediawhore saga continues...

[defendandprotect]

29. Like it -- "Distorting, Not Reporting" . . .

[lib_wit_it]

52. Catchy! I think I'll use it. We need to enlighten those who can be enlightened. The die hard

Rush and Glenn fans can't be saved, but some people who just don't know any better could be led to the truth. Tell everyone we know that Faux is a Naux Gaux!

[mjvpi]

30. CNN-The Ted Days

I still remember when CNN was 24 hr news. Headline News was 24 hr headline news. Then came the move to be Fox lite, or like. Glenn Beck is a CNN creation. CNN International is different news on the same day.

[defendandprotect]

55. Was it my imagination or did we find out a few things when it was Ted . . ???

[malaise]

31. Excellent

Rec

[seattle_blue]

32. cool

Right now I'm listening to an interview on the radio with the Cash Cab guy. He's funny.

[and-justice-for-all]

33. Let the Media Wars begin!!!

:popcorn:

I hope they destroy each other.

[lib_wit_it]

53. Love your sig pic!! People, we need to steal this and spread it around! Hope Justice won't mind.tice

[and-justice-for-all]

54. Have at it...and visit Evolvefish.com to get a real one...nt

[Willo]

34. The pot calling the kettle black

CNN has distorted the truth about death panels, the protests (on both sides) and ACORN, to name a recent few. They just distort with a bit more sophistication and are therefore more dangerous than FOX.

Their methods include:
-Quoting the liars and the lies, without challenge, for as long as possible before reporting the facts.
-Trying to make the truth questionable by posing facts in question form.

[bobbolink]

35. We know this will be seen as brand-name fighting, but it's really true

that Faux is PROPAGANDA.

CNN isn't all that great, but maybe now they will be spurred on to distinguish themselves as more objective.

That would be all to the good.

[samsingh]

44. this could have traction .

[RainDog]

46. the Daily Show has been telling this truth for years

CNN should start a "newsy" version, perfect in this sick and twisted zeitgeist.

Five minutes of Truth or Lie.

Just as the Daily Show does, CNN could juxtapose the lies and the truth. One issue at the top of every hour - but let them focus on actual ISSUES - beyond Fox also lying about CNN.

[defendandprotect]

58. Is Daily Show/Jon Stewart on vacation . . . haven't seen the show in a week . . . could be me?

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

47. CNN has absolutely NO credibility as long as Lou Dobbs is still on their roster...

[defendandprotect]

57. Thought we were close to getting rid of that racist pig last year?

[Ken Burch]

48. Cable News Trash Talk! Gotta love it!

:evilgrin:

[Beacool]

49. Ohhh, this is going to be good!!!

Let's see how FOX responds.

:popcorn:

[Lerkfish]

51. too bad they weren't accused of not covering antiwar protests

well, because they didn't.

[defendandprotect]

56. Does anyone think it odd that first MSNBC jumped leftward with Olbermann, Rachel and Schultz-???

Part of that is still GE, right? Microsoft?

These are still corporations -- with right wing agendas --

Now I'm not watching CNN ... but they're attacking Fox?

Could it be that the elites know something about the numbers that we need to think

about and know????

What numbers? Obama's overall landslide, maybe? Their failing numbers, maybe?

Fear of the criminality that capitalism is capable of -- and the fact that a few could

bring the whole thing down? Too optimistic?

Anyone notice anything . . . venture a guess?

[BigD_95]

59. I love it!!

its about time Fox's gets called out
