CNN's Caferty Hypocricy! He asks: "Why aren't People in the Streets against This Administration?"
Edited on Fri Jun-08-07 05:36 PM by KoKo01
"Where are these Democrats?" he said "What about the 60's when the Campuses were Protesting...Why aren't the people OUT THERE." (paraphrase ...but the jist of it)


He then goes on to try to imitate one of "Kieth's Great Essays" and ends with "WHERE ARE THEY?"


I SHOUTED AT THE SCREEN! "You F**ING BASTARD!" When did CNN EVER SHOW THE HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF MARCHERS ALL OVER THE WORLD...INCLUDING the US who TRIED TO STOP THIS WAR "Before" WE INVADED? I yelled more saying: "CNN Spends 24/7 Covering Paris Hilton that Teeny Bopper going on into her 20's, and YOU (JACK CAFFERTY) ask "WHERE ARE THE PEOPLE?" :eyes:

I shouted AGAIN AT THE TV SCREEN: "WHERE IS CNN'S COVERAGE OF THE MASSIVE VIOLENT PROTESTS AGAINST THE G-8 MEETINGS IN GERMANY? Where WAS CNN with every Environmental Degradation Protest, the World Trade Organization and the other G-8 MEETINGS? Where were you EVERY TIME WE MARCHED ON DC in the THOUSANDS and had support from EUROPE from the INVASION THROUGHOUT 2007!

JACK CAFFERTY IS a "HOLLOW MAN" just like CNN's LOU DOBBS!

They SOUND GOOD...until you "scratch the surface" where ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS AND BLOVIATING! :grr:

:rant:

BLAME IT ON DEMOCRATS, STUDENTS AMERICAN MIDDLE CLASS when WHAT DID CNN EVER DO TO EXPOSE THE BUSHIES OR GIVE US FAIR COVERAGE???? WHAT?

1. Send him an email.
Show him examples of the hypocrisy; take it to their doorstep and make them notice it. Be the media.

2. Communicating is always good. YES. DO IT. He routinely asks for
viewers' opinions, after all. Why not give him yours? You HAVE to be a squeaky wheel. You HAVE to weigh in. Silence is absolute defeat.

If they think you don't care, THEY WON'T, EITHER!!!

12. He actually reads his email
or so we're led to believe. Send it to him during the show, when he's most probably logged in.

Believe me, I understand your frustration. NGU.

29. Yes, but be sure to include links. SOME media did cover it -- if only
DU and various blogs, and IndyMedia.

8. I happen to like
Jack, Wolfe and Lou over at CNN. They are the only reason I tune in to watch. They do cover things important to middle America. Although lately I noticed that Jack gets a little irritated when Wolfe calls him apart of the best political team on television.

5. The Dems were out of power since 1994 in Congress. We've been back 4 months and
we should have saved the world by now.

16. Exactly...Cafferty's Hipocratic Views about this lead me to
:puke: Have you ever HEARD HIM SAY IF "HE" SERVED IN VIETNAM? NO...because he's a bloviator who just does what his Corporate Shills tell him to. He's like Dobbs...(the money goes under the table but it gets your kids into Ivy League and secures a position for them in the Heirarchy of American ENTITLED!

They are getting to be LAUGHABLE...if the PRICE OF THIS WAR wasn't so Devastating!

:cry:

7. I agree, you should e-mail him
But leave out anything that sounds like a personal insult. Just the "Where was CNN when..." sections.

11. You are accusing me of "Personally Insulting Jack Cafferty on CNN?"

28. I think what they meant is that if you want it to be read, leave them out
I agree... I never use profanity or insults or anything when writing a politician or the media, because when you do that it's just so much easier for them not to take you seriously.

10. He's kind of right (breathe before reading)
Most college kids are remarkably apathetic. The only issues they seem to care about are cultural issues. It makes "College liberalism" something completely different from proper American liberalism.

Take a trip to the college campuses. You'll see stupidity, most likely.

13. Did you protest in any "Anti-Iraq Invasion" Protest? Because if you didn't
then I've gotta say your response about "Apathetic Kids" seems to ring hollow. None of our kids here are going to be DRAFTED...so what's the risk? Bush fights his war on "Patriotic Zeal by kids in families who never though their kid would want to DIE for Rotten Cause...or from the "National Guard" which are filled with folks who PAID FOR THEIR EDUCATION signing up to SERVE AMERICA not some EMPEROR/DICTATOR who wants to RULE THE WORLD through NATION BUILDING AND SERVITUDE!

I was around for Vietnam...I know where this "crap" sold by people who will NEVER SERVE goes... :-(

15. Yes. And I did much more than protest
Trust me. I've been against this war since the start (when I was 16).

You're absolutely right on the crap they feed kids. It's not just Bush. The entertainment industry does a great job of glorifying war.

19. Jack Offerty is late to the party
trying to look like he is "leading" when he is not even "following"; just needs to get out of the way

Now if he said "where is CNN?" instead of "where are the people?" I'd give him some credit.

23. Would you rather
he was imitating O'Lielly for ratings? I think we need to acknowledge that he is at least on the right side now.

25. Jack Cafferty is not CNN
he does not make the decisions about what they put on the air.

You'd have to ask the managing editor of CNN. Or better yet, ask the army psyops unit that works with CNN.

31. In the streets doing WHAT? Waving banners? Chanting?
If large numbers of angry protestors hit the streets like he suggests, this admin. would probably just declare martial law. Can't we just storm the White House and evict the idiot?
