Campbell Brown expected to join CNN
Announcement to come shortly, I understand. If this is true, this is just as bad a hiring Glenn Beck. In fact, she isn't a wannabe, she is a real, vested Bushie!

WTF is CNN trying to do over there?

7. Yep...a bastard prick
she married Daniel Samuel Senor (born 1971), a Republican consultant
Dan Senor worked for the Carlyle Group from 2001-2003. He also held a number of posts in the office of former Senator Spencer Abraham, R-MI.

Senor served as a Senior Advisor to then-Presidential Envoy L. Paul Bremer III, Administrator of the Coalition Provisional Authority. Senor traveled to Baghdad in mid-April in one of the first civilian convoys to enter Iraq following the fall of the former regime. He advised Amb. Bremer on a variety of policy and communications issues. During Operation Iraqi Freedom, Senor was based at Centcom Headquarters in Qatar, where he was Director of the Coalition Information Center. [

12. You mean billions right?
The Carlyle group is the one that will benefit from the economic downturn.

4. She's a total fascist tool, so she's a perfect fit for CNN. House of Saud-House of Bush control CNN.
They have for years now.

5. CNN is "gone" and has been for a very long time.
Edited on Fri Jun-15-07 01:43 PM by TWriterD
It's all Corporate Media - whether networks, Faux, CNN, or MSNBC. Speaking of Faux and MSNBC, has anyone come across any insightful threads about the bullshit feud between the two? I'll believe Olbermann v. O'Lielly, but Scarborough and Abrams jumping on the bandwagon are a bit much. They must sit around smoking cigars, knocking back the finest single malt, and laugh all the way to the bank.

10. No surprises here
Jon Klein has been trying his best for years (at least it appears that way) to lose the #2 cable news slot. Yes, indeed "the most trusted name in news."

9. cnn is attempting to emulate faux news and steal their minion zombies......
cnn must have figured out that faux news watchers are mesmerized by the propaganda and watch 24/7. cnn doesn't care WHO is watching, just as long as they are watching. cnn must be moving toward all neocon, all the time fake propaganda news reporting. There is an election to be won in 2008 and corporate america has the full court press on.

16. BushInc has been using CNN for their real propaganda for years while FOX is just
a red meat diversionary vehicle.

14. I would have guessed as much,watching her "report"
with her snarky style and rolled eyes-she has the same holier-than-thou affect that most of the neocons in my area have.I disliked her the first time I saw her.Now I know why.

17. Here's what I sent CNN on the 'contact us' part of their website...
The addition of Neocon hack pseudo-reporter, Campbell Brown to CNN is the coffin nail for my viewership. In my analysis, CNN is the new Fox News Network. If the public wanted more crazy batshit right-wing/neocon talking points, they'd tune in to Fox. She's no journalist, rather a mouthpiece for the right wing. Her husband is also a neocon clown who's a regular on Faux News. You've lost me as a viewer.
P.S. I'll be contacting a few of your high-ticket advertisers to register my concern at the lack of balance at CNN.
