Both CNN & Fox News using Ruppert Murdoch's "SKY NEWS" all DAY for TERRA!
It's amazing to me that CNN is now using SKY NEWS rather than BBC for their coverage of their latest "Terra" ramp up.

Is Time-Warner hoping that Murdoch will bid for them along with the Wall Stree Journal? :shrug:

Why is CNN devoting all day to this when the "word is" from their reporter Ed Henry that Bush is taking a calm approach to this, not increasing our own "TERRA ALERT" until we have more info...and that Bush is being briefed constantly but has "not placed a call to incoming British PM Gordon Browen" feeling that he wants to get more information about the situation before he does this.

Is Chimpy dissing Gordon Brown? Have his "handlers" told him not to "Cry Wolf" another time because it will fall flat on American's ears who hate him (according to latest polls).

What's going on that all our Cables are CRAZY over "TERRA ATTACK" and the little Chimp and Handlers tell him to "lie low...lie low..."

8. They used ITN earlier today, but this afternoon about
2:00 pm CDT, I noticed they had switched to Sky News.

That's when I switched the TV off.

2. BBC is also reporting the potential seriousness of it. Should they ignore it?

do you expect them NOT to report it?

The events in the past two days are out of the ordinary, of course they will report it, and even over-react, because that is what they do

What should upset people more, is not this, but the over-coverage of paris hilton, or some missing white girl

This is a real story which should be covered. Iraq is also a real story, and is hardly covered.

6. It's kind of strange that our "Terra P-Resident" doesn't take it seriously needing more info
according to CNN's Brian Williams and NBC's Nightly News. :shrug:

All Day CNN showed burning vehicles over and over... Does it take that long to put out a fire...how could it burn for 5 or more hours? Sky News is what's the attribution. I've never seen "Sky News" as the ULTIMATE SOURCE for video on CNN...but maybe I missed it before.

12. You have no argument from me there on sky news. I don't watch cable news
and most of my news is international sources or reading

CNN, faux and the rest of the are in the entertainment tabloid business

My only comment was that the incidents yesterday and today are newsworthy

5. Amazed at CNN?
There is absolutely NOTHING that should amaze an attentive person about CNN anymore -or any of the broadcast networks, either.

7. TODAY's Coverage confirms exactly what you say! Jumped Shark? OTT?
Is our media more interested in WAR 24/7 than even our P-Resident's HANDLERS these days? :eyes:
