DAMN CNN TO HELL: Calling Reid's strategy "Political Theater"/"Grandstanding"
The news coverage is disgusting.

How about TAKING A STAND FOR AMERICA, or FORCING REPUBLICANS TO SUPPORT THE TROOPS. But NOooooo, they can't do that! That wouldn't be FAIR!!!1!

2. When CNN hired Glenn Beck
They laid their agenda bare. They are competing for the flatearth folks with Faux. Tells you all you need to know, so why even bother with them?

11. My husband TiVos the nightly news on BBC America.
It's pretty good and very interesting to hear a fresh perspective--and NO bias!

4. when they hired gb
they might just as well have said it's ok to play out a diaper fetish with hookers but not ok to have a committed lifetime relationship with someone you love if you happen to have the same type of private parts...

oh, wait...

8. I would like to know as well
Was the term used by Blitzer himself? An official CNN reporter? The news ticker? Or was it one of his wingnutty guests?

7. And Yet You Continue To Watch!
If it's Tuesday, it must be more people from DU complaining about the SPIN they saw on CORPORATE WHORE MEDIA.

Different day, same BULLSHIT!!

TURN THE FUCKING CHANNEL!!! GO OUTSIDE AND SMELL THE FRESH AIR!!

So long as you watch their GARBAGE, they couldn't care less. If enough people IGNORED them, they MIGHT, but probably still wouldn't, get the hint.

16. Excellent!!
Unlike those here who claim, "I watch because I want to see what they're saying," I am willing to bet you don't feel like you missed anything important.

Do you miss the SPIN & "liberal media bias?"
