ALERT-WRITE CNN-MAJOR OUTRAGE just occurred on CNN |
|
I had it turned onto CNN to watch some of their pre-debate coverage and Kitty Pilgrim is filling in for Lou Dobbs tonight on Lou Dobbs and she said "Senate democrats are offering their own economic plan tonight in an obvious attempt to put their own partisan interests above those of the middle class" and in the lead to the main story after the theme music said "they are obviously on a collision course with the american people who so desperately need this plan" or something very close to those words.
This is an outrage! Flood CNN with e-mails. Let's make sure this republican hack never anchors on CNN again. I have never ever seen such partisan outrage and I don't usually get so outraged by media bias but this is an unadulterated outrage. I am livid!
You should be too. Write CNN when you can!

1. That's pretty ridiculous and overt. Not even close to actual journalism. |

2. What the Senate Dems want to do is put back the extension of unemployment benefits |
|

and an increase in food stamps. Pretty partisan I'd say. You know the middle class has no use for a unemployment benefits and food stamps during an economic turn down. :sarcasm:

5. Gee, the Dobbs Show is really screwing up lately! I just sent them |
|
an email yesterday about the spot they had about the FDA. The reporter said "The FDA workers haven't gotten a raise ince 1988!" That sure didn't sound right to me, so I looked it up. I sent them a link to a Washington Post article about the COLA raises they get every year, and also mentioned how the Chairman of the FDA has received over $150,000 in bonuses in the last 2 years, and each of the employees received bonusus at a minimum of $3,000.
NOW I have to email them AGAIN! Two days in a row! I can't blame Lou for this one today though if he wasn't even there. I feel yesterday he should have questioned his reporter because that didn't sound right!

9. Actually that's not "Republicanism" |
|
