Is CNN competing w/ Fox for the same |
|
audience ?
I just watched the last 45 mins of AC360 and it was nothing but an Obama/HCR bashing fest. Were it not for Paul Begala meekly adding some truths to the discussion, it could easily been a duplicate of one of Foxes phoney panel discussions.
I guess CNN isn't even trying to hide their true stripes these days. :evilfrown:

The actual objective news is conspicuous by its absence.

4. Yep....A bunch of pompous shit coming out of AC360's mouth. |
|
I'd rather watch Rachel twice than watch Anderson Cooper twice. He just seems like he doesn't give a f*ck about anything except for what he decides is important. They are trying to gin up a drama for the reconciliation bill procedure....
They can't ever say what the bill is actually about; mention the student loans or anthing. Instead, his panel is into the politics of it, as though this really is a game....meanwhile influencing at least 1 million people a day.
I fucking hate the media, and there is not one personality on CNN that I remotely like as a person. They just seem so authoritarian and arrogant.

I sort of stumbled over there (CNN) out of curiosity of how they'd present the HCR passage. I knew it wouldn't have the same POV as MSNBC but I never expected what I saw.
The media is more dangerous to America than any other force. :evilfrown:

6. You know what. .I thought exactly the same thing! |

I was really surprised to hear so much negativity from CNN! So much so that I decided I needed some Olbermann and Maddow therapy!

9. They were also pushing a pre-HCR passage poll... |
|
...with Obama's numbers at 46 percent approval.
How wildly disingenuous...but it helped them pump their narrative.
Makes ya puke, doesn't it?:puke:
