CNN is so obvious..."both sides are politicizing the violence toward members of Congress"
Edited on Fri Mar-26-10 03:19 PM by Jennicut
One of their talking heads just said that a few minutes ago. The poor Republicans cannot ever be criticized without the Dems being complicit in it too, right? I hope they keep losing more viewers because they suck. They are worse then Faux in that they PRETEND to have no bias.

1. I have seen no reputable cases of violence against Republicans.
Cantor's was proven to be false.

6. It was reported by Dana Bash that Cantor had threatening emails and that she read them.
But the emails would no be coming if the liberals did not feel threatened in the first place. Cantor starts the fire then runs around screaming about it when he can't put it out.

16. Nope. Said Cantor did not want them read to the public.
Weird, huh?

3. I haven't watched CNN since the 1st Gulf War.
That was new propaganda.

17. I think you're the only person that understands what the remark meant.
I quite agree with you, BTW.

9. Yeah right. How hard would it be to get a couple yokels
to go throw bricks through a Republican office window? Same with the phone calls and emails. The Republicans may not have done all of those themselves but they sure could have. I hope someone gets caught or blows the whistle. All we need is one of those incidents to be proven to be phony.

10. It's really a shame to see them sink so low.
I think they are trying to pick up a certain portion of Fox people that may becoming wise to the outright lies they (FOX)tells but want to hear it put another way.
I think they're called "right leaning independents."

:evilfrown:

I posted this a few days ago about the same thing.

12. Yes...they have sucked for quite awhile.
I travel fairly often and hate it when I find out the hotel only carries CNN, which is frequently the case....

I'm going to do what I've seen a couple other DUers here do: Before I book a hotel, ask them if they carry MSNBC...If they don't, I'll find another that does, and tell the original hotel why I won't stay with them.

Why don't we all do this, those of us who travel on a frequent, or even semi-frequent basis?

It might seem a small "project", so to speak, but some of the best projects are.

14. CNN and Fox are the same now
no daylight between them in real terms. CNN is less of a carnival fun house, that's it.

19. I can't see how you would speak about political violence without it being somewhat politicized?
I mean you talk about the act, who did it if you know, who the recipient is, the most likely reason it was done, you have to get into the politics of it, or at least make some statements from which some political inferences can be taken?

22. They also equate
Olbermann and Maddow with Beck and Limbaugh. Which is utterly fucking ridiculous. CNN sucks all the way.
