Hey when did this happen?
Edited on Sat May-19-07 06:28 PM by senseandsensibility
I haven't watched CNN in four years. But I was channel surfing and came across a show called This Week In Iraq (I think). It's all doom and gloom. It's on now on the West Coast if you want to check it out.

Don't tell me that CNN isn't cheer leading anymore. What's next? Realistic analysis from FAUX?

Unfortunately, CNN has lost all credibility with me forever, and even though their coverage seemed reasonable at this very late date, I can't watch them. I will continue my boycott.

I suppose I am just shocked that they at some point apparently regurgitated some of the kool-aid.

1. Corporate-owned news outlets lost credibility in my book years ago
The big corporate networks that broadcast over the air, as opposed to cable broadcasts, should have their broadcast licenses revoked and the alloted airspace given over to new corporations or to the respective workers at these networks reorganized into a news co-ops.
