CNN is not helping
When the headline on their FRONT PAGE says "Why Muslims are still mad at America" I have to believe that CNN is just about as stupid they can get. This kind of shit does not help matters. What the hell are they thinking?

(The following URL is to the story, not the front page, because I'm sure they'll update their front page eventually. But this is the story that is there right now, and it pissed me off.)

1. CNN has FOX envy. But a bite from a FOX could cause rabies and foaming at the mouth.

2. Key people, as at most places, have the day off. Tomorrow will
be telling, starting with MSNBC early in the a.m. I'll see how long I can stay with it. Betcha they'll be "upset" about Hoffa..Gawd I hope so...

5. You mean the orgy that lasts from 9/11 of a given year through 9/10 of the next?
Oh yeah, I forgot!

6. Why are you surprised? CNN has never helped.
CNN spreads almost as much misinformation as FOX.

9. I guess I'm not too surprised...
It just seemed so blatant! So "in your face"! Who was it that said (and I paraphrase) "No matter how often I think we've gone as low as we can go, it's never enough?"

10. This is the channel where Anderson Cooper offered the false equivalency of
"The negative feedback we (CNN) gets from conservatives & liberals is almost equal, therefore, we are doing a good job."

7. CNN only helps that hand that directs it, i.e., Time-Warner Corporation!

8. CNN also has Blitzer who used to work for the 700 Club news division.

He has close ties to Pat Robertson.

This is why I don't watch CNN.

11. Where have you been? It's their job to not help
Seriously, they are at best only marginally better than fox and sometimes the margin is microscopic.

Plus their on-air "talent" is about the sorriest lot of dullards you'll find on any TV network.

Here's a shot of their star performer in action on jeopardy:

12. They are OWNED BY A CORPORATION.
as well as all the other media outlets.

The media is controlled by entities with an agenda. They have skin in the game now, and the GOP best serves their interests.

This should never have been allowed to happen.
