2. CNN is an avid supporter of the Tea Party. |
|
Wolf is a CBN flunky and as far away from a real journalist as a person can get!
CNN/Foxnews - avid supporters of the Tea Party.

3. they have sponsored the right wing for a long time |

except, they keep the sponsorship hum and pretend they are showing people in America news. Sad, they will never be FOX, but man do they try.

5. I stopped watching CNN years ago |
|
They are nothing more than Faux Lite. I watch MSNBC "news". Best news is on the Net, not ANY of these talking head shows.

6. It's where the attention seems to be right now: the RNC freakshow. |
|
Wolf requires alot of attention.
Plus, this is Ted Turner's way of stealing tea party thunder and viewers from his old rival, Murdoch. Maybe he figures Murdoch is going down, so, it's time to lure his viewers away.

7. Don't worry; in five or six years, CNN will cop to what an astroturf org the Tea Party is |
|
Why, just this week, Bill Keller of the New York Times admitted in a column that it appears that the casus belli for invading Iraq was a tissue of lies, now so transparent that a 4-year-old could see through it. At the time, of course, the Times was a bellicose as anyone, and particularly on the lookout for any incipient signs of insufficient war mongering from anyone. But nowadays? Hey, all the Smart People were fooled back in the day; how could the Times have possibly known it was being fed a line by the Bush administration? Nobody else was calling the Bush administration out, either. (Unless you count a bunch of dirty fucking hippies, which the Times certainly does not.)
Years from now, CNN will have convinced itself that it may have been wrong about the Tea Baggers, but since it was for all the right reasons, their oversights are excused.
Ooops, I should have put ***SPOILER ALERT*** ahead of that last sentence.
