Turn Off CNN!

[JeffersonChick]

First, they avoided coverage of the Midwest protests. And now, I just saw them air Karl Rove's Crossroads GPS anti-union ad. WTF? I'd always thought that CNN was the most non-partisan. When did they move to the dark side? :(

[Balbus]

1. No.

[bluecoat_fan]

2. CNN sucks

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

3. CNN is not non-partisan; it's pro-corporate.

And it's happy to take corporate money to air anti-union advertising.

4. BRUSH YOUR TEETH!

Seriously.

[Swede]

5. No

[msongs]

7. They are only as liberal as their corporate owners.

Your not being informed, your being conditioned,

8. Rove's Money Is Very Green...

I jetisoned Chicken Noodle News years ago cause it became a joke of a news channel. However, those GPS ads are paid for...the way Rove and the Kochroaches astroturf their lies. CNN loves that kind of money...as do other networks. Then I also would expect that they would run an ad from MoveOn or a progressive group that also buys the time...

9. CNN doesn't know what it wants to be so it attacks both sides as if they're both equally dumb.

11. Jeopardy is on here. nt

13. By non-partisan I meant "just the facts, ma'am"

No opinions. Well, their (lack of) coverage, and that ad, speaks for itself.

Pfft.. and conservatives call CNN "liberal".

[GoCubsGo]

14. It went downhill after Ted Turner gave up control.

Wish he could get it back. It was a pretty good network at one time. Now, not so much.

[godai]

15. No. Turn off MSNBC. They let KO go.

Actually, maybe that's a good thing. I look forward to watching KO on Current.

[Mojeoux]

16. Soon this will be MOOT for the weekend. CNN and MSNBC turn into Pumpkins at 7 PM

Right now, Their Tsunami reports are not repeats.

[gateley]

17. They need to take advertising dollars, it's as simple as that. But I don't think

they've been non-partisan for a long time. Well, maybe they're technically non-partisan, but their news "coverage" seems slanted toward the Right, IMO.

18. CNN CORPORATION

CNN only emphasizes stories that involve:

(1)Racism
(2)Tea party events
(3)Fox propaganda rethreads
(4)International upheavals/disasters

If none of those concern you, CNN has nothing for you...

19. Already turned them off, thanks, didn't see the ad, but

anyone who runs the ad of a war criminal should be boycotted.

Too bad so many don't care that we have war criminals in this country being treated like gods because they are willing to hand over some of their blood-soaked money.

Shame on CNN. I know, they have none, none of them do.

Imagine if we had news orgs that actually had principles and morals?

When Karl Rove calls, such an entity would simply say 'no, we don't do business with war criminals' and then they would report on the fact that the little shit had the gall to think that they would ever touch his blood money.

After which they would thank him for reminding them and run a couple of hours of specials on the crimes he has committed but has not yet been held accountable for.

What a different country it would be.

[Kurovski]

20. I turned them off over three years ago. But thank you for spreading the news

I know someone who likes to watch because they believe them to be "fair" and air all sides. They do not. They do as they are told, like just about all the rest.

[Michigan-Arizona]

21. Already did ages ago n/t

[Carolina]

22. turned 'em off ages ago
