cnn breaking news: right after this commercial break..

[spanone]

i swear to god the female anchor said this....

kind of says it ALL about our media

the breaking news? 'we are hearing a little bit of criticism from speaker boehner'....that's a quote...........you can't make this shit up

evidently the speaker has written a letter to Obama, but the news is SO breaking 'rhianna or brianna?' whoever that is, is still reading it.

1. On CNN, everything is Breaking News...

Or at least it has been for the last few weeks.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

10. Breaking Wind with CNN.

Onion News does CNN better than CNN.

[Duer 157099]

11. I've noticed they flash that "Breaking News!" banner BEFORE commercials

now almost all of the time.

Speaks volumes about what they think is important. As if we didn't know.

[spanone]

13. it's showbiz baby!!!

[global1]

22. I Picked Up On That This Morning ......

and I was going to post the same. Seems like the breaking news is the commercial. LOL but sad

[emulatorloo]

30. They want so excited, you will sit thru the commercials.

It really is a disgusting ploy

32. Anyone else remember when "BREAKING NEWS" was only for major events?

Things like the president getting shot or an Oklahoma City-type bombing? Things important enough to actually interrupt regular programming for?

[malaise]

2. Getting up off the floor

:rofl:

[spanone]

3. i only turned to cnn so i didn't have to listen to forbes....i can't make this up!!! wish that i had

[malaise]

25. LOL

I can't watch them with the warmongering - watching a repeat match in the cricket world cup. Pakistan kicked my team out in the quarter finals.

[Sky Masterson]

4. Are you dissen My Girl Brooke Baldwin?

[Sky Masterson]

14. Erin Burnett is my true love..

She is gawdamn beautiful! I'm series!11!!!1!

[CTyankee]

18. She's smart as hell. Joe Scarborough doesn't even try to mess with her.

She's fast on her feet...grad of Williams College, one of the "little Ivies." That's a good school and devilishly hard to get into...

[Sky Masterson]

19. She is funny too

Very down to earth. I learn something from her everyday.Best part of morning Joe.
Her intellect makes her even more gorgeous to me. Think she'll marry me?

[Armstead]

23. She also seem surprisingly liberal for a CNBC type

I've heard her making points that surprised me with their progressive insight from one who spends their day with the Wallbots.

An she is a beauty in a real-person kind of way

[dipsydoodle]

5. Half the time its more like

breaking wind.

[The Wielding Truth]

7. it's like the food or safety warnings that they make you wait till 5 or 11.

:wow:...................... :banghead:

[Biker13]

31. Yes! That Drives Me Nuts!

I remember when they were recalling dog food, and they used it as a come on for the whole program! We were only informed of the brands during the last five minutes.

That's when I began using the internet for my main source of news.

Screw 'em!!

8. she inadvertantly allowed some breaking news....seems the President DID

keep congress in the loop....a conference call between bipartisan leaders before the attacks

[DJ13]

9. My favorite is the "Important information that can save your life! Right after this..."

[Ron Green]

12. "When news breaks....

...we'll fix it."

[TomClash]

15. "Breaking news" means "marketing"

How many times can I get the letters MSNBC, FOX or CNN (with ads) out there.

[spanone]

16. fuck you wolf blitzer... 'if you send american men off to war, you've got to tell them why'

their hypocrisy ala bu$h*/Obama is astounding....that's enough cnn for the year

[PCIntern]

24. "If you ahhhh, if you uhhh, send, send uhhh american uhh-men

off to uh, a uh war, ...

you get the drift...worst cadence in broadcasting...

[spanone]

26. he said 'americans want to know, and so do i'

[PCIntern]

28. He's uhhhh, not too,uhhhh, bright!

He couldn't make it on my local news program...

[liberal N proud]

17. Have to sink that hook

So you will sit on your couch through the messages from their masters.

[StarburstClock]

20. I can only watch the cartoonish display there for a few minutes

before they all make me sick with their lies and propaganda recitals. Everything is always moving in the background, animated for entertainment value like a Saturday morning cartoon.

[spanone]

21. i haven't watched it for a while....it's really gone faux

[zbdent]

27. IIRC ...

this will be in the transcripts ...

[Rex]

29. You have to understand that they are not really a news organization

as much as they are an infotainment outlet. Pretty worthless in any situation imo. Watch PBS or listen to NPR imo much better news without the lies and bullshit propaganda.
