CNN LIES...
I was driving behind a guy in a truck with "CNN Lies" on his bumper sticker. I was shocked and amazed. Plenty of conservatives and republicans in my town (Houston). But I couldn't help but wonder if this is a bumper sticker from the Clinton years and it's leftover from that time. Does anyone have any info on this. Imo, there should be bumper stickets that read "FOX Lies".

3. Could be either way
It's interesting that both liberals and hard-core conservatives are against expanding the media ownership rules--they both feel large corporate media interests would be biased against them! :silly:

4. I'm seeing more of this "strange bedfellows" type of thing
It seems that the people that still have some notion that the PEOPLE run the show, whether on the right or left, are getting more and more disturbed at the Corporate takeover. But then, it was all explained for us some 27 years ago in the movie "Network"

5. I sort of agree with him.
I can't watch CNN anymore. These people stopped being journalists a long time ago. They are more interested in gossip and satisfying their scott peterson/michael jackson fetishes.

It's a sad day when I get more informative commentary from the Daily Show and the Internet than CNN.

7. No, it's because Republicans have a thing about CNN.
They call it the Clinton News Network.

14. I guess I worded my statement wrong.
I was just pointing out that here in Houston there are plenty of conservatives and if this was a liberal in front of me, I was shocked.

I was describing what kind of vehicle the guy was driving. Had it been a car I would have said car. The reason I thought he may be a repuglican is because during the Clinton years, they called CNN the Clinton News Network and this sticker may have derived from that.

9. Why would it matter? They lied during the Clinton years.
They also played every bit of the Clinton bashing that they could in every way with very little real news being filtered through.

10. Poor CNN
We Evil DUers think they lie.

The Freepers think they lie.

Of course, we're right and they're wrong.

If you can figure that out, you're good.

16. Darryl Issa just called CNN the Clinton Network on Bill Maher
The CONs are on an anti-CNN bandwagon for some reason. I guess they must have told the truth about something.

18. Someone should be making them
Someone should be mass producing these bumper stickers because they could make a mint off of them.

20. They All Lie........

The entire media lies, it's called corporate propaganda.

The only real media left is Bill Moyers, the rest of them are corporate stooges.

The media of the people is now on the internet, DU.com, buzzflash.com, etc.
