Why is Faux the only station broadcasting news today?
Just saw Geraldo on Faux say that the Ayatollah has ordered the Iraqi Shia to stop the kidnapping. So his grand prediction was that the troubles in Iraq will soon stop. Meanwhile CNN was running a "People in the News" story about Billy Graham and MSNBC was showing a documentary on organ transplants! UGH! No wonder the American people are clueless about what's going on.

1. When Geraldo is on the air the other networks fold...
he's the world's most respected journalist - the Walter Cronkite of our times.

2. CNN talking news now
about a cease-fire tomorrow, and that fact that it appears that the WH has released PART of the PDB from August 2001. There's to be a statement from them soon.

3. CNN just showed the US hostage fuzzed out, CBC showed it clear

As soon as I saw the American hostage on CNN, his face was fuzzed out, so I flipped to CBC and it was NOT fuzzed out

I guess we don't have so much censorship up here ?

11. Pravda currently has more truth in it than the NYT and Washington Post.
Pravda in English is on the internet and has great articles about how badly Bush is running the military.

7. It's a real problem and something they need to address
seems to happen every weekend. CNN runs its tapes so they can empty the buildings and leave just the janitors there, meanwhile Faux coups everybody.
