Call CNN and complain, phone # 404 827 0234
Puh-lease call them and demand that they quit carrying water for Dubya. Most recently I saw them purposely confuse 2 questions in last week's gallup poll on Iraq.

In the Gallup poll a majority feel that the the war was NOT worth it. But by a majority of 4 points people still feel that going to war was the right thing to do. BTW both questions saw support fot the war drop.

But what did CNN's ticker say?

"WAS IT WORTH IT? A majority of Americans polled feel that going to war was the right thing to do."

ARG Then today they totally dismiss the Hersh report and basically call it lies.

Fuck those assholes! If we don't let them know how we feel they may never stop.

The # again is 404 827 0234.

Call from 8-5 otherwise you don't get to talk to a real person.

CNN's pro-Bush reporting on Seymour Hersh Iraq article


CNN Headline News 5 minutes ago:
--------------
paraphrase:


The White House is denouncing an article by Seymour Hersh as "hysterical" and "journalistic malpractice."

Hersh wrote that Donald Rumsfeld set into motion the chain of events which led to the Iraqi abuse scandal.

However, Hersh says that neither Bush nor Rumsfeld knew of the photographs.
--------------

CNN starts out with name-calling against Seymour Hersh, before even saying what his allegations are.

Then they end with misleadingly saying that Bush and Rumsfeld didn't know about the photographs (until they did-we all learned what we know sometime.) And even being being ignorant of the photos isn't the same as being ignorant of human rights violations.
