DAMN CNN... They cut Arianna off !!!
Edited on Thu Aug-14-03 01:16 PM by SoCalDem
Just as she's gettingquestions for the press

They cut back to the "prompter-readers" who just chuckled and kibbitzed while the picture was on, but no sound.. I wonder if Arianna will get a video of the whole thing up on her site??

It's disgusting.. Arnold rambles on for an HOUR the other day, and Arianna gets unceremoniously chuckled at and cut off.. :grr:

He gets FREE time and they will make her PAY for her time..

26. I saw/heard and then emailed CNN
I told them I didn't like Kyra Phillips personal commentary of "let the mud slinging begin", and keep the personal opinions to yourselves because I turne the channel every time I hear them. Also, they would do better to hire professional news people rather than those 'cheerleaders' they got on there now.

thanks for playing
If Katie Couric is a winger, then why does Ann Coulter hate her guts....

It was Kyra Phillips you saw on CNN, and Natalie Morales on MSNBC is a cheerleader for the media whores also.

5. CNN cut away from her questions from the media.
Edited on Thu Aug-14-03 01:19 PM by americanstranger
But boy, she got some good shots in during her remarks, tying Ahnold and Chimpy and Cheney and Kenny Boy and Wilson all together.

Nice job.

ON EDIT: The puppethead in question is Kyra Phillips - the lightest of all the CNN lightweights.

She's the one who pronounced the town 'Placentia' as 'placenta' for nearly an hour one day, until someone corrected her.

35. I don't think so but who knows?
:evilgrin:

Seems to me that everyone who's anyone is someone because they're related to some power player, writer, movie star, politician, etc...

Don't ask me to explain, I'm having a major Prozac day. :P

11. SO THIS IS HOW IT'S DONE!!!
They don't like what she's saying so the Mother FU KNOW THE REST, cuts her off, but when Arnie Boy babbles about how he's given his name to so many "noble" causes he gets all the damn coverage he wants. The Dem's got to get tough and take this RECALL DOWN, NOW!!!!

17. After they cut her off,
...the CNN guy started talking about Arianna not paying a lot of taxes. No comment on Bush/Enron/Lay/Arnold except saying it's mudslinging.

Pathetic!

16. we didn't
Edited on Thu Aug-14-03 01:26 PM by newsguyatl
cut her off, we just got out of the feed when she finished talking and started with the questions from reporters... trust me, i pushed for them to take it through the end and we did... they didn't want to take the whole thing, but did... they wanted to pull out and i said "no, no, this is great tv!!" and we stayed with it :-)

cnn took more than anyone else (except for maybe c-span) so something at least to be said for that...



she really nailed him didn't she?!?! woohoo.... i was smiling so big...

23. Bless your heart newsguy
My personal opinion (as if) is the only way American's will be able to take back our country is if the press starts doing their job. An informed public will kick the b*stards out if they know the truth.

I wish the talking heads would just read the telpromter and stop making personal comments and facial expressions. JUST THE FACTS, MA'AM!!

22. Ahhhhnold is the ANNOINTED one..
he will get all the free time he needs.. They took his SHIT-FOR-BRAINS movies off so they can cluck cluck about how "fair&balanced" they are, and yet they marginalize and ridicule Arianna... calling her "outspoken".. as in "STFU, Arianna.. We love Ahhnold"

31. Yesterday I read that they were not going to show his movies
during the campaign because of the equal time provision.. Too bad they threw out the fairness doctrine part though.. THAT'S the one we NEED.. That one would have prevented the rightwiing radio war.. For every right leaning station, there would havd HAD to be a left leaning one..

34. Cable can show his movies but regular TV can't show them
Also, Cable does not have to be fair & balanced in their Air time but regular TV has to.

Jan Leno the right wingnut is balancing his show out by having all of the other candidates on at one time. Doesn't he have to give all of the equal air time?

I'm not ready for Californians to accept a photo op candidate who is completely stagemanaged behind closed doors, who has people speaking for him.

To MSNBC Reporter: DO your jobs! Look into these meetings between Ken and Arnie, wuit looking like googlie eyed star struck people


She'll be on Buchanon & Press later

29. Arianna is great!
She cuts thru the bullshit and gets right into the heart of things. If more politicians were like Arianna we'd be better informed on the ISSUES that affect US and not on innuendo, puffery and plain ol b.s.

She's one of the most plain spoken upfront people out there today and we need to hear more from her and those like her.
