Piss on CNN
They just said that there were war protests around the globe, but barely a ripple in the US!

25. Actually, FOX is "bought and paid for". FOX should be attacked,...
,...by any decent human being.

TAKE OUT "FOX",....and you will strengthen all those who have something FOX lacks,...a seed of integrity.

2. I just peed on my tv
and it sparked a bit....you didn't mean that literally did you?

Passed by a 'protest' here in Pittsburgh. It was pretty pathetic actually. Maybe 20 people tops. Very depressing. I would have joined them but I had to get my 5 month old home for her nap.

8. Thanks, Ravenseye!
Piss all over it again.

I'm so mad because my cousin called me from San Francisco a couple of hours ago and said the protest was huge! She was still there and said that even the policeman said the number was large. :grr: She suggested that I tune in to TV because she thought it would get coverage. I wouldn't have tried CNN unless she suggested it.

6. sorry, i don't have any. no camera, poor college student.
but i saw plenty of people taking pics. i'm sure we'll have some. we completely filled a decently sized church, and lots of people didn't even go to that part.

4. I heard her to, it is why I logged on!
We just got in from the Portland protest. I have no way of estimating the number of people, but it was pretty large.

I'm going to wait for reports from other cities where I know had large demonstrations, & then I will write to media matters. I don't have a digital camera, so I won't be able to post pictures, which is what will show her (the reporter) for the big fat liar that she is.

Do you know the reports name??

15. I didn't know that.
Thanks for the info.

Now I remember why I don't watch CNN. I only get mad or frustrated.

16. Oh Sad...She was one of the all too few who I thought were at least
somewhat objective. I've stopped watching as much CNN as I used to after the election.

21. Carol Lin is horrible.
Edited on Sat Mar-19-05 09:58 PM by ocelot
Her "coverage" of the huge protest march in NYC last summer during the GOP convention included a remark to this effect: "I know people have the right to protest, but sometimes it's hard to take it seriously." I am not making this up; I nearly threw a shoe through my teevee. Carol Lin is one of the very worst whores on CNN -- and that's saying something, considering that CNN has become nothing more than a big, sleazy media brothel.

24. Thanks for the info...I've had suspicions, but unless you watch/listen
regularly, you're apt to brush things off, or just not 'hear' it...Denial. Oh well, truth is always enlightening.

7. I just wrote them and asked them if they can't add?
The USA covers a massive land mass and the least these dumb fecks could do is add the totals up from every city. Oh, I forgot, these are Bushco people, right? They can't add!!!!

18. Since CNN has help-wanted ads only on right wing sites for new interns
of course they would downplay any news which does not put Bush in a good light.
