Bye CNN. No: FUCK OFF FINALLY CNN
i'm done. i know i know. you ALL have been telling me FOREVER but now its final

Bill Schneider from London talking about Tony Blair's "Iraq problem" (although he never actually SAID he "LIED") :eyes:

Schneider: Blair has a reelection problem that is even WORSE than "another politician" closer to home...... "(Bush right??? RIGHT???)

Schneider (continued): "The difference between BLAIR "misstating" about the Iraq War and OUR politician is that OUR Politician was lying about a PERSONAL MATTER. Of course, I'm talking about BILL CLINTON"

:puke:

FUCK YOU CNN. I AM OFFICIALLY DONE. DU was RIGHT and I was an IDIOT!!

you are OFF my TV. SUCK MY ASS CNN!

9. Catty Kay killed BBC for me
when she was traveling around with the Idiot team and her gushing reports told me she'd been converted to the cult.

She's just another empty headed, bottle blonde bimbo who is mouthing the corporate line, as far as I'm concerned.

I've turned ALL of them off. Life is too short to spend being lied to.

12. De acuerdo
I don't watch CNN anymore, not even for the scrolling sports scores. They have just become pathetic and pacifist, obsessed with runaway brides, LA freeway chases and anything that avoids tackling real issues. We don't have a BBC-type national news gathering organization in the so-called free-est nation on earth. We live in a corporatocrasy.

Dont worry Matcom it took the last election cycle for me to finally admit the whorish corruption in our cable media outlets. Though I suspected true news was dead as soon as they joined up for the embed process.

Stupid Fuckers are complicit in destroying our country.

The 9/11 Commission Report: Omissions and Distortions
David Ray Griffin
Description: David Ray Griffin takes a critical look at the official 9/11 Commission Report. Professor Griffin argues that "omissions and distortions" in the report amount to a cover-up by government officials and says that the available evidence suggests that the Bush administration was complicit in the 9/11 attacks.

Why isn't CNN reporting the fact that the Iraq war was being discussed with the lapdog in 200 and freakin 2?

I've been done with CNN for years now. My blood pressure thanks me.

Cheers to you!

Over the course of the last couple of weeks CNN has gotten incredibly bad/ugly/stupid, you name it. It can't be tolerated for more than a minute or two by any healthy, thinking, educated person.

It just makes me cry. CNN used to be so good, so long ago.

29. matcom, please tell this to Carville, "It's the corporate media, stupid!"
Edited on Tue May-03-05 04:02 PM by blm
He blames the Democrats for being out of touch with the American people, but, the truth is that they are so in touch with real working Americans that the GOP had to work for the last 2 decades to control the media through their corporate cronies just to control and corrupt the news that the American people heard each day.

GOP control over most of the media and most of the voting machines must be exposed.

CNN is the worst because it built its reputation as being hard news back when Ted Turner controlled it. Now, it is just a Public Relations Dept. for BushInc, owned and controlled by AOL and their Saudi dollars.

31. Congratulations
on seeing the light about TV "news." Personally, I stick with newspapers , the BBC, NPR, and the Internet (mostly newspaper sites, like NYTimes, WPost, LATimes etc) for my info. No, they're not perfect, but they at least present a diversity of opinion rather than just the pandering to the right that we seen cable news.

54. Me, too
I used to watch CSPAN's Washington Journal every morning. Without fail. No more. It's one thing to be confronted with an election which shows half of our voters care nothing about our country and our Constitution. It's another thing to listen to their moronic warmongering and American Taliban rants each day. I watch The Daily Show and read the NYT. I cancelled my TIME subscription after the Coulter cover.
Thank heavens for DU.
