CNN and FOX News Boadcasting Exact Same Headline
Edited on Sat Dec-10-05 07:14 PM by Raydawg1234
Both Fox and CNN are brodcasting the same story at the same time with the exact same title at the bottom of the screen: Bird Flu Fears

I find it interesting that the networks are exactly miroring each other!

1. Oh, for the day when ...

"BUSH INDICTED ON CHARGES OF WAR CRIMES, TREASON ..."
Film at 11:00 p.m.!

19. Film at 11:00 pm? Wow, NanceGreggs, you're dating yourself!
Edited on Sat Dec-10-05 09:32 PM by Radio_Lady
That's what they used to say in the 1950s when I was on TV! This is me in my first TV job -- co-host on live children's TV show aired from 5PM to 6PM weekdays. We used to have an announcer who would promise the upcoming news with "FILM at 6 and 11"... and wow, that's a long time ago!

20. Anyone realize that we have "The Situation Room" on one cable channel
and "The Situation" on another? I thought this was pretty strange...

Leslie "Wolf" Blitzer (old dude on one)

Tucker (rhymes with Scooter) Carlson (young dude on the other)

4. Bird flu
What a joke. How many people have been afflicted with bird flu so far?

They are trying so hard to distract us.

9. That reminds me ........
Shouldn't they be whipping out the "shark attack" stories pretty soon?

Some cute little surfer chick with half her body bitten away, but she still loves her organized religion?

12. Or maybe they will put it in the punch bowl at the Christmas party...
Edited on Sat Dec-10-05 07:29 PM by Hubert Flottz
and start to do some serious depopulating of the planet, like the old guard GOPers have wanted to do for 75 years. I rule nothing out.

5. They haven't been competitve for years. Their hosts cross over and
are guests on each others shows every week. It's to be expected when you have a Republican Party TV family working for you. GE, Time-Warner, Murdoch, etc.

If Rumsfeld retires he needs to pump up his vaccine business.

10. Well since Fox News gets higher ratings...

13. I am glad you wrote this. I have wondered for years why I am
when I buy my satellite, CNN/Fox News is offered as a package and MSNBC is a stand alone.

16. I've seen CNN and MSNBC do "Lock Step" recently also...
I don't watch Fox...so I wouldn't know about that...but when MSNBC/CNN are Lockstep one does begin to understand what's going on in America these days. No Competition? Isn't that what our "Capitalist System" is supposed to be about? COMPETITION? :eyes:

18. Time for Some DU investigative journalism
Edited on Sat Dec-10-05 09:43 PM by Raydawg1234
Maybe there's a link between the hype of the "Bird Flu" Craze and The sale of the drug TAMI-FLU. It would be interesting to see if anyone can get a list of shareholders of the Hoffmann-La Roche Company, which makes tami-flu. We could then see if any of them are tied to the media or the Bush admin.

If this were true it would be an example of Corporatism at it's finest.

21. They musn't even be bothering to filter the fear-mongering propaganda
from Rove's office anymore...comes direct to the screen now. How many have died from the dreaded Bird flu epidemic...are we up to 70 world-wide yet over 3-4 months?
