CNN apologizing for being too harsh to politicians?

[montana500]

did I hear that right? White House complaining to CNN, and CNN apologizing?

[KyndCulture]

1. Now is NOT the time to turn into crybaby suckups... omg.nt

[Tace]

2. HA HA HA HA HA...

Too bad White House. Get real.

[Raster]

3. And here I thought they grew a spine. Guess not, eh?

4. CNN didn't apologize. They were just reporting that the gov't

complained about the media were being mean to them and sympathizing too much with the victims. But no apologies from CNN.

[indie_voter]

5. Aaron Brown almost laughed at the complaint

Said the first heartbeat is felt for the victims, then showed more horrible scenes.

There was no apology from him.

7. Good.

[NYCGirl]

13. Jesus, how dare the media sympathize with those poor people who are,

thanks to the incredible incompetence of this administration, victims.

:sarcasm:

[wisteria]

6. They didn't apologize! The said stranded people more

important now and deserve more attention then the government.

8. Dear Mr. President ...

Fuck you.

9. Good for CNN. what is Faux news doing about this coverage

I wouldn't dare watch them. Probably trying to say al quida might have planted bombs in the levees or maybe even SADDAM!

[VADem11]

10. No

I haven't seen or heard that at all.

11. This is kind of a backhand slap

That Anderson Cooper (?)fellow really gave Sen Landrieu the blues for praising the " purported " heroes of the hour, and not answering question about the massive failure of government to do their job. It was clearly a bad moment for the " sometimes " Democratic Senator from La.
The White House is trying to spin this as an attempt by the media to hurt the efforts.

DISINFORMATION !!

[DemsUnited]

12. NO APOLOGY FROM CNN!!! Aaron Brown & WH correspondent both

said that OBVIOUSLY the first concern is for the victims and "we'll worry about the politicians later". That is a direct quote and the sarcasm of both men was obvious.

[applegrove]

14. "Worry about the bureaucrats later". n/t

[DemsUnited]

16. Yup, I am corrected. They said bureaucrats, not politicians, giving the

whining weenies exactly the label they deserve.

[Eloriel]

18. Good God, they're not even as GOOD as bureaucrats

I'd LOVE a few honest-to-God bureaucrats.

[katinmn]

15. Good. Glad they are finally growing some spine.

[ThoughtCriminal]

17. Making the WH complaint public seems to me to be a big

FU back at Rove.

[EC]

20. Yep, it made the administration look whiny

and showed that they considered their reputations more important than the death of Americans by incompetance...

[brentspeak]

19. What exactly did the White House say?

I want to read whatever complaint they delivered to CNN. Their feelings are hurt when they should be more concerned about dealing with the disaster? These are the "strong" people the Freepers praise as leaders? Wimps, more like it.
