Unlike Liberal Bloggers, CNN Doesn't Avoid The Hard News
And to think some people say CNN doesn't really go after the real news stories impacting our nation… With the United States locked in a pointless war, our soldiers accused of atrocities in Iraq, deadly anti-American protests in Kabul, the Treasury Secretary resigning, a president 71 percent of Americans don't like, the biggest budget deficit in U.S. history, seven million more Americans without health insurance since 2000, a minimum wage that hasn't been raised in a decade and a massive earthquake in Indonesia, what does CNN.com have as its banner headline as of high-noon (EDT) today?

"

Good grief. I can't take this any longer. I think I need to go to Las Vegas next week, drink too much and hang out with a bunch of liberal bloggers and politicians.

1. CNN is as naked as can be in it's role as mass distractor.
Fox delivers the unvarnished propaganda and CNN and MSNBC deliver the subtle psychological FEAR message and unabashed meaningless distraction. A three step dance of mind control.
