This is not journalism, John King, and you damn well know it!

I am losing respect for you.

I was speechless and disgusted to hear, in response to the so very klassy Karl Rove (who, even my 15 year old son can see, is trying to demonize Joe Biden the way they did to Kerry and Gore, and every other prominent Democrat with the enthusiastic help of the M$M), calling Vice President Biden a "serial exaggerator", Dana Bash breathlessly proclaiming, "It will stick now, it's in the public lexicon."

So let me get this straight . . . the self-important serial exaggerating/lieing media, decreeing that, because proven over and over again serial liar Karl Rove has said Joe Biden is a serial exaggerator/liar, it's now a done deal? Really Dana?

HOW DARE THEY! These are fair and impartial journalists? Who the hell do they think they are???

No better than RW FOX, or supposed left-leaning MSNBC, or even tabloid journalists.

DO YOUR FUCKING JOBS AND REPORT THE DAMN FACTS!!!

Come on John, this isn't journalism and you know it.

1. Oddly, I watched CNN yesterday, and the "moderator" (young prettyboy black guy - forget his name)...
Edited on Sun Apr-12-09 01:15 PM by BlooInBloo
Was doing an astonishingly good job of calling bullshit on the "guest experts" (one of which was that Red State plagiarist guy, Ben SomethingOrOther).

They went through several topics over the course of an hour, and moderator guy wouldn't let much of anything thru, bullshit-wise.

Credit where credit is due.



EDIT: "young", not "you".

2. I'm not anti CNN
I think as far as cable news goes, while nowhere near actual journalism, they come the closest of cable, they're the most impartial, but it disturbs me when I see them do this tabloid gotcha shit.

6. I loved his truth piece on Cheney
called "Power Play". That's when I got to liking him, and then Mrs. Darth had a hissy fit on Blitzer over it. But he just doesn't come through interviewing thugs face to face. And now this gotcha shit.

7. More confirmation of the reason I don't watch CNN pundit shows.
Too much right wing propaganda allowed to flourish there.

10. There is a reason CNNs ratings are in the dump
Edited on Sun Apr-12-09 01:01 PM by Thrill
What was even more disgusting is trying to get a sitting general to criticize his Commander and Chief.
