CNN is becoming the "suspicious package" network
They are cutting away from their inane coverage of the White House incident to cover another incident of a suspicious package in CA.

A quick run through of the other cable news networks shows that Rove's daily news coverage agenda was received by the networks and is being implemented. ALL THREE are banging incessantly on the "Be Afraid" message toady.

I know now what it must have been like to live in Stalinist Russia and watch their fake news.

9. CNN Terror Alert: Spoiled Navy Bean Soup
The Congressional dining room was evacuated when a suspicious substance was cited coming from the kitchen.

Sheesh.

John King appeared to be laughing at this thing saying "these things happen every day". But what else does CNN have to cover? But then it's cheap programming..."news" that just happens where their cameras do. This isn't just poor "journalism"...it's manufacturing a story.

10. the suspicious package is actually the media
If we examine who owns what, we see a pattern, and that pattern is the path to one, prolly Rupert Murdock in the end. The telecommunication act of 1996 gave the media the ability to buy up all the other media. Owners can no own multiple channels in the same area and there is no limit to how many station one person can own.

THE MEDIA IS A BUNCH OF MONOPOLY'S NOW!

We as consumers still have a choice still though, WE CAN TURN OF THE TV!

Thank your senators and congressmen for a job well done, hope those large bank accounts where worth it!
