CNN editorializing: "People deserve to know where their state senators are"

[itsrobert]

I thought CNN was suppose to only report the news and leave the editorializing to MSNBC and Fox?

2. CNN: The Other Fox "News" Channel.

3. But...but...but...CNN is the liberal channel.

I know it is, because conservatives tell me so all the time.

4. I would be a happy woman

if the right wing stooge who is my state senator left the Senate chambers for parts unknown.

5. McPravda is at its best, these days!

When you consider that many people are still influenced by corporate media and actually think it is legitimate, it is no wonder that our national opinions and results are influenced, and even ruled, by a powerful, wealthy corporatism that furthers the agenda of the oligarchs/plutocrats on their merry, Fascist march.

Our best chance at change is to simply start with countering the corporate media first by challenging it in any way possible. Meanwhile, utilize social media to question its legitimacy. I don't know if reform is possible when the media functions to serve in its own best interests, i.e., who owns the controlling shares. However, growing and supporting alternatives is extremely pro-active.

Then, we could possibly move on to the powers and rights invested in corporate entities and how they influence our system, culture and most importantly, our government.

8. Absolutely spot on, CNN! Bravo!

And workers deserve to have the contracts they negotiated through collective bargaining honored, not unilaterally changed at the whim of the executive. Right, CNN?

Ooh listen: Crickets!

9. Well the dems have spoken, they are doing their jobs by insuring democracy

Walker and his goons attempted to cram this disgust down the throats of Wisconsinites, and the senators choked on the tampon.

By denying the senate its quorum, the democrats have slowed down the process and created an opportunity for the People of Wisconsin to let their wishes be known. That is called fighting for democracy. The alternative is to agree to unconditional surrender.

The use of 'every tool available' isn't just for the hot-blooded party of No!
