Why do the hacks on CNN sound so upset that the Chinese

heard pings and their air force spotted several objects in the general area.
Who fucking cares whether Australia, Malaysia or China finds the aircraft and the bodies of human beings.

Is everything a race about superiority?

Ah fuck CNN! I hope this is a real breakthrough.

One major change since this was printed is that Great Britain has sent a submarine

Instead of the Malaysian Airline Crash channel, they'll have to go back to being a boring news channel, and their ratings will drop.

during that whole "fiscal cliff" crisis a while back.

When every fifth sentence contained the phrase "fiscal cliff".


It really got nauseating.

CNN used to be on during the day as sort of background noise (for Mr Pipi...I can deal with silence). Now we turn the radio on instead.

I look forward each day for the 1 or 2 Joey Scar threads lamenting yet again what an ass he is. Thanks so much for those who watch it because it enables some here to enjoy the high/low lights of each day. Speaking of Mourning Jo, please note that contained in all thread comments about him or his "show" are ALWAYS about 30-40% people here mentioning dead interns, sharp desks or her actual name. This shows me that if this asshole EVERY thinks he should run for public office again he will HAVE to deal with this issue.

Don't we do the same thing for MTP and talking about how bad Stretch is and how Raquel would be so much better... Every week.

These type of threads are more fun for me here on DU than yet another "Obama actually sucks" thread...

I stopped taking them seriously a very long time ago. I only watch them if POTUS has a speech or something similar.

It is a shame so many people watch it..the ratings did go up...even with all the supernatural,
and the endless BREAKING NEWS that was not breaking news.

I read one critical OP recently where he mentions how CNN adds the world 'special' to the
investigations of the plane. The author asked, special? as opposed to what?

LOL

establishment of the Telecommunications Act...corporate shit for ratings...integrity be damned.

journalists with them. Then they were annoyed that the Chinese relayed their finds to their government first (the US would do the same and so would the Australians).

All of the reporting is just gov't statements.

Their is no way to investigate any of the claims or assertions. Their really are no facts yet.

And if rolls Royce had tossed that little nugget to the WSJ, who knows what the story would be by now.
