| Have you ever noticed that CNN's "liberal" commentators |
|
always trash Democrats. Geez, they had some dolly mae, whose name escapes me right now, on Wolfie's show. All she did was trash Howard Dean saying he was toast, all the things he should've done, blah, blah, blah. Did she go to Donna Braziles's school to make liberals look bad?
With friends like these, who needs enemies.

| 1. You can hear the disgust when Bill Schneider pronounces "Democrats" |
|
I am usually at the gym when Inside Politics is on and have to restrain myself from yelling at the TV in public. How does a crank like him become a "Senior Political Analyst" anyway?

| 8. Criticism is one thing, pointing out a flaw if it's balanced is okay. |
|
As I write this it has been a constant Dean bash on CNN this morning. Of course the shrubsters gets a pass as usual. The clincher was that Dean's temper wouldn't be a good thing for dealing with foreign policy.
HELLOOO! Shouldn't, the 'axis of evil' speech and the 'bring em on' commentary be mentioned, if reporting were really fair and balanced not to mention the freedom fries insult to the French and so many other foreign policy gaffs by the shrubster that has made every American a target today.
This post isn't about Dean's shortcomings. It's about Dean being Clintonized. Instead of his penis though it's about his 'temper'.

| 4. There ARE no liberal commentators - only neutrals and repukes |
|
"Liberal commentators" are Howie Fineman and Joe Klein. "Conservative commentators" are Peggy Noonan and Bob Novak.

| 5. I think Blitzer has a good, balanced approach |
|
I have never watched Fox but would that be your alternative? It is bad enough that among the Republicans CNN and NPR are considered "liberals." I like both the way they are. Presenting varied view points in a professional manner without the shrill of the dittos..

| 9. No, I want CNN back to the way it was |
|
when Turner ran it. At least you could trust the source for unbiased reporting instead of a constant barrage of neo-con spin.

| 11. WRONG - the Repubs do not "consider" CNN & NPR as liberal |
|
they just keep trying to push that part of their agenda, so that the screams of the lying thousands drown out the soft tones of the few telling the truth.
It has succeeded. The media now has to act right to be considered "neutral".

| 12. they think CNN is liberal because they don't watch it |
|
if they did, they'd realize that CNN has become as right-wing Bush-cock-sucking as Faux News.

| 6. why in the world would anyone expect a liberal to like dean? |
|
i mean, isn't that pretty obvious? maybe they'd prefer to see a liberal as the candidate?

| 7. Myth of Liberal Commentators |
|
The so-called liberal commentators on CNN and other media outlets are beholden to their corporate bosses. CNN = Time Warner, NBC = General Electric, CBS = Westinghouse, ABC = Disney etc etc... These people are all part of the elite of Washington. They attend the same dinner parties and travel in the same circles. (Remember when Saddam was captured NBC's Tim Russert (phony Liberal) was bragging about having dinner with Donald Rumsfeld?)
The elites are part of the ruling structure and will not do anything to rock the status quo. With issues like "Globalization" for example, all the so-called liberal commentators are very pro free traders.
We have to remember that most of the news we see is pure propaganda and we have to look for other sources of news.
