| CNN rejected my simple "YES" comment for passing health care. I responded |
|
to Jack Cafferty's question on Blitzer's Situation Room, "Should Dems try to ram health care reform through with 51 votes?" I guess YES!!! did not suit the propaganda CNN is pushing. Every time I switch to CNN I like it less and less, especially all of the interruptions yesterday at the Health Summit when Democrats were speaking. CNN is such a controlled propaganda outlet in competition with Fox News IMO. CNN, the next Fox News.

| 1. The only way we're going to destroy CNN is by refusing to watch it. n/t |

| 2. They seem to be trying to Foxify themselves even more lately. |
|
I don't watch them much either.

| 3. Or maybe they wanted something more interesting to use? |
|
If you've watched the Cafferty File segments, you'll have noticed 1) they tend to balance pro and anti messages on whatever the question is, and 2) they generally read submissions that are three to for sentences long.

The only thing watching CNN will get you is misinformed (actually, misinformed and high blood pressure to go along with the dumbing down).

| 9. They are all the same. |
|
FOX CNN and MSNBC are all corporate entities that drive profits over news. That is the only way that they remain in business. If we are to think that we can get accurate NEWS from any of these outlets we are fooling ourselves.
There are two options.
Do not watch and let the controlled population believe they are getting accurate news.
Or Watch all three and participate in their programs by writing in and calling into their shows. (if done in an organized way you will make the air)
I have chosen to unplug the television and only participate online. I think this is the better alternative.

They're even taking story ideas from that idiot Beck.
Pathetic.

| 14. Anything goes to improve the bottom line, the hell with the country and |
|
citizens. We are in a pathetic period of time in this country IMO. And the propaganda, twisted reporting, lies and disinformation is this country is astounding. IMO it will limit the future of the US, because the citizenry is so misinformed and controlled by propaganda.

| 15. CNN wants to start so unding like FauxAntiNews. Real sad. |
|
I did notice it also, many others too, my fab station is msnbc and then it was cnn, but now i am sticking with msnbc, i only watch CNN early afternoon when Rick Sanchez is on, i like him a lot, but other thant that, forget it, I feel bad for the news people that work for them that some of them are full pro-obama's, maybe they will force them to start an anti-obama talkshow campaign.
