4. The important thing now is to have Chimp beat Carter's record low.

I think we can get Chimp down to 30% or lower. Who's with me?!

5. Thanks everyone!

I sent a negative report on her using their form with their report. And to think I thought journalism was a noble pursuit when I majored in it in college.

6. Thanks for the heads up.

I just wrote to CNN also, and asked that they at least TRY to avoid the appearance of bias. Wishful dreaming . . .

7. What else in new, she lies like Ronnie "sip-sip" (lap dog) Tutu.

Who was Ferdinand Marcos' Judy Woodruff.

What else is new "sip-sip" Woodruff...?

8. I lambasted her

I loved my final line in the lambasting:

To demonstrate the erroneous nature of her comments, I cite your own web site as the source for Clinton having the highest approval ratings of any outgoing president:

You're good. Too good!

9. blatant LIE

Over the course of this week we'll be hearing a lot about Ronald Reagan, much of it false. A number of news sources have already proclaimed Mr. Reagan the most popular president of modern times. In fact, though Mr. Reagan was very popular in 1984 and 1985, he spent the latter part of his presidency under the shadow of the Iran-Contra scandal. Bill Clinton had a slightly higher average Gallup approval rating, and a much higher rating during his last two years in office

12. Negative report Filed

I am sure that it won't be worth a piss in the wind, but it did make me feel better to correct the shill.

[Damn Hippie]

13. For what its worth I used the form...

"President Clinton had a higher appoval rating at the end of his presidency than did President Reagan, 65% to 63%. Clinton's average was also higher, 55% to 53%. Please correct your inaccuate characterization of President Reagan's popularity. Some of us do remember what it was like when he was in office."

(On second thought, I should of clicked on the "positive" button. She probably doesn't read the negative ones.)

[Jacobin]

14. Here's mine:

I usually just ignore Judy Woodruff's blatant pandering to the right wing, but her latest fictional statement, reported as fact, grated on my nerves more than usual. Please ask Ms. Woodruff to correct the statement she made exagerating the popularity of the departed President Reagan. You may direct her to any number of sources for this information, including your own links, here:
http://www.cnn.com/2001/ALLPOLITICS/stories/01/10/cnn.poll.clinton/ Or here: http://nytimes.com/2004/06/08/opinion/08KRUG.html

Is there anything that can be done to reign Ms. Woodruff in? She is making your news division a laughingstock.
Thank you.

16. text of my complaint to CNN

"Judy Woodruff and others insist on reporting that Ronald Reagan had the highest approval rating of any president leaving office since WWII. Not true. According to my favorite news source - CNN - Bill Clinton's final approval rating was 65% and Reagan's was only 63%. Will CNN report that Clinton left office being loved by America?

Please have someone retract the false reports regarding Reagan's final approval rating. Many, including myself, cherish CNN for the reliable information that it provides. This false reporting, however, does not live up to the high standard that CNN has set for decades."
