1. Americans no longer understand the difference...
...between journalism and punditry. Between reporting the truth and biased opinions.

- He who controls the media controls the truth.

7. I guess the one that is on now...
Edited on Sat Aug-28-04 08:25 AM by arcos
I'm not sure of her name... When I saw the title I immediatly thought "Carol Lin!", who is on sometimes on Saturdays. But it is not her... I've seen her before but don't know her name.

on edit: oops, it was a he, not a she... I just tuned in, so I've only seen her :P

13. When he says his name
he mumbles a bit, but I'm fairly sure his surname is Griffin. I'm not really sure, but it sounded as though he said Joe Griffin, but, again, I don't think he really wants us to know his name.

8. Oh good lord, which idiot was it?
We can write and explain to the poor confused person that they mostly provide birth control which PREVENTS abortions. Or maybe he thinks they are giving out free abortions on the street. Who knows with CNN, anymore.

10. CNN has become as bad as faux
Have you noticed how the idiots all smile and practically giggle as they present bad news about the economy, Iraq etc

The only time they look serious and dour is when they speak about...God forbid, Kerry or the Democrats.

27. CNN has no ratings
In the latest cable ratings their numbers in adults 25-54 (day time) was 0.0
That's not a mistake. ZERO
CNN broadcasts only to 350,000 retired shut-ins.
In primetime they get some paltry numbers, but mostly for Brown and King.
CNNs influence is zero. It's become a vanity operation, like the NY Post, for corporate/Republican disinformation.

11. Give us that dirty laundry!
DIRTY LAUNDRY

Don Henley - Eagles

I make my living off the evening news
Just give me something-something I can use
People love it when you lose,
They love dirty laundry

Well, I coulda been an actor, but I wound up here
I just have to look good, I don’t have to be clear
Come and whisper in my ear
Give us dirty laundry

Kick ’em when they’re up
Kick ’em when they’re down
Kick ’em when they’re up
Kick ’em when they’re down
Kick ’em when they’re up
Kick ’em when they’re down
Kick ’em when they’re up
Kick ’em all around

We got the bubble-headed-bleach-blonde who
Comes on at five
She can tell you ’bout the plane crash with a gleam
In her eye
It’s interesting when people die-
Give us dirty laundry

Can we film the operation?
Is the head dead yet?
You know, the boys in the newsroom got a
Running bet
Get the widow on the set!
We need dirty laundry

You don’t really need to find out what’s going on
You don’t really want to know just how far it’s gone
Just leave well enough alone
Eat your dirty laundry

Kick ’em when they’re up
Kick ’em when they’re down
Kick ’em when they’re up
Kick ’em when they’re down

Kick ’em when they’re up
Kick ’em when they’re down
Kick ’em when they’re stiff
Kick ’em all around

Dirty little secrets
Dirty little lies
We got our dirty little fingers in everybody’s pie
We love to cut you down to size
We love dirty laundry

We can do the innuendo
We can dance and sing
When it’s said and done we haven’t told you a thing
We all know that crap is king
Give us dirty laundry!

12. Wow... I'm speechlessly pissed off by this.
So are they going to call the Republican Convention the redneck reunion that it really is?

25. It committed "cnn-icide"
They were so "worried" about the niche-station, Faux,they lost sight of what their own mission was..

Instead of reporting news, they are just bottom-feeding panderers of sludge.

They should not be surprised that they are dropping like a rock..

You would think that there is SOMEONE there who still remembers what they were doing back when they were NUMBER ONE...

I really wish that Ted could get it back.. He would turn it around..

18. they turned the womens march into something it wasn't too
it is about choices....and having information on condoms....the rethugs are against....preventing pregnancy they are against......so then they call it abortion....the abortion wouldn't be necessary if you let them....plan parenthood.....the rethugs are horrible..they want total control over bodies...they are obsessed with bodies...

20. Keep talkin' CNN...
You're ratings are going in the toilet thanks to your strategy to be more like Fox. Part of me hopes that maybe you'll learn from your mistakes, but I'm not holding my breath. I just hope that your demise comes as soon as possible. It's already well under way.
