Who the hell does CNN think they are?
I'm watching now, they are taking on Dan Rather, ripping the docs apart, they are hopeless,

but are they this deluded that they think they have any credibility left that anyone would possibly believe them over CBS?????

I can't believe what I am seeing here.

I'm not trying to make a dupe, I am talking about their audASSity.

Don't ask for whom the bell tolls, CNN, it tolls for thee.

This is the death knell. And hopefully a turning tide, when the loonies come screaming out into the light of day, shedding their skins of respectability and showing their true colors. I bet Rather is furious.

1. You can't Outfox Fox.
Just got done watching the DVD of "Outfoxed." Just what I needed -- to be more agitated.

Does CNN honestly think that the Repukes are going to swtitch? What I would give to see them go down in flames.

Thanks, I needed that giggle.

Although, it's truly not funny is it, that this is happening. God, our country needs help!

25. "If You Offer People The Choice Of A Republican And A Republican,
They'll Choose The Republican Every Time."

The actual Truman quote is as follows:

"If it's a choice between a genuine Republican, and a Republican in Democratic clothing, the people will choose the genuine article, every time; that is, they will take a Republican before they will a phony Democrat, and I don't want any phony Democratic candidates in this campaign."

27. They are trying to Out SAUDI Fox. Saudis own a big chunk of CNN
Edited on Sat Sep-11-04 02:41 PM by blm
and they want their Bush boy in there to keep covering up for them both.

Kerry has already told them he will hold them accountable for fostering terrorists for so long.

29. Saudis advertise in Newsweek all the time, too
The Saudi influence on "American" journalism is not to be lightly discounted.

We need to get this message out there. "They tek rrr jobs!!!"

3. Bass Tards no doubt care more about "ratings". Fox is highest
in ratings *choke*, MSNBC is down at about .07. I guess CNN wants a part of that market share so they will pander to the RW nuts to get a piece of Fox's audience.

IT'S SICK. Dan Rather, among a handful of others, are the last real journalists left in America. We are watching the declince of a great era of broadcasting journalism.

All I can say is: keep sending flaming E's to CNN or their advertisers. IT'S ALL ABOUT MONEY in one way or the other; and not abot real investigative journalism at all. :(

4. It may be a birth, of a new era...
I saw Rather in their interview snippet, and he looked so small..

They can't do this to him/He's rubber and they're glue/Everything they say bounces off him and sticks to THEM.

7. How many registered voters watch CNN/Fox?
And how many voters are there? Just asking.

And for the sake of comparison, how many registered voters listen to Howard Stern. I think I heard it was 8 million. Or maybe that was just people of voting *age*.

Anyway, I'm curious.

13. Penner ...
You shut up, sit down and at least TRY to remain calm!

Remember the words "It ain't over til' the fat lady sings?!!!"

Think about it! :think:

And not only that, get out there and help us out, instead of giving up! (Please excuse me, if you already ARE doing something to help out!)

Lets see...I have donated 2000 dollars to John Kerry's campaign, I have a Kerry/Edwards sign on my car and house. And, I will work at my precinct on election day for Kerry/Edwards. Is that a low enough profile for you?

19. Hey, we're talking...
...about the 4th branch of government here.

And aside from the "shut up and sit down" part, I'm in pretty damn good agreement with Penner.

Isn't that their goal?
