I called CNN and told Management I was going public with sexist remark
I told them I wanted Cafferty to apologize to women for his remarks or I was going public on C-span about Cnn . I also told them I was going to go public anyway because of their biased reporting !
I demanded a senior producer to call me back !

3. See below..these remarks !
He was reading from a study about how women worked longer hours and took care of the kids and did the housework according to studies..Then he added AS SHOULD BE ! That one made me mad, the second, I was fuming. He said, the study also shows that women who work outside the home have more responsibility for caretaking....Then chuckled and said "AS SHOULD BE". I was too mad to write. Then I thought. I will write this jerk. But Oct 4th between 9 and 4 C-Span is paying me a visit with an honorary certificate for my work that essay and work I have done and I will have a say about the unbiased opinions of CNN......AS SHOULD BE !
Ife he claims he was kidding...I would say, that is what my 13 year old does when she gets caught and in trouble. How mature!

9. RW assholes always say "hey, I was just kidding" then accuse
us of overreactiong ....

But when you criticize them, they go absolutely psycho on you.

They can dish it out but can NEVER take it.

They are pathetic disgusting fools.

13. Because they are ignorant and sexist.
Sorry I just couldn't resist. :D And they also are arrogant, narrow minded, and filled with false pride. And we know where that pride thing can take you.

12. And another CNN thing..........
I was watching earlier..they were presenting hurricane coverage..and again and again..they would show the piece with Jeb making his comments on the situation...and in the lower right corner was the window with the woman signing for the deaf..giving important information..and the intire window..including any chance for a deaf person to see the woman signing...was the CNN logo blocking the woman and making it impossible for a deaf person to "see" what she was signing. What is wrong with them???
