WTF? CNN Headline news is so full of BS!!!!!!!

[Gothic Sponge]

"Thousands of protesters walked across NYC in support of abortion rights."

That's it?

1. Is anyone taking a guess on the # of protestors?

I was watching c-span for quite a while, and it sure looked like a LOT of people to me! I don't know how to judge the size of a crowd, but it looked to me like several thousand.

2. Just today they are full of BS? That's surprising.

That's surprising. They are usually always full of BS. Why just today the wolf in sheep's clothing was asking why shouldn't vets be allowed to question Kerry's war record. So I ask Blitzer this. Why do you like porn? I heard you can't get enough of it.

Protesters move through the streets of Manhattan on Sunday, the eve of the Republican National Convention in New York.

NEW YORK (CNN) -- Tens of thousands of demonstrators carrying signs and chanting "No More Bush" marched Sunday past Madison Square Garden, the site of this week's Republican National Convention.

The march was sponsored by United for Peace and Justice, a group opposed to the U.S.-led war in Iraq. Organizers had predicted as many as 250,000 demonstrators would take part.(Gallery: Scenes from the day)

Many participants said they hoped a large crowd at Sunday's protest would send a message to the rest of the country. (Special report: America Votes 2004, the Republican convention)

6. "Tens of thousands" is still bullshit

It certainly must have been in excess of 200,000

[pagerbear]

5. NY Times website says hundreds of thousands

[HereSince1628]

7. Yes, scores, maybe ten thousand score, were marching

The trouble with spinning is you can say something like " a number of anti-Bush demonstraters marced on Madison Sq Garden," and it would be true. Spun but not really a lie.

8. I watched CSPAN all day...

I can't take CNN anymore. It's making me sick. Literally.

Because I watched CSPAN today, I got to see an ocean of beautiful people standing up for change. I feel re-inspired. Those people rock! I only wish I could be there with them.

You gotta turn the channel Gothic... CNN has been affecting me negatively for a long time now. They're only getting worse.

Try not to torture yourself with it.
