CNN is really smoking tonight in their analysis
very objective

they indicated that they have never seen one party try to trash another one so badly

the implication is that the republican convention was filled with animosity and anger, while the democratic convention was concilitory

1. I hope the Kerry camp takes note that hate is the WRONG direction
THey should stay the course, keep talking about the future, but hit back a bit re: the wishy washy crap. Point out all the lies and mistakes * has made, etc.

6. well, seeing as how greed is all a part of hate and fear ...
I'd say ... nothing (to answer your question).

I'm glad they're showing their true colors.

They are also the party of LIES.

they never EVER tell the truth. NEVER

10. Maybe they are trying
to make up for shitting on the Democratic Convention. I know alot of DU'ers sent letters to them. Maybe they actually listened and are trying to be "fair and balanced"

9. MSNBC is sucking like no tomorrow
Scarborough is out there, backed up by Ron Silver, saying that pollsters are telling him that many Democrats are answering "Kerry" on the polls because they're embarassed to say Bush. He's claming that many will end up voting for Bush in November because he's so strong on terrorism. :eyes:

Where do people come with this BULLSHIT?

11. Buchanan in 1992
I haven't seen much of this convention, but I remember watching that. If it is anything like that, it would be a mistake on their part.

12. Miller is no worse than an average day on Fox News
They say this same stuff all day every day. I didn't see anything new or unusual, except that this was a major moment in the campaign (and that he's a Dem).

The die-hard Bush supporters really believe this shit, and they are using this to get votes for Bush. This is their everyday ammo against us! All bullshit and venom.

Seems to be the consensus. Nobody had his back, that's for sure.

14. CNN
I was talking with a certain former CNN correspondent, who happens to be my uncle, and he said that he is disapointed in the way CNN has gone away from the actual NEWS in the last few years.

19. Well, when you piss off
over HALF the country in an effort to compete for the minority (who Faux already has), you will certainly lose market share.

It doesn't make good business sense not to go after the progressive/liberal majority. Don't know what the upper management of CNN is thinking.

They deserve to tank in the ratings.

18. After this...maybe just mayve...i'll watch it on CNN tonight...just to see
But if they cut up like they did for the DNC....I'm permanately blocking their channel on my dish box. I will sure miss Lou Dobbs. I already haven't seen the show since I started boycotting for what they did to the DNC. But I have to do it for my country.
