Is CNN really being fair to Dems?
This question is for anyone watching CNN, a feat which I can not even attempt. It's been my impression during the last couple of days that their coverage is becoming more balanced. Thanks for the great updates, by the way! But are these isolated incidents,with the remainder of the coverage just as *ed as ever, or is there a real change in tone? Once again, I salute your bravery, CNN viewers!!:-)

1. When you've been starving even a crumb looks good
Fair coverage? Not a chance.

3. I guess you've not had a chance
to view the Wolf. At every opportunity he pukes the rethugs' talking points.

4. I've been listening to CNN
And I think they are asking a few harder, more combative questions and not letting the liars just spout their illogical shit without a few hits, but still not enough. I've written emails to several of the reporters asking them to please ask the hard questions and point out their falsehoods...ok, damn lies!! I'm going to write some more to them.

5. How many democrat rebuttals have you seen?/
As opposed to all the republicans they trumped out during the Dem's convention?/ They are definitely the conservative news network, only IMO worse then Faux news because at least Faux doesn't hide it's bias behind a few "capture the dem audience" stories.. With all the crap you could discuss on the shrub, for there to bew so little talk about all his fuck ups and so much coverage given to the SBV liars only shows there allegiance to the fuhrer.

6. CNN has given up on journalism. In the past few years, their standards
have become so low, they are now comparable to Drudge or the Enquirer. They will report any gossip or rumor - especially those that are salacious or controversial.

I get most of my information from the Internet. Some have said that MSNBC is getting better so I might give them a try.

7. MSNBC coverage has sucked
Generally they've seemed to be getting better, but the convention coverage I've seen has been terrible. 3-1 Republicans to Democrats on the discussion panels. I heard Hillary was going to be heading a response team, but my s/o hasn't seen her on any of the channels yet.

8. Syeah! like judy's fawning of the chimp today. And john King
one of the most shamelessly sycophantic whores ever to stand on the White House lawn, who asked Pickles in so many words "Theresa Kerry is an awful bitch, isn't she." and "Mrs. First Lady, why are you so wonderful?" Unbelievable. I'm on vacation, and was sitting by the pool listening to XM--people were staring 'cause I was calling that son of a bitch every name in the book. Musta thought I was Schizo.

9. OK, I'll take that as a "No!"
I only asked because I haven't watched any CNN since the convention started,and for weeks before that. It sounded like they came out against Zell last night. Of course he IS a Dem. They're probably only capable of following one Rove talking point at a time: bash Dems. Idiots.
