Might be time for another Virtual Protest of CNN.
They need to apologize to CBS and Rather and also have to be put in there place for taking a freeper internet rumor and giving it more credibility then a long established News program like 60 Minutes.

Anyone still have all the contact info from the last protest?

1. well, to their credit, they DID air their interview w/Dan Rather....
...although I only saw the FULL interview on Wolfie's show.

That interview was telling, not only about content, but also about their editing.

9. I'm done prptesting CNN until the dems stand up for themselves
A classic example: Wolf opened the door for Waldman by acting as zealous defense council for chimp during his interview. Waldman had the perfect oppotunity to say: You know wolf, it's pretty telling that you didn't attack swift boat liars the way you're attacking a respected journalist Dan Rather. I guess you're letting your bias show as the race heats up."

What the fuck to the dems have to lose? Are they afraid the coverage will get worse? At worst the whoreing doesn't diminish. At best a couple of whores think twice before whoring blatantly, knowing that they are going to get called on it every show!


FUCK SHIT FUCK MOTHERFUCKING FUCK SHIT!!!

ahem....sorry. I'm OK now.

12. I think it was vetwife who launched it. Count me in, again.
I call these guys all the time to complain. Everybody should. Otherwise, all they'll EVER hear from will be the Bad Guys.

I already do not watch CNN, but would be more than hapy to send another scathing email to them on whatever date we will be blitzing or protesting
