CNN Headline Spin
Powell Says Iraqi Insurgency Getting Worse
Radio Free Europe, Czech Republic

Insurgency in Iraq 'is worsening'
BBC News, UK

Powell acknowledges problems in holding January elections in Iraq
Channel News Asia, Singapore

Top US commander predicts flawed Iraqi elections and more violence
Minneapolis Star Tribune


just another example of the media bias at CNN...these are the headlines of the powell story that ran today, hmm...now notice how CorpNN spins it:

Powell: U.S. goal is stabilizing Iraq for elections

they shift the focus of the story and white wash the title...i don't know this shit still surprises me?!

1. It's almost unbelievable, isn't it?
Just when you think they couldn't outdo themselves, they outdo themselves.

2. 70% of their viewers are "liberals"
Edited on Sun Sep-26-04 01:58 PM by kerryin2004
Since the majority of the dittoheads stick to Faux news.. If we all just stopped watching the Conservative News Network they would have to start changing their tune..They are dependent upon us, we are not dependent on them..Unless they are trying to compete with Faux, but I can't see why they would want to divide Faux viewership in between two networks? It just doesn't make mathematical or advertising dollar sense..
