CNN Outfront
Okay, so I'm watching this show with Erin Burnet and she dissed the Wall Street protesters twice, and had Trump on... I'm only half watching the show, but I had to check to make sure I didn't put Fox on by accident.

2. Yes, she seems more suited for Fox News than CNN!

4. Just another brief blurb from CNN again with eye-rolling "Seriously?"
So how do we get CNN to take Occupy Wall Street seriously?

5. I didn't see that. Wonderful what you don't see if you never turn it on. . .
And that's the only way they'll ever change their editorial stance: If enough people refuse to watch because they're tired of the bullshit, the bullshit will be removed because, in the final analysis, the only thing that matters to these whores is the only thing that's ever mattered to whores: money.

6. I run even more cynical.
I see the M$M as the propaganda wing of the Corporate State.

Their job is not just to make a profit through advertising, but to push the pernicious agenda of their corporate overlords, seeking to advance the concentration of wealth in fewer and fewer hands.

9. But when the middle class is whittled down to nothing,
Who will the advertisers be selling to? No one except that 1%. Not in the MSM's best interest.

13. You expect long-term vision & planning
from that crowd?

It's "I got mine, fuck you" all the way.

19. Every oncer in a while a person slips up cognitively
and thinks of them as having normal human interests and concerns.

12. MSM is the sorporate state. They're owned and operated by the overlords.
Murdock et al.

8. Erin Burnet is just there for her looks, she has no idea what she is talking about
and just parrots talking points that are fed to her

11. She mentioned that the government made a profit on their tarp loans to
the banksters but not that the banksters caused the housing bubble. She missed the biggest part of the issue.

18. The government did not make a profit.
If she said that, she's lying.

15. That's why I quit watching CNN 2 or 3 years ago
When I noticed that the were steadily moving toward the 1% and to hell with the 99%.

16. Yes, I noticed that too...
Looks like CNN is going conservative for its 7PM time slot. Shep Smith is detested by conservatives and is probably their least favorite anchor on Fox, looks to me like CNN is gunning for that audience. Show will last 6 months and will be long forgotten this time next year. Saying that, I do kinda think Erin Burnett is pretty hot.

22. Burnett is a corporate tool from CNBC...she's all about big business
Here and Bartiromo defended Wall Street during the economic meltdown in 2008. They are all about not saying anything to ruffle the feathers of corporations. Burnett should be on Fox for sure, but CNN is just a sanitized version of Fox News, so no surprise there.

24. I remember Mark Haines tearing up on the show when she
announced her move.

Wonder if it was because he knew she was moving further to the dark side.
