Call CNN & register a complaint "Game-The wrong pictures are being used"
Edited on Tue Aug-24-04 11:58 AM by Bushneedstogo
They are talking about Saddam Hussein but they are showing pictures of Bin Laden.

Why are they doing this? Because they want their brain washed viewers connecting the two men as the same and they want us to hold both of them responsible for the 9/11 bombing. They also want to make sure that Bush's war on Terror is looked at as being a necessary war.

Can we all contact CNN and tell them we are sick of their right wing tactics.

:grr:

Class Warrior was nice enough to look up CNN's phone number.

404-827-0234 - and press 8 to get a live operator.

15. Getting our "two Johns-no waiting" elected in November
is just the first step, big step though it is, in reversing the degradation which has occurred in the last fifty years. This battle will Unfortunately, never end, totally. The forces of intolerance and evil will always be with us. We are just trying to elevate the level of the field out of the swamp so we can start the next fight.

2. Ah you are tuned in to the 5 Minutes Hate, I see
SNYP> They also want to make sure that Bush's war on Terror is looked at as being a necessary war.< Un Snyp

Comrade Bushneedstogo

I must warn you that comments like this can only draw the attention of the thought police.

Why do you hate America so much? Remember War is Peace, Ignorance is Stregnth and Freedom is Slavery. Its never been more true than today.

for what it is worth - I stopped suscribing to cable in 1987 and never regreted it.
watch VERY little TV as a rule.

7. The media is privaely owned by large corporations
they control the message - and they are beholden to powerful vested interests.
They've infiltrated to the degree that the messages seemed to be orchestrated.

I am not so sure of PBS anymore, or NPR for that matter. I think it is all compromised by now.

5. After, close to 20 years of watching CNN
I've really for the most part watching CNN and gone over to MSNBC. I don't feel like I'm leaving anything behind either. Its not the same since the AOL/Time Warner merger much less since Turner sold it.

14. If you get a chance (it reruns often)
watch the Charlie Rose interview of Turner. Delightfully informative.

12. The Sad Part of the Media
is that with all the degrees, all the higher education, all the brain cells collectively making up "The Media," they honestly wonder why ALL of us are not brainwashed yet.

They are absolutely stunned that with this kind of blatant propoganda blaring 24/7 we are not all fanatics for *.

Anyone who watches the mainstream news and BELIEVES it is a sheep and is devoid of any reasoning skills. Ditto for the mainstream media as well. Sheep. No reasoning skills.

Wasted educations all the way around. They're all just actors playing to the masses, kissing the King's ass.
