I heard him use it the other night and this old hippie's ears perked up. I knew Joey likes to rock out, plays a pretty decent guitar (Lee Atwater style) and shows moments of downright human, but I shouldn't have given him the credit for using that line...so perfect for today's situation.
After over 20 years of almost non-stop viewing (and I mean 24/7 all those years) on CNN, I now just pass over them, just like Faux, and have found all sorts of other alternatives to get both fair reporting and and to see/hear all sorts of different viewpoints & opinions.
I'm convinced CNNservative feels they have to generate news as opposed to report it, thus to "control" the news and then exploit it. They now manufacture stories when none exist or take small stories (Slime Boats) and turn it into a major scandal.
They wrap what they call "news" in a combination of conflicts and game playing. Their shilling for other Time pubs (Time, People, Fortune) is well-known, but now isn't identified as being co-owned, nor is there any disclaimers when Gallup numbers are used (CNN owns a piece of that action) and the conflicts of their own on-air people (Bill "Mr. AEI" Schneider for example).
Then there are the "newsbabes" that CNNservative uses...pretty faces with poisoned opinions. There's Kagan, Linn, Phillips and others who spew the Rove talking points as it's gospel and are outright hostile to Democrats or any comments made negatively about this regime.
What gets me, and one that should be addressed is how CNNservative claims to be the "world's most trusted network". It's time CNNservative is reminded that was a different network than the one I no longer watch. That was the CNN of Ted Turner...the upstart that blew through the control and games of the major networks to create 24/7 news. Now, it's just a subsidiary of the RNC.
It's easy to "turn it off"...but we need to keep an eye on these goons and call them out for all the spin and lies they present...document this and pass it along (as DU'er have been doing). Eventually CNNservative will see how they've turned off half the American people and a large share of what was their former base viewing audience. Greed is so shallow.
