Missing blonde girl in the Caribbean - leads the news for a week. ......

...... Assasination of a doctor who provides legal reproductive health services - follows GM and Susan Boyle.

Every time I turn on CNN even for just a minute, it's like the scene in "Poltergeist" when the mom opens the door to her kids' haunted room, hoping that things have returned to normal, and all she finds are ghouls, goblins and freaks floating around.

1. i'm sure if someone had assassinated an anti abortion person....
then it would be non stop coverage. and it would be termed an assassination or cold blooded murder instead of something the victim did caused his death.

They went downhill fast after Ted Turner, now they are marginally better than Faux.

3. And thankfully, it seems their ratings are following their programming into the toilet.
CNN isn't even a shadow of what it was under Turner.

RIP, CNN.

6. What do you get when you have Wolfkowitz Crowley.& Time-Warner honchos
and all their loyalists of Cheney-Bush and the Bilderberg(ers). I wonder what the exact of chain of command is now.

4. Haven't watched CNN since Turner sold it
and don't intend to--this is as close as I get to watching it. It is sort of like scanning the headlines of the tabloids in the supermarket checkout line--and CNN's journalism is about as good.

5. Between CNN Morning Joe and Fox& Friends there is almost no coverage
GM
Air France
other stories

they don't want to cover it. Too hard for the "pro-life" crowd to deal with, they clearly haven't got talking points together on it so the media is basically ignoring the story.
